Southern Scraps

I'm sharing a quick little project that I did as a Valentine's gift for my husband. It would really fit any occasion. If you are a stamper, this is a great way to use your stamps for more than cards. I took the Our Daily Bread stamp of Isaiah 40:31, my husband's favorite Bible verse and stamped it on cardstock. I cut that out with a Nestabilities die and cut a larger mat from the same shape die. I also stamped the eagle from the stamp set, colored it with Prismacolor pencils and cut it out. I took the matted verse and adhered it to a piece of Basic Grey paper cut to 4x6 to fit the frame opening. BTW, I got this frame from Tuesday Morning and it came with the large cross. I knew that with the cross it would be perfect for a project for my husband. I adhered the eagle in the corner over this. I wanted a little something else on the frame, so I took a cross charm, cut the hanging loop off with wire cutters, and glued it to the bottom right corner. This all went very quickly...

We could all stand to be lifted up in prayer, not just in difficult times, but daily. I'm so glad to know there are people who pray for me. I used this ODB stamp from the Lift Up Our Hands set for this weeks ODBDSLC- sketch challenge and Stampin' Sisters in Christ's prayer/peace theme challenge . I modified the sketch a little because it was just not working for me. My two panels are not as long as they are supposed to be but I still like the end results. Paper: BasicGrey Wisteria Stamp: ODB Tools: Marvy scallop punch, nestabilities long rectangles and scalloped rectangles Accents: Ribbon, button, cabochon, Prima flowers Other challenges: Pile It on: Sentiment only Aly's: Buttons

I've used the CPS sketch 159 with my "something new" for ODB Stamping In Time: On Assignment challenge . My something new is the Nestabilities cross die. I knew this would be a must have item for me when I saw it. I've used ODB The Cross of Christ set, a scrap of BasicGrey design paper and some Recollections Gemstone cardstock for this one. Thanks for stopping by.

Our Daily Bread's Day 3 Anniversary challenge was to use silver or gold. I went with gold. I made the gold crosses from Nestabilities cross dies. The white background is embossed with the Cuttlebug Moroccan embossing folder. The sentiment stamp is ODB. Thanks for visiting and have a great week!
