Love... Stamping in Time

SIT-Love

It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD27)! The assignment is Our Daily Bread Design stamps. The challenge this rotation is "All about Love!" Love can be conveyed in many ways. You can use sentiments, stamps, or designer papers that use the word love or have a heart on them! You can use scriptures that actually use the word LOVE! Or, you can come up with your own idea about LOVE! Just let us know what you use to convey love! We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps!

For my card I used Our Daily Bread designs Love One Another set. I colored it with Copics and cut the panel with Spellbinders Labels Ten . I matted that on Gina K Cranberry Tart cs cut with Spellbinders Labels Fourteen which I embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I matted that with a white layer, embossed with a Cuttlebut Swiss Dot folder and cut with a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles die. I cut and embossed everything with my new Grand Calibur and I love how smoothly it works, yet makes an incredible impression when embossing! I used a Martha Stewart edge punch.

This card was made to take to my church along with a lot of others to donate to a missions scholarship fundraiser. I bought a revolving card rack to have in the Church where people can take whatever cards they want... and hopefully will leave a donation in the attached box. My hope is that lots of cards will be taken for whatever donation people care to make, and that those donations will enable someone to go on mission who can't otherwise afford to do so. I'm resisting the temptation to see how much money has been raised so far, as it's only been in place a little over a week, but pray with me that God will use this in many ways.... it's always amazing to think what God can do with even a little thing! Just think... if someone goes on mission.... and someone else finds the Lord through that person... and then two more find the Lord through that person... well... the results could be far above what we can even imagine! Will you pray with me for God to use this little effort?

Well... that's my take on the love challenge this week! Now let's see yours! Simply link to the Stamping in Time Challenge on the ODBD Blog by Feb 9th! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hi Grace,

What a lovely use of this stamp. It is precious. The trim adds to the country feel this gives. Your embossing is so clear and looks so clean! I love it!

I am praying for your Mission's card ministry. I know just what you mean about one person sharing with 2 others, and how easily the Love of and For the Lord is spread all around this world! Wonderful idea! I'm sure your cards will go for a bundle!

He IS Able,
Traci S.
