ODBD Monthly Challenge - It's New



Good Saturday Morning! WOW two posts in a 24 hour period.



Well we have a brand new wonderful challenge going on over at Operation Write Home. It's called the ODBD Challenge. Our Daily Bread Designs is now sponsoring this challenge which will take place on the first Saturday of every month. They are generously offering (2) $25.00 gift certificates and on top of that they will be making a shipping donation every month. We need as many cards as possible for this challenge every month because their shipping donation is based on how many card we submit to the InLinkz. You can read all the particulars here. So get out your "stuff" and get cracking please. It will really help OWH with the cost of shipping all these beautiful cards to our heroes. I know they will be releasing some of these heroes by the end of this year, but there are still many, many men and women away from their families and would love to recieve these cards. For this first challenge they are looking for "Love or Valentine " themed cards. My card is very simple. I just used white on white with a swiss dotted embossing on the top layer of white. The hearts are made from SU's heart punch and their Heart Die. The sentiment on the hearts is also from SU. I just used a piece of SU dsp from one of their retired 6 x 6 packs and then added ribbon and the ric rak border punch from E K Success. I dotted around the edges of the hearts with red and white to help make them pop.

  8. Hi Donna, I really love your card. In ancient times, lol! (the 1950's) my mom made me a dress that was white with red polka dots and it had rick rack trimming it. I just loved that dress, and your card reminds me of it so much! Very cute card - neat idea to use two hearts for the sentiment.
