Grandma & Grandpa
My second entry into the Our Daily Bread Designs Let Your Light Shine challenge, week 2. I went with the same vintage look as last week. This is a great challenge for me, I'm getting so many photos scraped. This is a pic of my grandparents at Christmas time. No date on it though. I used ODBD 'Ornaments' stamp set with Spellbinders dies. I purchased them as a bundle last year, (love the ODBD bundles). I used 3 die sizes but only one stamp image, all are on dimensionals I'll be making more tags and decorations with this gorgeous set again this year.
I used lace, which is hard to see under my watermark, and several strips of border punched pieces so that I could add this to the Hotspot challenge. This also goes helps it to go with last weeks page. The beautiful lace is from McMahon Five Designs, (also used on my first entry page HERE).
See the doodling around the journal ornament? That qualifies for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ challenge.
I really hit the jackpot of challenges with this page didn't I? Now I just need to find a challenge looking for 'distressed' (I sponged with brown ink), or 'vintage', heehee.
On a personal note....
My dear daughter just called to tell me she was at the ocean, and I could hear the waves. She and her bestie had to buy matching sweatshirts, hers is red and Jacq's is white. Silly girls. If you don't know already, my 16 y/o went to CA with her best friend and their grandmother. They are staying with family for 3 weeks. We miss her around here, but she calls & texts often enough.
Have a great week everyone!!!
