This week's challenge is:   Create a Shaped Card or project (no straight edge squares or rectangles)

If at all possible, please upload your creations to Splitcoast or a blog if you would like comments or would like to be spotlighted.  It is very difficult and sometimes impossible to leave comments on other forums or to save and post cards to be spotlighted from places like Flickr.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Sunday, March 2, at 8 p.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next challenge.   

As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing three or more of our participants  for the  Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must  have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, March 2, at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword  ODBDSLC192.  When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

If you do not use ODBD stamps or dies on your creations, you may only link one card.  Additional cards not using Our Daily Bread Designs products will be deleted.

Now on to our challenge teams inspiring creations for this challenge:


Please note the designers link, challenges used and the stamp set they used is listed under each creation. If you take a moment to leave the girls some love at their blogs, I am sure they would greatly appreciate it.

A Look Back at the February Release

Have you seen our February Releases?   This month we have two "love" sentiment stamp sets, four heart stamp sets and 4 single heart stamps that coordinate with our new Custom Ornate Hearts Dies.  This month, we also released our Custom Beautiful Borders Die Set, which makes for a wonderful accent die cut when used with your card making or scrapbooking projects!  In addition to these stamp sets and custom dies, we also released the beautiful Heart and Soul Paper Collection.

Our two sentiment stamp sets, Be Mine and Love You Bunches can be used on their own or mixed with this month's beautiful heart theme stamps and the ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Die set to create beautiful cards or home decor projects!

Next, we have our new heart theme stamp sets and single stamps.  The heart stamps in the "sets" are designed to be die cut using the medium and small heart dies from the ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Die set; the single heart stamps are designed to be die cut using the large scallop die in our ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Die set. Be sure to watch our February Release video below for tips on using these stamp sets with our custom dies.
