It's the start of the new year and though we may be filled with expectation and hopes that the year will be uneventful and all smooth sailing, we know that may not be what the Lord has in store for our good and His glory! So, we are admonished and encouraged to be strong and take heart. . .our hope is in the Lord and not in the things of this world which are passing away!
The Challenge
It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge (SNTODBD51)! The Challenge this rotation is all about
2012! Or, at least the numbers that make up the year. Like 2-0-1-2.
The numbers are a formula or recipe for how much we can add or not add
to our card! Any stamps are allowed; however, if you use ODBD
stamps you are entered twice for the win! Play as often as you like!
The more you play the more you increase you chances to win!
2- Use two of something
0- Use zero of something (list what it is....no dp? No die cuts?)
1- Use one of something
2- Use two of something else
There are some lovely samples prepared for you by the ODBD designers:
Now, it is your turn to play! Here are the guidelines.
You must use ODBD

Project Details
This started out as the inside of a card. . .I liked it so much, I made another card. I liked the card so much that I made a wall hanging. This is a $5 frame. I covered the white mat with the faux leather, created a back panel and added essentially a card front to finish it off. The faux letter is really easy. . .take a leather colored shade of paper, sponge over with a slightly darker ink to give it some dimension. Dry emboss, sponge a bit more. . and there you have it! Crafted for a dear friend. . .2 ~ Colors
0 ~ Ribbon
1 ~ Embossing Powder/Ink
2 ` Brads
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 3
Card Stock: Basic Black, Tan
Designer Paper: None
Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Creamy Caramel, Ranger Distress Antique

Accessories: Brads, SU Framed Tulips Embossing Folder,
