Happy Saturday everyone!

It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs! 

This week's challenge:

Since it is February and we are acknowledging national heroes (President’s Day) or people who are special to us (Valentine’s Day) in the U.S. , the challenge team is challenging you to acknowledge and case a crafter you admire or a creation you admire changing just two elements to make it our own.

Please let us know who you cased and leave a link to their creation as well as tell us what you changed.

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 Friday, February 10th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on or will they qualify for prizes.

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them.As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award.Inorder to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have yoursubmission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, February 10th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC95. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

This is my take on the challenge:

This is a CASE of a very sweet lady who I totally admire for her talent and also for the special person she is, Pat Smethers.  Here is the card I cased.  I changed the colors and added a ribbon and bow.  This is actually a very pretty sketch that I've never done before, not like me to go outside the "box".  This is the second card I made, as the first card didn't make the "cut", lol.  I have since finished the first card and will post it in the next couple of days.

Here are the ingredients I used:

Stamps: Eternity (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Botanical Collection (Prima), Witch Hazel, Palo Verde, Safari, & Citrus (Bazzills)
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Elegant Oval Frame Custom ODBD Dies, adhesive pearls (Recollections), pearl gems  (K&Co), burst 3/4" punch (Fiskers), petite petals (McGill), medium branch punch (Martha Stewart), fanciful flourish pie (Cheery Lynn Designs), flower (Recollections), wrinkled ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon), Old Fashioned Olive embossing powder (SU), stylus.

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.
