The team challenges you to create a card using something new and something old on your card.

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, January 13th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC91.

Now on to my take for the challenge:

My new items are the stamp set Never Give up and it's matching Cross image and die as well as the designer paper.  My old items are my all time favorite colors, old distressing techniques and the ribbon.

Paper: SU chocolate chip, basic black, crumb cake, very vanilla

Love how your layout makes the image and the Verse be the focus of your card - awesome BG papers and ribbon merely accentuate the message - just a very touching and inspirational card! Don't know how you keep up with everything, but you are doing an awesome job! Hugs from Sue!
