Two Roads Diverged! Shining the Light, Announcements, and MORE!

Happy Sunday! I had a little time to spend in my crafty space today which is quite rare lately during the weekends. My dd is home from university so we had a Twilight Marathon Weekend! We literally watched all 5 movies back to back. I must admit there were a few snooze moments on my part. I think the kids have a couple of dozing pictures of me. Anyway, after what seems like a long time sitting and watching, I was ready to get crafty.

I made a card using ODBD Quote Collection 1 stamp set.
I kept my card some what simple. I am using the sketch from this week's Shining the Light Challenge145.

For my card I am using some MME designer papers. I stitched the panels and added a die cut frame and the sentiment to the center. I finished with seam binding bow and resin flower.

A few announcements!

Back with a card on Thursday for ODBD For the Love Hop!

Also, Saturday starts the ODBD 5th Anniversary Release Blog Hop! You are not going to want to miss all the wonderful Anniversary sets released! Hop starts at the ODBD blog at 8 sharp EST! Hope to see you hoping with us!
