Now, let me tell you about the projects I made.

 

First, I'd like to share my inspiration for today's projects.   The framed prayer on the left was made by my mother before I was born, making it over 45 years old.  The frame is quite beat up after making so many moves, but I won't ever replace it because it was made by her and she passed away when my daughter was 1 year old.  This hung by the crib for both of my children, and will be passed down too.  So, when I saw the "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" prayer in this set, I knew I wanted to make something inspired by this framed picture.  I made some ornate frames using Spellbinders dies, and included some Crosses from Spellbinders also.

Here's a close up of each framed sentiment in this set.  I used the following Spellbinders dies:  Resplendent Rectangles, Opulent Ovals and Cross Collection

I used Black Magic ColorCore Cardstock by Core'dinations for the frames and sanded them after diecutting.

I also inked up the cross, from Never Give Up, with Tea Dye (Ranger Distress Ink), stamped it off and then stamped it onto Vintage Cream Cardstock (PTI) for the background.  The sentiment panels are all ink distressed using Tea Dye Ranger Distress Ink.

 Here are the two stamp sets I used.

That's it from me today.  I'm the tail end of this hop, so head on over to the ODBD Blog next.

Thank you so much for dropping by!
Happy Stamping!
