Week 3 {ODBDLYLS1} Scrapbook Challenge

Welcome to Week 3 of scrappy inspiration for our first Let Your Light Shine Scrapbook Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs! Our challenge for you this month is to create a scrapbook page with this sketch:
This sketch can be used for any page size, and you can add as many or as few embellishments as you want. Use your creative imagination. Have you thought about flipping the sketch or using more than one photo? Why don't you try it!!

For my 8x8 page today, I decided to use 3 photos instead of one! I also used four stamp sets from ODBD! Here is what I did with each set. I stamped the Small Butterfly Background onto the brown paper with embossing ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. It makes a beautiful background without being too much. I then used the Large Butterfly Background to just cut out a few of the butterflies and then covered each one in Glossy Accents. It is so fun to use parts of a background stamp as an individual stamp! Have you ever tried that? The verse I used is from the For the Graduate set, and I cut out even more butterflies from the Faith set. I hope you will try thinking 'out of the box' as you use stamps on your scrapbook pages!

The photos are of one of my daughters. She rides her bike with me at 7 a.m. each morning on the beach when we go home. We have a special spot where we have prayer time, and there is just nothing like it! Such a blessing!!!! Here is how my page turned out:
