Draw Water from the Wells ...

Good SONday evening, friends!  I had a few free moments this evening to whip up a card :)  My motto last year was "use what ya got!" and try to use some of the items in my crafting Cabana.  I found that when I went "shopping", it was often in my own craft room and I was amazed at the things I had on hand to play with!  It was such a successful year that I am keeping that same motto this year, too :)  And one of my treasured and favorite stamp companies for many reasons is Our Daily Bread so what a treat to get inky and play with papers and buttons and make a much needed card at the same time :)



For this card, I used the sentiment stamp from the Never Thirst set.  I can't wait to ink up the rest of this set!  But for now, I just used the sentiment so that I can play along with a challenge at SCS for scripture sentiment cards, and enter this in ODB challenge:  "In with the new....out with the Old"
The team challenges you to create a card using something new and something old on your card.  I've used several elements on the card that are older - the sentiment, crinkle ribbon, the Tattered Angel spray ... something new, this MME mat stack Lost and Found paper :) 

This card is entered into:  Our Daily Bread designs: Old/New
                                     Crazy 4 Challenges:  Something New
 
Thanks for stopping by today!
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!
