If you are looking for the Papertake Weekly blog hop please scroll down one post. Welcome to Kelley's, the owner and creator of Our Daily Bread Designs , birthday celebration.  The Breadsticks have gotten together once again to honor our fearless leader with a blog hop just for her.  So if you came from Angie's blog then you are in the right place, if you didn't you may want to pop over the Our Daily Bread Designs blo g and start the hop at the beginning. Grace thought it would be a great idea to make her some fresh samples with some of the older sets so I pulled out one of my all time favorites, "Keep My Lamp Burning".   Once again my card is fairly simple.  I masked the light house and added color by sponging.  I added a bit of ribbon and a bunch of black brads and just a pop of red to keep things interesting. Now it is time to you to hop over to Julie's blog and check out what loveliness she has to share.  Then on to visit Chris and Sabrina . Wh

Hello everyone.  It is always a pleasure to take my turn at the "Time with" post on the Our Daily Bread Designs blog and today is my day.  I decided to go for simple this time since usually I try to do something elaborate but I really needed a man card for a friend that is going through a tough time.  And the new  Wood background  stamp and  Pray  stamp set seemed to be a perfect choice to combine together to make a simple man card.
