Hello all!  I hope you had a great weekend.  I know I did.  Between all those before work household chores this morning I managed to sneak in a little stamping time so I could share a sneak peek of one of tomorrows new Our Daily Bread Designs releases with you.  This set is called Eternity and I think it is going to be a favorite!  Now you know I love, love, love my new Grand Caliber and all my Spellbinders dies so what could be better then that?  How about a set of dies made especially just for Our Daily Bread Designs ?  And a matching stamp set!!!  I thought you would like that! Now tomorrow is the new release blog hop so make sure you pop over to the ODBD blog in the morning and get all the details... I did this card for a couple of challenges.  The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge which was to use 3 buttons and the Mojo Monday sketch , tho I mangled it just a bit. What I used: Our Daily Bread Designs Eternity SU crumb cake, basic black and cherry cobbler card stock P

Hello everyone.  I worked the mid-shift today so I found a bit of playtime this morning and time to share this evening.  I was intrigued by the SplitCoastStamper Technique Lover's challenge (aka try a new technique) today which was to create a Bargello Design.  I used some Basic Grey scraps to make my background then layered it up with a classic circle and a lacy circle created with my Grand Caliber and a couple of my favorite Nestabilities .  If you look very carefully you will notice that my soft sky circle has the ODBD Fish background on it and the lovely verse of from the ODBD Anchor stamp set .  My layout is inspired by the CPS sketch and the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge. What I used: Our Daily Bread Designs Anchor and Fish background SU soft sky, whisper white and early espresso card stock Basic Grey Marjolaine designer paper SU soft sky, early espresso classic  and Ranger brushed corduroy stamp pads Grand Caliber and Spellbinders Nestabilities dark

The hop will run from 8:00am Tuesday, the first until 8:00pm Wednesday, the second.  Kelley is giving away 6 fabulous prizes this month!  Winners will be announced on the ODBD blog .  To be eligible you need to visit each of the designers blog and leave them a comment, then return to the ODBD blog to tell us that you completed the hop and to answer the question.   For my card I chose to use what I think may be my favorite of this new release, "Anchor" .  I love the image and spent an entire evening experimenting with different ways to color it.  On this image I combined color with markers, sponging and a bit of white gel pen.  I th
