Happy New Year with ODBD January Release 2015

Hello and welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs January 2015 Release!  Before I get into my projects for today, I would like to wish each and every one of you a very "Happy New Year, may God bless each and every one of you and your families beyond measure throughout this year!

Alright, let me start to share my first card with you all!  This month it was really hard to choose a stamp set, so many wonderful choices. For my first card I have chosen "Sing Thy Grace" and "Music Speaks".  I have to tell you, I am one of those people that gets touched by song, meaning, that when I hear Gospel music and the song touches me, I start crying like a baby! I suppose that is my way of praising God. To some it may song funny, but after those tears have dried up I feel a sense of peace. Anyhow, let me get to my card. So, I have used the above mentioned stamps and some amazing custom dies from previous releases and some ODBD paper from the Heart and Soul Collection

Never Stop Dancing

Paper: White, textured pink, DP ODBD Heart and Soul Collection

Stamps: ODBD Sing Thy Grace, Music Speaks

Inks: VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Angel Pink, Palette Moulin Rouge

Accessories: ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts, Fancy Foliage, Venise lace with hearts, WOC roses

This is my first card and to keep it moving, here is my second card for this fabulous release

Where Words Fail.....
