Let's take a look back the the ODBD March 2016 release


Hello stamping friends! Today I am coming to you with a quick post and sweet little card that I have created for the "taking a look back post" for the Our Daily Bread Designs March 2016 release. March has been pretty busy for ODBD with the regular release and the Anniversary release and celebration. For my post today I have used the "Key to Happiness" stamp set and the "Keys" dies and also some other dies from previous release and the Anniversary release. For my card I was going through my stash of ODBD papers and looked for the perfect paper for this stamp and low and behold the perfect sheet was in the "Easter Card Collection 2016" pack, so here is what I came up with.


The Key To Heaven





Recipe:

Paper: White, Sky Blue, Certainly Celery, Lilac, True Black, DP ODBD Easter Card Collection 2016

Accessories: ODBD Custom dies Double Stitched Squares, Squares, Filigree Frames, Keys, Vintage Labels, Pretty Posies, Leavy Edged Borders, tulle, WOC flowers, flat back pearls

Hello and welcome to day 7 of Our Daily Bread Designs 8th Anniversary Celebration! For this post a bunch of us Bread Sticks are sharing three of our favorite cards of the past year and yes, I realize I made a mistake in the title, it needs to say 2015.....sorry! :D :D For my three cards I have chosen the following cards but I would like to let you all know that there will not be details in this post as these cards have been shown before and I will link to the original post of each card so you can get the details there, just click on the photo.



My first pick is this Easter card and I must say, I absolutely love how this one came together using the stamps  "Blessed Easter"  and "Eggs" dies from the March 2015 release


Wishing You A Blessed Easter




My second card is a card from my "Taking a look back at the July 2015 release" where I've used the "Fragrance" stamp set.

The Fragrance Always Stays




My last card is one that I have created for the November 2015 release and I absolutely love the dreaminess of it, if that is a word, lol! :)

Christ The Lord

Welcome to ODBD's 8th Anniversary Release Hop!

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs 8th Anniversary Release Hop! Goodness, I cannot believe it has been 8 years already that ODBD has opened it's doors to make amazing Christian themed stamps available. If you have been a follower of me for a while, you know that I love creating with scripture stamps, inspirational sentiments and quotes. So, with that said, I am always looking forward to ODBD releases, but especially to the Anniversary releases. Kelley and Rick, I pray that God will continue to bless ODBD beyond measure and that business will continue to grow for years to come! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be part of this wonderful company. Alright, let me get started with my first card for today's Anniversary release. I have chosen the stamp set called "Healing Prayers" for my two contributions and I have to tell you, that I am absolutely in love with the sentiments/prayers. I have far too many friends and family members that are going through a challenging time and I know for sure that I will get a lot of use out of each and every one of these stamps! You know that an ODBD release would be not the same without some amazing custom die sets as well, and I have used the two die sets "Filigree Frames" and "Lavish Layers", which by the way, fit each and every one of the released new stamp sets. See, another reason to love ODBD. :)

As you can probably tell from the title of my post this is for the Shining The Light Challenge # 271 and for this one "Anything ODBD goes". For me this was a no-brain-er as I love ODBD stamps, dies and papers, so I pulled out my very favorite Paper pack....."Shabby Rose Collection", the stamp I already had on my desk from my new release post...."Key to Happiness" and off course I had to use some dies, just because everything looks better with die cuts, lol. So I've pulled out some gorgeous dies which I will list below in the recipe. Here we go, have a look
