Christmas Blessings in July!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop!  
This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of ODBD Christmas sets! Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, check the ODBD blog for full list of links.  One of the posts is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.  So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!  You have until Wednesday, July 18th at 6 pm.   Enjoy all the festive inspiration using For the Love of ODBD Christmas sets!
I am your last stop, so if you arrived here from Lori's Lovely Blog, you are in the right place!  For my card today, I used the following:

I started by combining a couple of coordinating sheets of BoBunny Snowfall designer paper.  Then I stamped the Christmas Blessings sentiment and cut it out with a Spellbinders Oval.  Then I cut out a Spellbinders Floral Oval and stamped the Joy to the World Hymn on it.  I sponged the edges of each oval with distress ink and layered it over the lace and seam binding with foam tape.  I made a bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and then decided to cut the loops!  Then I just tied some hemp twine around it and glued the whole thing down with Beacon 3-in-1 glue.  The last little detail I added was a tiny bit of bling dotting the 'i' in Christmas!   

We want to thank you for joining us today!  
Now head back on over to the ODBD blog!  See you again soon!!!
