Welcome to the January 2013 ODBD Release Day Blog Hop!!!

 Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs January 2013 Release Day Blog Hop!  

We are so excited to have you with us today and so grateful for your love and support of this wonderful company and all of the designers!  May this New Year be full of blessings 

for each and every one of you!  

Now on with the show!  

If you arrived here from the amazing Becca's Blog then you are in the right place!  If for some reason any of the links are broken along the way, just head back over to the ODBD Blog for a complete list of designers participating today.

The hop will run from 8am Jan 1 through 8pm Jan 2 EST.
Winners will be announced Jan 3.
 There are three prizes of $20.00 Gift Certificates and one Grand Prize of a $75.00 gift certificate toward stamps in the ODBD Store!

My first card today was so fun to make!  You know how I love getting my hands all dirty with inks and paint?  Well, I was a mess when I finished up this card! LOL!

The Prima paper made it easy.  Using two sheets of the same design, I was able to cut out the six rectangles to pop up and the little ovals too.  Each piece was messily painted along the edges.   The words are from the new Words of Faith set!  These words can be used for so many projects, and I am so excited about it!  Some of the rectangles have words lightly stamped in them.

 I used pearls and two styles of lace for embellishments.  The bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker using vintage crochet thread.  Along the lace edge I just twisted the same thread to create a rope. 

 I used Beacon 3-in-1 glue to glue it down so it would stay.  The tiny Spellbinders ovals are ODBD/Spellbinders Elegant Ovals, Spellbinders Labels 25, Beaded Ovals, and Lacy Ovals.

For my next two cards, I used the adorable Little Boys set!  

 

What a great set this is!  So precious! The card above only uses the adorable sentiment cut out and framed with Spellbinders Marvelous Squares and Labels 26.  I added hemp twine and a little wooden sailboat.  I found a great stash of little wooden thingies at a local thrift store recently!

This time I heat embossed the little boy image with white embossing powder and then sponged all around with Antique Linen distress ink.  I cut it out and framed it with Spellbinders Ovals and then embossed the Spellbinders Beaded Oval for another frame.  The sentiment is embossed and sponged and cut out with a Spellbinders Ribbon Banner.  The edges are sponged with vintage Photo ink.  I added two threaded buttons on the bottom corners to complete the card!

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!
