ODBD Designers Flower Hunt Game


We are celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Our Daily Bread designs!  All this week we have special events going on over on the ODBD Blog, so be sure to check them out!  Today we have something that we hope will be pure fun for all! One Dozen of the Bread Sticks have baked up a special game for you! We decided to shower ODBD with a bouquet of flowers, since flowers are one of the traditional gifts for a 4th anniversary. You will be collecting these flowers along the way, and creating a beautiful bouquet for Kelley and all of Our Daily Bread designs!

We each have created a special card or project using at least one of our own personal ALL TIME FAVORITE ODBD sets. SIX of us will also have a special blog button with a special flower on it! Look for it in the designer's side bars of their blogs.

To play the game:

  • Visit each designer listed below
  •  Leave a comment 
  • Keep a list of each designer who has a special flower blog button.  Write down the designer's name and the name of the flower they have.  
  • When you have visited all 12, left comments and found the 6 flowers, send an email to Grace at gnywening@yahoo.comSimply name the 6 designers who had the flowers and the flower they had.  
  • Winners will be chosen randomly from all who email Grace with their list by 9:00pm EST Mar. 15th!
 

Now on to my project details:



For my project today, I used........

Stamps - ODBD - Blessed Christmas
Paper - Echo Park - Country Drive, Colorbok, Bazzill, Neenah Solar Crest
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic - R20, R21, YG06, YG17, YG67
Stickles - Diamond
Flower Soft - Autumn mix (yellow only)
Pearls - Recollections
Lace - Simplicity
Ribbon - Offray

Paper Punch

Grace asked us to list our FOUR ALL TIME FAVORITE ODBD sets, and to use at least one on our project today.  How can I possibly just choose 4? 

Here are my four favorites:

Blessed Christmas - I love Christmas time! And this set is one I pull out every year. It doesn't matter if you color it in traditional reds or non traditional pinks like I did today. This image is elegant no matter what!
On Eagles' Wings - This set is the very first ODBD set I purchased! It started my love of anything ODBD. The scripture is one of my husband's favorites. And did I mention he loves eagles?
Joy to the World Hymn - This is one of my favorite songs to sing at Christmas! I love how this stamps lets me incorporate music into any project!
You Will Find Refuge - My husband is not the only one in the family who loves birds! My favorite is the happy little chickadee. This image is another one I keep returning to. 

I can't believe I had to pick four! They are all my favs!

(Now, I'll send you on your way.  Here are the dozen bread sticks in the bread basket today:

Hi Lori~

This is a beautiful card. I love the soft pink. The flower is colored beautifully. I think the touch of yellow Flower Soft is so creative. The white die cut behind the flower is so pretty and delicate...and I love the lace under it, along with the bow and pearls. So feminine. A pleasant change from the bright Christmas Cards.
