New Pennant Stamps at Our Daily Bread Designs!

Welcome!  Can you believe it is Monday already?  Normally, Monday's are not the day I would define as exciting...  HOWEVER, this one most certainly is!  Because...  DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

Our Daily Bread Designs' 

has a special mid month release!!!!

Yep... you heard that right!  A very special new Pennant Swag Solid Alphabet  stamp set is available!  And the best part???  It coordinates with ODBD's Pennant Swag Die!

Now that's the kind of news to make my Monday morning!

Here's my project using the new stamp set along with the coordinating die...

 

and the Pennant Swag Solid Alphabet set...  

(our special mid month release...)

I started with a white card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a bright yellow mat.  I used ODBD's Sunburst Background Die to create a background, inking all exposed areas with Memento Cantaloupe and Dandelion inks.  I found a scrap piece of Kraft paper and used ODBD's Fence Die to cut my border.  A bit of green CS along with ODBD's Grass Border Die peek out from behind the fence.  I positioned my stamps using the die and after stamping die cut the banner.  A couple of Kraft birds (Birdcage and Banner Die) seem to be sneaking off with my banner.  :-)  

I tucked a few die cut clouds  from the Cloud and Raindrops Die 

over my sun.  

I just love the versatility of this stamp set!  I must tell you positioning these stamps is SUPER easy!  

***Just check out this VIDEO by Lisa Somerville

 showing you just how easy they are to work with!***

ODBD ~ Hello Sunshine ~

Its time to start a new week.  I certainly hope the sun is shining where you are.  If not, I have a project that just might bring a bit of sunshine into your day!  I'm blessed to be working with some of the new items from Our Daily Bread Designs'.

Grab your sunscreen!  ;-)

 I started with a 5.5 by 4.25 inch white card stock base and added a rich yellow mat.  I used ODBD's Sunburst Background Die to cut my focal layer and then used a sponge dauber and Memento's Canteloupe pigment ink to color the rays and sun.  After removing the die I stamped the sunshine's face (ODBD's Hello Sunshine set) and added a touch of Memento's Angel Pink ink to each "cheek."  I grabbed some white CS scraps and used the Clouds and Raindrops Die to create my clouds and then stamped the sentiment (from the Hello Sunshine set also) on one.  I added my clouds with dimensional foam.  

So here are some of the new items I used today...

and an oldie but goodie...

I certainly hope you are making the most of this Monday.  Here's to fresh starts and new beginnings!  And a bit of sunshine in each and EVERY day!!!

  Thanks for following along!  

Blessings....

ODBD ~ His Mercy Rains ~

And aren't we glad His mercy rains?  Without His mercy, we would be lost.  Its difficult to keep proper perspective sometimes.  With the chaos of life (do I hear an Amen or two), we can forget just how blessed we are.  I am humbled to know that He sent his son to die for my sins.  I imagine someday that God will show me the "highlights" of my life and I will find myself woefully short.  I imagine that I will fall to my knees in shame and regret.  It is at that moment that Jesus will step forward and say, "Father, her sins are paid for.  I took the punishment in her place."  It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.  Thank God, our Savior, MY Savior shed His blood for me.  His mercy does indeed rain!  

Blessings...
