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...

ODBD ~ Tis Grace ~

Good morning! So glad you could stop by for a few moments! Today I have a card to share using Our Daily Bread Designs' recent stamp release, How Sweet the Sound. I highlighted the sentiment with some new lacey squares complements of ODBD's Layered Lacey Squares Die.

I started with an ecru card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a slightly smaller aqua mat. I chose a DP watercolor print and added a band of matching bohemian DP edged with die cut lace (Beautiful Borders Die) and a bit of vanilla hued seam binding. I stamped the sentiment on ecru card stock with an ombre ink pad and used the new Layered Lacey Squares Die to frame it and a coordinating die from the same set to cut out a lovely gold base (from gold poster board). The new Umbrellas Die adds a touch of whimsy in the corner. The umbrellas consists of an aqua CS base with coordinating DP and ecru "sections."

So here are the items you see today...

Be sure to stop back by later this week to see more fabulous projects made with this fun release! Praying you have a wonderful day!

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' April Release

Welcome friends! I'm so glad you could join us today for a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' April release. As I type this post, rain is covering the Bluegrass state. I pray that what they say about April showers bringing May flower is true! Hopefully, they will be nice and pretty just in time for Derby day! In the meantime, while we wait on those lovely blossoms to make their appearance, we can appease ourselves with lovely paper posies. Here is the card I created for our look back using the new How Sweet the Sound stamp set along with a couple of new dies, Layered Lacey Squares and Umbrellas. There are a host of other ODBD products you see here also. You can find a complete list at the bottom of today's post. For more inspiration using the April Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog. But before you peruse all of the Sister Sticks projects, take a look at this shabby creation...

I started with a 5.25 x 5.25 sage green card stock base and added a slightly smaller white CS (card stock) mat. I selected a couple of soft and shabby papers from ODBD's Shabby Rose Paper Collection and added just a hint of distress ink around the edges. After layering those together, I pulled out my ODBD die, Beautiful Borders, to create the faux lace with white card stock. I added a beautiful die from the new Layered Lacey Squares Die on the left hand side and layered up a die cut umbrella (Umbrellas Die) with Kraft paper and some Shabby Rose scraps. I added a few springs of greenery and branches (Fancy Foliage Die) and a lovely blossom created with the Asters and Leaves Die. A large adhesive backed pearl graces the center along with a fun pearl flourish strategically placed among the foliage. I stamped the sentiment (How Sweet the Sound) in a soft sage ink on white card stock and used ODBD's Pennant Die to frame it. A few random pearls on the faux lace finish this gem off!

I just love soft and shabby!
