~ Come and Behold Him ~

So here we are at the beginning of another work week.  It is hard to believe that Monday is already here!  And I noticed over the last few days my favorite "movie" channel advertising a countdown to Christmas!!!  Can it be?  Are we really that close to the most wonderful time of the year????  

If my craft room is any indication, YES!!!  I have stacks of Christmas papers, stamps and dies just waiting to be put to good use!  So over the coming weeks, I plan on rolling out a plethora of projects for your enjoyment!  *** At least, I hope you enjoy them ***  :-)

Here is a special center step card featuring Our Daily Bread Designs' 

stamp set, Our Savior's Birth...

I started with a Kraft Card Stock base and added white CS for the matting...

ODBD and Cardmaker Blog Hop!

 Welcome!  Thank you so very much for stopping by!  I am so excited to be a part of today's Our Daily Bread Designs and CardMaker hop!  For today's hop we are taking a look at some of ODBD's Christmas stamps, dies and papers.  I couldn't wait to go through my stash and make another Christmas card for my stash.  For this project I used ODBD's Christmas Tunes stamp set...

I started with a rich burgundy base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I slightly smaller gold card stock mat frames the distressed designer paper from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I added a gold rectangular die cut (Double Stitched Rectangles Die) and a curved sentiment (Christmas Tunes) panel created with the Leafy Edged Borders Die.  A paper poinsettia created with ODBD's Peaceful Poinsettias Die and greenery (Fancy Foliage Lovely Leaves Die sets) finish the spray.  I love the contrast of the formal gold card stock with the distressed DP...    

So here are some of the Christmas items you see today...

and some other ODBD products you see...

I hope you are having fun perusing all of the lovely projects featuring Our Daily Bread Design's products.  Your next stop on today's hop is the lovely Gina Williams Cagle.  Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
