Our Daily Bread Designs July Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Welcome to our July Release Blog Hop! We have been having fun playing with these sets and I know you will too! If you came from Julie's Blog you are in the right spot.  If you would like to participate in the entire hop then please start at the beginning by going to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog.  If at any time the hop becomes broken then simply return to the ODBD blog where the entire participants are listed in order, you can go on to the next person, and check back later for the missing one.  Here in the USA, this is a big holiday weekend and I know many are busy with company and family events, so we're going to keep the hop real simple! There are no secret words to collect, no email to send to Grace... just a fun blog hop!

Here is what you have to do to be eligible to win one of the prizes:
  • Hop to each blog, leave a comment on each one.
  • Return here to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog and leave a comment there telling us that you completed the hop and left everyone comments.
  • If for any reason you cannot leave a comment, please give us the name/s of the designers you were unable to leave comments for... and you'll still be qualified for the drawing.

Here's the fun part! There are THREE prizes and WINNERS WILL RECEIVE THEIR CHOICE OF ONE FREE SET, but they are hidden on three different designer's blogs! You won't know who has the prizes!

The Blog Hop will run from 8am Eastern on Thursday, July1 through 8pm Eastern Friday, July 2.  At that time the three designers with the prizes will randomly select their winner from their commenters. They will check the Our Daily Bread Designs blog to be sure the person they draw has left their comment there, stating that they have completed the hop.... and then they will give Grace the winner's name and the winners will be announced on Sat. the 3rd on the ODBD Blog!
My card today is using The Living Bread set. There are four new sets that Our Daily Bread Designs released this month. I love every one of them and you can bet that I will be inking them up ASAP. I stamped the wonderful wheat cross, LOVE IT, with SU Apricot Appeal. Using Memento Rich Cocoa ink I stamped over the cross creating a focal image onto SU Apricot Appeal card stock and then popped it up over rectangles of Kioshi paper. I bought this yummy ribbon at Jo-Ann's some time ago because it reminds me of orange sherbet push ups that I had as a child.  I hope you like my card as much as I loved making it!

Today's Blessing: Hi, to all those devoted Our Daily Bread Designs gals that I met at the Chantilly show.  I feel so blessed to be able to meet you and make a card with new friends.  What a blast!
Time now to continue on the hop by visiting our delightful teamie Debi.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and don't forget to leave a comment so that you are in the running for one of the three free stamp sets given out just for this hop.

I am loving the beautiful colour of Apricot Randi...so warm and welcoming. The verse is a favourite and looks fabulous on your card with the stamped wheat in the background. What size is your card? It looks quite big in your picture......do you use the same size all the time?
Kind Regards

The soft colors you used were really great--I had to do a double take on the cross because it blended in so well I missed it the first time--so like the world who misses what Christ did for us. :(

I love the colour combination. I don't usually like orange, but I love how you've paired it with the brown. And the punch is way cool!! I haven't seen it yet in Canada, probably because it's sold out every time I hit Michaels.

Another gorgeous card Randi! I am loving that apricot ribbon and color scheme here! And .. OH, no wonder... I was going to say that border punch reminds me of the top of a fancy fence so I had to look to see what it was called and who by... IRON GATE PUNCH! Perfecto mundo! =)
