Our Daily Bread Designs August Release Blog Hop


Hello everyone! Welcome to our August Release Blog Hop! We have been having fun playing with these sets and I know you will too! If you came from Lorelie'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 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 Sunday, August 1 through 8pm Eastern Monday, August 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 Tuesday, August 3rd on the ODBD Blog!


My card today uses Don't Worry.  I love the Chicory flowers and that beautiful butterfly.  I started by stamping the flowers three times on a 4x7 sheet of Neenah paper. Stamping it again three more times on another sheet of Neenah paper and cut out the flowers so that I was able to pop them up onto the base.  Sponging the corners and sides with Ranger Distress ink, coloring them with Copics, and adding a few bits of trim, ribbon and pearls finished it off.


Today's Blessing:  I am still counting my blessing from my wonderful trip to CHA.  Thank you Our Daily Bread Designs for this amazing adventure.  



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.

Randi
