Happy Birthday Kelley!!!

Today is the birthday of Our Daily Bread Designs' owner,  Kelley.  We are celebrating with her by having a little blog hop with some of our dear fellow DT breadsticks.   We created cards using earlier sets.  I chose to use the set Fruit of the Spirit.  It is one of my favorites as it is easy to color with all the shading that is added.  I used my Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Gamsol to bring the image to life.  The checked paper is from DCWV and I thought it looked a little like a table cloth.   If you came from Sandee's Blog you are in the right place. If you just happened upon this hop and would like to see all the other creations then please start at Chrissy's Blog.

Happy Birthday Kelley, and may God bless you richly!

Today's Blessing:  I had such a wonderful time with my DS and his little family.  My grandkids are 3 and 4  and we spent every waking minute visiting apple orchards, pumpkins patches, Christmas shops, and stamping in the studio, of course!  Whew! I need a little more stamina for such a Granny marathon.  But what a blessing to be part of their little lives.

Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Fruit of the Spirit
Paper: DCWV; Stampin' Up
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol
Tools: Michael's Ribbon; Spellbinders Labels Eight and Ten; EK Success Punch

Your next stop in the hop is Connie's Blog.  I hope you had a wonderful time walking down memory lane with ODBD earlier stamps sets as much as we had making them.

Thanks for taking a look,
Randi

Hi Randi~

This is such a wonderful card! I love this image also! I immediately thought of a picnic when I saw your card. I saw the checkered paper as a tablecloth...and a basket of fruit! In my mind, it had to be a picnic!

I am so glad to know you are up and around and enjoying each moment that the Lord wants us here! Your family is so blessed to have you do these wonderful "autumn" events with them! They are just as blessed, as you feel to be with them! (I am SURE!)

Thank you for sharing this card with us!

He IS Able,
