Happy Birthday Josh and Prizes!!

If you are looking for the Our Daily Bread Designs December Release Hop please scroll down one post.

Today Our Daily Bread Designs is having a special surprise birthday hop for Josh, the guy behind the scenes!  He works at the factory cutting, mounting, packaging, and shipping all your goodies.  Then when it is time for the shows Josh is there also. He does the heavy lifting while setting up and tearing down the booth. Sometimes he is also called on to drive the truck and trailer to and from shows. Then during the show Josh can be found at the cash register bagging all your goodies and chatting with customers. 

If you just happened upon my site and would like to see all the cards made for Josh please start at the ODBD Blog. If you came from Sabrina's Blog then you are in the right spot.

I have been especially blessed this year by volunteering at the shows and have gotten to know Josh. As I do the make and takes, Josh is there to answer any of my questions (he knows so much about product), brings me water, and stands in for me at break time. I love to watch him interact with the customers. His cheerful attitude is infectious. Here is another pic.  I think this is his GQ look.
I am blessed to have gotten to know Josh. When we were given this opportunity to surprise Josh I jumped at the chance to use this new stamp from the Blessings set.  I love singing this song and I do count my blessings. Josh is one of those blessings I count.  Happy Birthday Joshy!!! May God richly bless your life!
No surprise party is complete with out presents, right? 
Kelley has generously offered three $15.00 gift certificates to YOU!  
All you need to do is...

Deb Buckminster said...

Your tribute to Josh is just as special as the card you created for him!

Yours is the first card in the Bday Hop that is not overtly masculine, but each element is bold and "unfussy" -- just right for a fine young man!!

Chrissy D said...

Ohhh wonderful Flourish and Masculine card. I recently met Josh too and he is as sweet as can be! He had SO many nice things to say about you! Hope you have a BLESSED day - Happy Birthday Josh!

Pati said...

What a great card! Beautiful combo of red and grays, love those buttons! Josh looks like a bouncer in the one pic, serious & good looking. A stamp booth bouncer, how funny. : ) Very cool to hear he's taken care of you (and business) so well!

Cook22 said...

How lovely to see your on-the-job photos of Josh. And what a fab card, too - those understated colours are spot on , and the layout with the swirl and curve drew my in straight off.

Queen Mary said...

Randi, excellent card and thanks for the pic of Josh -- he's kinda cute! I have a very nice 22 year old daughter.... :) I do love the ornament and I too love that Spellbinders is working with ODBD!

Hi Randi~
