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?

Now on to my project! 

I started with Our Daily Bread Designs new Blessings set and paired it with Memory Box Tinsel Paper.  The question is.... Is it a Christmas card or just a praise card? I don't really know myself as I was listening to Christmas music and singing the Doxology.  Perhaps it's a new card category... Christmas Fusion. (wink) The paper was a little bright for the lace so I toned it down with Ranger Distress Inks Bundled Sage and Old Paper.  Adding that combination again to the sentiment and popping it up onto a bed of pearls created a focal.  Finally, placing a snowflake and bird sticker completed my "Christmas Fusion". 
Today's Blessing: This blessing is not mine directly but of Our Daily Bread Designs. Below is a copy of the announcement that was on the ODBD blog at Thanksgiving.  May God continue to bless this company!!!
Our Daily Bread designs is so proud and pleased to be chosen by the Spellbinders company as a Preferred Stamp Partner. Our partnership with Spellbinders will be a blessing to the stamping community as well, as we expand our line to include perfect-matched sentiments, scriptures and images to Spellbinders products. We look forward to a long and blessed partnership with such a fine product as Spellbinders.
