Gift set- ODBD Sneak Peek- Baking Tag Set

Happy Monday Everyone!! I am just popping in to share a fun and quick Christmas gift set.  I had high hopes of posting this earlier however I just got power and electric back after we lost it yet again.  The tag is created with the new Baking Tag Set from Our Daily Bread Designs released tomorrow.  This set did not require any coloring just some gold embossing.  The time factor was actually creating the blackberry jam and the relish.  Thought these would make a great gift item at Christmas.

Packaging ingredients:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Baking Tag Set
Ribbon: May Arts Pink Satin (on Blackberry jam), Gold metallic lace
dies: Spellbinders Petite Large and small oval dies, ODBD Tag die
designer Paper: Stampin Up Holiday

Happy Sunday All!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!!  It has really changed a lot in a week's time from a Fall weekend to SNOW!!! Yuck! The poor trees have not even lost their leaves and now the snow is on them.  The branches are sagging from the weight. 

*Edited to include*-  Well we just got our power back after losing it last night.  It really is incredible the amount of snow we got....over 13 inches!!! Yikes!! So Pretty but yet so destructive.  So many trees have broken branches.  With all the snow, we will never know the amount of destruction.

 


Today it is time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge.  This week's hostess is the sweet and talented Lisa!!


Lisa has chose the verse:


Isaiah 1:18 "'Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.


As winter approaches and the holidays creep closer, I often wonder how many realize that this verse is the crux of the Christmas season.  If you think about the colors, red, green and white, what do they mean?  The red stands for our sins that is paid with Christ's blood.  While our sins leave a stain, Christ's blood washes them away like pure snow.  What a gift of Grace!!!!  We don't earn Grace but although unworthy, He has given us the gift of GRACE!  The green stands for everlasting life.  If you believe in Christ as Savior and what He has done for you on the cross, dying for you and taking all your sins away, then you shall have everlasting life.  What joy!!  Is there a greater gift?  We have no fear of tomorrow as a Christian.  Yes, our lives will have our ups and downs and maybe more downs than ups but Christ made it possible for us to have Eternal life (yes we will die from our earthly lives but we have the opportunity to live forever in our heavenly home with Jesus who loves us even more than we love ourselves).  Through the ups and downs, God promises to stay with us!  Is there any greater comfort?


Lisa's challenge:
Use fall colors in your creation: crimson, orange and gold (or similar)  


Here is my take on the challenge using a sneak peek from Our Daily Bread Designs: Winter Wishes.  While this set is primarily Christmas with an adorable snowman, this set has this beautiful verse which I felt is appropriate for this verse, Thanksgiving, Christmas or anytime of year. The lace is from my stash, and I used Spellbinder's Ornate Artisian Tags & Accents for my sentiment panel layered on Fleur De Lis Rectangles.  The flowers are punched from a small and large hydrangea punch from Martha Stewart. I created the flowers using a tutorial from my dear friend Pat Smethers.  You can find her tutorial here.  The Neenah White paper is embossed with a Cuttlebug Leaf folder and then sewn.

I hope you enjoyed my creation.

Be sure to check out  Linda's devotional on the SSIC Blog, as I know you'll be blessed!

Happy Saturday all!!  I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful weekend!!  Today is going to be busy but fun.  We have a realtor this morning and then we hope to have a family day, playing board games with the girls for a Fall Party.  Since we have put our house on the market, we have been preoccupied/absorbed with it.  This weekend is about the kids. The forecast is predicting a large accumulation of snow.


Anywho....

Happy Hump Day all!! 


 Today the bread basket at Our Daily Bread Designs has a special event in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness!!  Kelley has created a special set called Prayer For a Cure in honor of the many who have been affected by this disease. Many have us know one or more cancer survivors, know someone who is going through treatment now, or some of you have lost a loved one in the past.  A portion of the proceeds from sales of this new stamp set sold during October will be donated to the American Cancer Society.


Also....
The new "Praying for a Cure" set has been "bundled" with the previously released "Hope" set....purchase both sets and save 10%. Both of these sets offer encouraging sentiments and scripture to help lift up those in need, not only in regards to cancer, but for any trial in which God's comfort and safety is needed.

 All through this month, many wonderful stampers have stepped in and contributed hand-made cards to those in need of love and encouragement. Our Daily Bread Designs is one of many sponsors for the Splitcoaststampers second annual Hope You Can Cling To card drive to benefit those affected by breast cancer. Make sure to check out the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge Forums. There are daily challenges and many prizes given away by the many generous sponsors. You can even win one of the 5 $50 gift certificates to the ODBD store!!




The "Breadsticks" listed below have created samples using the new "Praying for a Cure" set. Please visit each of the ladies below, leave a comment for each, and return to this post to let us know that you have visited them all. There will be three commenters selected to win a $20 gift certificate each from Our Daily Bread designs. You have until Thursday, October 27 at 8pm EDT to leave your comments. The winners will be announced Friday morning on the Flashback Friday Favorites post.
