Today I am popping in to share a card I created for the Anything goes with ODBD stamps challenge. I challenged myself to make a masculine card. I just love this tractor image!!

Today I am popping in to share a card I created for Christmas!! It is actually my last Christmas card of the year...I think...!
ODBD Stamps Used: Christmas pennant swag, Living Water

I had so much fun coloring up the Living Water image and adding all the snow and sparkle!! It has been a while since I did a different fold, so I went with a center step design!
Merry Christmas!!! May you have a blessed day as you celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!!

Hello Friends!! I pray this post finds you all well!! I don't know about you but I feel like I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off as I prepare for Christmas. It is such a joyous time of year but so busy also!
Today I am popping in to share a gift basket I made for my husband for Christmas. Since Scott is never online, I know it is safe to post here.
ODBD Stamps Used: Plough the fields, Elegant Embellishments
ODBD Dies Used: Antique Labels, Vintage Labels, Elegant Ovals
ODBD Paper Used: Christmas Collection 2013
The image is the perfect masculine image. My hubby worked on a farm when he was a teenager. His favorite tractor was always the John Deere. I had fun coloring it up!! The sentiment is from Elegant Embellishments and it is framed with an Elegant Ovals die in gold mirror cardstock. The image is first cut out with the Antique Labels die and then mounted on two layers of cardstock cut with a Vintage Labels die.
The basket/ box design is created with this tutorial By Beate Johns
Thanks for looking!! Have a blessed day!!

Hello, Friends!! I hope all is well!! I am sure many of you are scurrying around preparing for Christmas as am I. I can't believe Christmas is in just a few days. Where does the time go?!!!!
I just love this time of year with all the beautiful Christmas decorations within our house and seeing all the lights as you drive along the road. So festive. The lights just make you feel so warm, comforted, and happy.
Today I am popping in to share a card I created for the Shining the Light Winter Inspiration at ODBD. It is such a beautiful photo and it was such fun to create. I tried to look at something others may have missed such as the snowy branches and the blue flourished Merry Christmas.

ODBD Stamps Used: Snowflake Background
ODBD Dies Used: Merry Christmas, Small Bow, Lovely Leaves, Vintage Labels, Pinecones, Vintage Flourished Pattern, Fancy Foliage, Merry Mosaics
I decided to use the theme of the snow and blue as seen in the Merry Christmas sentiment and in the corner of the inspiration. The background is created with the Snowflake Background. The foliage is created with a variety of green cardstocks and the Fancy Foliage, Merry Mosaics, Pinecones, and Lovely Leaves. The sentiment is cut in blue using the Merry Christmas die and is framed with the Vintage Labels and Vintage Flourished Pattern (inside oval). The card itself shimmers with the outside glittered cardstock, glittered poinsettia and foliage. It is, unfortunately, not as noticeable in the photo.
Here is the Inspiration photo:

Hello Friends!! Today, the Bread Basket at ODBD is celebrating Christmas with a special Deck the Halls event. Some of the team will be sharing ornaments, gift packaging, tags and etc. for Christmas!! You won't want to miss it!! There will not only be lots of inspiration but also a $15 gift certificate toward stamps that can be won by one random winner. Some of the team are also offering an ornament or special gift to a random winner (you won't know who or where it is). You have until December 18 at 8pm EST to leave a comment on each of the participants blogs and on the ODBD post here.
ODBD Stamps Used: Peaceful deer, Christmas Pattern Ornaments
To make this ornament, I first colored the Peaceful Deer ornament and cut it out with the Double stitched Circles die. I created a frame with the Double Stitched Circles die and Circle Ornaments die with a blue layer and a glittered white card stock. Behind this frame is acetate cut in a circle layered on dimensional adhesive foam tape (sealed without holes) over top of the deer image. Beads are on the inside to make it a shaker. I then layered the image over a silver cardstock cut with the Double Stitched Circle dies and the Doily (cut out of navy).
The back of the ornament was created using this 3d Circle Christmas Ornament tutorial on SC that I wrote up. I only made half of the ornament and adhered it to the framed and layered deer image.

Hello, Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well. Christmas is just around the corner. I can't believe how fast time is going. It sure does not feel like that time of year here in Virginia. The temperature is in the 70's during the day. I sure hope that these mild temperatures now don't mean a harder or longer winter in the end.
Well on to my card for the day....
Have you lacked imagination for a masculine card? I sure do...I just love adding the details and to me masculine seems blah. This is a card I created for one of our customers at Etsy using the sketch at Our Daily Bread Designs for the Shining the Light challenge.
ODBD Stamps Used: Covered Bridge
ODBD Dies Used: Double Stitched Rectangles, Beautiful Borders, Double stitched circles, Circle Ornaments, Rectangle
ODBD Paper Used: Christmas Collection 2015
Embossing folder: Darice Snow swirled
What do you think? Does it look masculine enough or does the border added create a more feminine twist? I really love the added glitter for the snow more in real life in this photo. It looks like shimmering snow that has and icy crust.

Hello, Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!! The time just seems to be flying by and Christmas is now only a few weeks away!! ...and yes I am still working on getting all my Christmas cards sent out. It always seems like such a momentous task!
Today I would like to share a Christmas card I created using the new Living Water stamp set at ODBD and the colors from the ODBDSLC265 Color Challenge.
I had so much fun coloring this image up and adding lots of sparkle with my glamor dust. After coloring the image, I cut my image out with the new Double Stitched Circles matted on a black circle from the Circle Ornaments dies. The image is then layered on an embossed snowflake kraft panel die cut with the Vintage Labels die. It is a little more simplistic than a lot of my cards, but I really felt the image did not need a lot of added detail. The embossed Snowflake layer was perfect to add a more wintery feel. The panel along the bottom is cut with a Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace punch.
ODBD Stamps Used: Living Water
ODBD Dies Used: Vintage Labels, Double Stitched Circles, Circle Ornaments
Other: Darice Snowflake Swirl Embossing Folder, Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace (Around the page punch)
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters: Paula, Robin, and Diana!! To join the challenge, you can find more details here and can hook your creation to the linky at the bottom of the page. You have until Dec. 13 at 8 pm EST to link your creation.

My second creation uses the Safe Travels image and verse as well as the Rectangles dies, Double Stitched Rectangles dies, Vintage Flourish Pattern dies, Ovals dies, and Stitched Ovals dies.
