A Sneak peek....O Holy Night

8:17 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello friends!! I only have a few minutes before running out to work for the day but I wanted to share one of the fabulous new releases that is to come on Saturday!! You won't want to miss all the fantastic stamps and dies to come!!

Sorry for the brief post but life has been CRAZY for me as of late. Yikes!

Here is a sample created with the Joys of the Season stamp set, O Holy Night dies and the Merry Christmas Border die as well as the Christmas Card Collection 2016 from Our Daily Bread Designs.

In addition to the new items to come, the ODBD circle die, Pierced Circles dies, Pierced Rectangles, Rectangles dies, and Double Stitched Rectangles were used.

As we look at the news each day, it just seems that there is disaster after disaster. Tragedies, homicides, natural disasters, disputes, and the list goes on and on. So thankful for the Hope I have in God alone!!!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

I know where my hope is. Do you?

Have a great day!! Hope to see you for the new release on Saturday!!

Thanks for your views and comments. They are so appreciated.

ODBDSLC278 Fall Thank you

6:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!! I can't believe how the month of September is flying by. It already almost the end of the month and the beginning of fall.

With Fall just around the corner, I would like to share a Fall Thank you card I created. I used the Shining the Light Challenge Dots and/or Dashes challenge (ODBDSLC278). The image and sentiment is from the Season's Change stamp set. The wheelbarrow was die cut with the Wheelbarrow die and layered on the Fence die. The grass is created with the Grass Lawn die and Grass Hill Die. The sentiment is die cut with the Layered Lacey Ovals. The designer paper is using the Ephemera 6x6 Paper Collection.
