Oops…stop…hold on!  There has been a change of plans. 

 

  

 

Do you remember not so long ago I told you I was going to be the guest designer for Our Daily Bread Designs from August 15 to September 15?   Well, that plan was scrapped.  Sigh….my first Guest Designer gig and I was primed to go the distance…sigh.  Oh, the cards that I was gonna make…all the stamping I was gonna do…packing a lifetime into a month, and then a change of plans. 

 

 

 

 Oh well, I guess I’ll have to make those cards as a . . .

 

. . .Member of the Our Daily Bread Design Team!!!!  He…he…had ya goin’!  Yep, I’ll be staying on as a part of the Design Team and I am so blessed by this opportunity – read all about it HERE!!  I truly love ODBD stamps!  It’s an amazing feeling to be able to spend  time doing what I love and at the same time creating a piece that gives glory to God, it is a labor of love.

Stay tuned….there’s lots of exciting stuff to come to Our Daily Bread Designs – new releases, extraordinary Guest Designers and more!  I’m just so thankful that I can be a part of it all.  If you haven’t been there yet, click on over and check it out!!

I had another project I had not shared featuring paper from the Hope Packs available at Our Daily Bread Designs.  This project is a picture carousel with a removable lid for storing items.  I used two of the verses from the Hope set that made their debut with Our Daily Bread Designs  this month.  The carousel can be used as it is now, or the inserts can be removed as pictures are added.  This was an alterable that I had on hand that I wanted to use, the right occasion or project had not come along.  When I saw the paper in the Hope Pack, I knew I had enough to get the carousel covered and it would be perfect along with the other pink accessories I showed earlier.

Getting the carousel covered was an easy adventure.  First I painted on two coats of gesso then I cut all the papers to size (lucky me, the inside of the frames could be cut with a square nestie).  The papers were all glued down and topcoated with Art Quest Perfect Paper Adhesive (Matte) which I purchased at Michaels, it is very similar to Modge Podge.   Using nesties I cut the two verses and finished up with flowers, brads and ribbon. 

This is the first month that I’ve really ever delved into alterables.  It’s always at the bottom of the list because there’s always seems to be something else I need that is not in my stash.   No so with these recent projects…I’ll be more apt to do similar things in the future because it was sure easier than I thought.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper:  Available in Our Daily Bread Design – Hope Pack
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk – Rouge
Accessories:  Gesso, Ribbon, Fflowers, Brads, Nesties, Perfect Paper Adhesive (Matte) or Modge Podge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow! How sweet you are!  I am pretty sure that I have left at least five comments because I love all your cards!  Each one is just awesome and just when I think they can’t get any awesomer- they do :D!  Your blog is on my ‘check daily’ list and I am NEVER disappointed when I come here.

    WHAT?!?! I missed the blog candy post?!? Dang vacation. LOL.

    I don’t know how we found each other Becca. I just know that I loved every single thing you created from the moment I laid eyes on your cards. Over 100K since Feb??!! Wow, that is beyond incredible. But I am not surprised. Only someone without any good taste wouldn’t want to visit your amazing blog.

    Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.ReplyCancel
