Thank You for your Hospitality


I did some baking!!   What fun!!  I think I’m ready for fall, what do you think?  I made pound cakes and pumpkin bread and mmm, mmm, mmm,  the house smelled good, what a bonus!!  :-)  Can’t you tell, I was so excited with this months releases for Our Daily Bread Designs.  All the stamps are great but I did a cartwheel over one sentiment that I wish I’d had in my stash for years!!  Thank you for your hospitality!!  I use that phrase so often as an expression of thanks and honestly it means so much more than just a thank you.  When the The Living Bread set came out, I knew I would be able to use it for gift breads plus have a special thank you stamp for the tags.

There are a number of sentiments I could have used to label the bread from this months releases – you can check them out HERE.   I picked this one that I set up on double layers of Spellbinders Labels Eight plus a simple hang tag from Tags Five.  Perfect!!  Around my loaf of bread I bordered cardstock with Spellbinders Big Scalloped Border Grand.  The bread and the autumn colors have me longing for fall (and fall temperatures).

I made two additional hang tags using Labels Eight and Labels Four and created the loop from which to hang the tag by using the small round element from Spellbinders Lattice Pendants.
