Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs October Release Blog Hop! This month’s hop is all about the upcoming holidays: Christmas and Thanksgiving! We are excited to be sharing our projects with you today! If you got here from Julie’s blog then you are in the right place. If not you may want to peek at the list which is posted on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog so that you can start from the beginning.
This is my first Christmas card of the season, (I think), and I decided to go with non-traditional colors. I used the new O Christmas Tree Carol background stamp and a sentiment from the Perfect Gift. The music background is cut from Pergamano using Spellbinders™ Labels Seventeen. Over the edge of cut label I hung the flourish element from Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. Last I stamped the Christmas tree and overstamped it with a sentiment on Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Eight. Then I added bling and a bow to finish up.
Here are the basics of the Hop: The Hop will run 8:00am Oct. 1 to 8:00pm EDT Oct. 2. Winners will be announced Oct 3. There will be SIX prizes of your choice of one set!!!

Hi Becca! You certainly have been busy lately sharing with us your amazing talent! Christmas is my favorite holiday; remembering the reason for Christmas and being with family. Your card may not have the ‘traditional’ colors but it certainly is an eye-catcher. I really like the idea of stamping the sentiment on top of the Christmas tree and not above, below or to the side of it.
Hugs, Rhea
