ODBDSLC273 Recipe Reminder

Good morning!

Our challenge is on going until May 1st 

So if you haven't submitted a card, you still have lots of time!!

The challenge is a recipe challenge.   The recipe is to use 4 items, materials or techniques beginning with each letter in ODBD.  

For example:

 O-Our Daily Bread Designs stamps

 D-daisies, dots

 B-bling, buttons, and bow

 D-diamonds, dog, double stitched
------------------------------------------------------

My card recipe is:

O=Ornamental Crosses

D=Dresden Quilt stamp

B=Buttons

D=Double Stitched Squares

ODBD stamps used: Dresden Quilt, Grace's Hope

ODBD dies used: Keys, Ornamental Crosses, Easter Eggs, Lovely Leaves, Filigree Frames, Double Stitched Squares, Squares

ODBD paper: Americana Quilts Collection, Fancy Folds-Tri-Fold Card

I used the pre-cut, pre-scored card from ODBD to make this Americana quilt card.  Adding decorative paper from the Americana Quilts Collection to each panel and my quilt to the square center panel worked perfectly!! I used the snall flowers from the Easter Egg die set along with the Lovely Leaves flourish to decorate the front and Added the Cross and Keys to the other inside center panels because Christ is the key!

My sentiment and ornate sentiment topper is from the recently release Anniversary sets in honor of Grace Nywening, our Design Team sister bread stick who is courageously battling cancer!!

The corduroy buttons were bought (I think Bo Bunny).  A few pearls were added as well to complete this card.

Good morning all!

ODBD stamps used: Elizabeth, Felicity, Quilts, Scripture Collection 7

ODBD dies used: Doily, Vintage Labels

ODBD paper used: Soulful Stitches Collection, Fun and Fancy Folds-Tri-Shutter card

This is one of Our Daily Bread Designs fun and fancy fold cards. I used the paper from this month's release, Soulful Stitches to cover the panels.  I made a doily with the doily die out of the paper as well and put it under the green dress. Each panel is machine stitched and I added threaded buttons to the upper left side and the lower right side.  The center has my sentiment and the upper and lower center has rick rack and ribbon bows. I hope this will inspire you to make a stitched card and join in the challenge.  To see more inspiration, please visit my very talented design team sisters,

Well, today I'd like to bring up some scripture that reminds me of putting on or taking off clothing, Colossians 3:12-16

"Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering (patience); bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."  Eph. 4:22 talks of putting off the "old man". 

All of this makes me think of the dirty rags we come to Christ with and how He gives us a brand new coat to put on...it is woven with threads of His character like kindness, goodness, patience, humility, peace, love, joy...you get the picture. It is the most beautiful coat, the threads look gold and pearlescent and copper and silver and sparkles like diamonds. This is the new life we have in Christ Jesus. He covers our dirty rags with His glorious coat.  That is what God sees when He looks at us who have given our lives to Christ, He only sees the glorious coat Christ gave us.  In other words, He sees the righteousness of Jesus because His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness and we have forgiveness from all our sin.  

I hope you belong to Him! If you don't and you want to know how to be part of the family of God, email me and I'll tell you more about it.
