Time To Blog Hop with ODBD December sets and play along with TIOT!

It's the first of the month and that means NEW STAMP SETS from Our Daily Bread designs!!! Along with the new releases is a BLOG HOP for you to enjoy and hopefully win blog candy! Grab a pen and paper because you'll need to jot down my secret word. Make sure you collect a word from each DT blog!

Now, if you've come to my blog from Angie Z. then you're in the right place! If not, you'll want to start off at the ODBD store blog where all the details will posted and the blogs listed in case you get lost along the way.

Two beautiful sets are available TODAY from ODBD and here they are in all their holiday glory!

His Gift:

Peace & Joy:
I decided to showcase the beautiful snowflakes from the Peace & Joy set using the Basic Grey Week 9 Challenge which was a sketch. The usual requirement is to use at lease one Basic Grey product and I thought my Opalines (I have ALL the colors) made terrific accents for the snowflakes!


The snowflakes stack nicely together for more dimension!

Here's what you'll need to do for a chance to win an ODBD stamp set of your choice (there will be two winners selected through Random.org):

1. Collect our names and the words we have which will form a special message to our hoppers.

2. Return to the ODBD blog and post a comment that you have commented on every blog and collected the secret message.

3. E-mail our DT Coordinator, Grace, with the secret message. You have until Dec. 2, 8PM EST.

Get ready to write this down...my SECRET WORD is "a". Simple, isn't it! Your next stop is over at the fabulously talented Silke. Wait 'til you see her beautiful card!

Today also happens to be TIOT with SCACD! This week's challenge was to create a gift box and I was fortunate enough to have this cute little gable box on hand, which I paired up with the super cute Santa and Friends stamp from the Victoria Case Winter Wonderland collection. My card is based on the MOJO115 sketch and Cuttlebug Spot Winter Theme challenge:

I ran my metal sheet through my Cuttlebug using the Sledding embossing folder. I then covered the metal sheet with Versamark and heat embossed with Pearlized Carnelian by Stampendous.


Be sure to stop by the rest of the SCACD DT blogs to see more fun boxes!
