Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs “May Day” Blog Hop!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Our Daily Bread designs May Release Blog Hop! The hop will run from May 1 through Monday, May 3 at 8PM Eastern Time. The winners will be announced on the ODBD blog on Tues. May 4.

Here are the NEWLY RELEASED SETS:

So for our hop, you are going to collect flowers from each designer to fill your May basket! If you got here from Connie’s Blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to go to the ODBD Blog and start from there so you don't miss anyone!

There will be three winners for this hop. Each winner will receive a $15.00 store credit toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread designs store!
Here is what you need to do to qualify to win:
1. Hop from blog to blog, leaving a comment and collecting the flower that designer is giving away.
2. Return to the ODBD blog and leave a comment that you completed the hop and left comments for each designer. If you were unable to leave a comment for any one, just state their name in the comment and you will still be entered into the drawing. This is meant to be fun, not stressful.
3. Send Grace an email at gnywening@yahoo.com giving her the names of the designers and the flowers you collected.
If for any reason you get lost along the way, just return to the ODBD Blog for the list of names.

Now on to my card details:

Many will be graduating in June and ODBD’s two new graduation sets are a welcome add-on to your stamp collection to make those special cards and projects for your graduate! I used the As Your Graduate set for my ensemble:

The little graduation cap pop is made up of a miniature Reese’s peanut butter cup, a peanut butter Ghirardelli square, a strip from an Airhead Xtreme candy and a star candy sprinkle. My son wants me to make these for his classmates at the end of the year. I can’t believe he’ll be in middle school next year! I wish I could say that it was all my idea, but it’s from a fabulous site called Bakerella. Go check it out!

From here you will hop to Deb’s Blog, but before you leave, here is the flower I'm giving you:

MARIGOLDS
