For my card I am using the newly released  
Chalkboard- Birthday and Thank You set.  I just love these new chalkboard sets.  I love that all I had to do to achieve the chalkboard look was ink the image with versa mark, black emboss, cut out, and attach to card.  The layered look and chalkboard effect are already done for you in the image design.  LOVE!  I actually stamped my image onto a very subtle paper patterned background. I finished with a stitched paneled background in some fun colorful patterns and topped it all off with a seam binding bow with button.

 For my card I am using the newly released set called Flowering Faith.   This set comes with some wonderfully designed sentiments and one solid  flowering image.   I decided to use one of the flourished FAITH sentiments today along with a layered Spellbinder's Blossom 3 flower die. 

I die cut the flower layers with this fun pattern paper, ink distressed each one and crinkled(technical term;)) them up a bit and added the wonderful FAITH sentiment attached with stick pins like a little pennant.  Love the carefree look and colors of this card.  Just like Faith.  Free! No worries!   To worry or to have faith?  It is a choice.  Great quote for sure!

For today, I am using the newly release set called Dreams!  I made two graduation cards.  One for a girl and one for a guy!  The exact same layout and stamp set, however, I used different colors and elements.

 For the girl's card, I used stitching, shimmery ribbon, soft pink memory thread with curly ques, and a prima flower to top it all off.  For the sentiment I used the dove stamped off in rose ink for a soft feminine feel.

For the guy's card, I did not use any stitching.  I, instead, went with some warm colors and patterns.  I finished with some frayed burlap ribbon and ivory twine with button.  For the sentiment, I used the olive branch stamped off at the top and the bottom to further emphasize a more manly design. 

Both cards use ODBD Custom Spellbinder's Elegant Ovals die.


As always thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed the hop!  Next up is the ODBD Blog!  Hop on over and answer the question for your chance to Win!

For the 4th Anniversary Release this year, I chose a quote.  This quote is part of the  ODBD Quote Collection 1 stamp sets. One of my favorite inspirational speakers/preachers is Joyce Meyer.   This quote really says it all when it comes to worry.  Worry is a useless action and a waste of time.  This quote reminds me to turn to God at all times and in all things.  Exercising my faith is a more worthy endeavor than senseless worrying.   I combined some older My Mind's Eye dp with some newer patterns.  Sort of mixing it up a bit.  I am also using a new 2012 Spellbinder's!  I also tucked in the background a new 2012 Impressabilities folder by Spellbinders!  Love these!  I thought the new frame looked great with one of my EK Success border punches.  I finished with a few prima flowers, seam binding bow and a few tiny gold pearls.

As always thanks so much for hopping by!
