ODBD BLOG HOP featuring the new October Sets!!!

Happy October 1st!!!

Oh - how I love this month.....it's my birth month!!! Okay - I'm a little bias...he,he,he!!! There will be sooooo much stuff fun going on this month....so stay tuned :)!!!

But first I would like to share some cards from the new Our Daily Bread Design Release today!!! The DT is holding a BLOG HOP in order to show off the newest October Sets!!!

Just in case you started at my blog first....please go back and start at the ODBD Blog.....and if you are coming from Betty's blog then you are right on track!!!

My first card was created with the beautiful *With Deepest Sympathy* Set.
















I used the layout from this past Saturday's SFYTT Sketch. I flipped it to fit the new image.

The image itself was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. I decorated the card with Large Copper Brads, a Jumbo Copper Eyelet and a Chocolate Chip Twill Ribbon.

**********************************************

Next is a card was created with the new *With Heartfelt Sympathy* Set.




















I used the *monochromatic* look from the OCCC this past weekend.

The colors are White and Soft Suede. I again added some Copper Hardware.

*******************************************

My last card is a CAS style........I used the new *Praying for You* Set.




















As you can tell I only used White CS. The Bible Verse was inked in Basic Black and I raised it up with some Stampin' Dimensionals.

I embossed the layered White CS with the Vine Label Folder from QuicKutz and added the Silver Pearls.

So what do you think aren't these some beautiful new Sets???

Of course you will have a chance to win SOME PRIZES by participating in the BLOG HOP!!! Leave a comment on all the DT Members cards and then go back to the ODBD Blog and let us know what you think!!!

Now you have a chance to hop on over to these awesome ladies - Grace, Sandee, Dawn and Connie !!!

Thanks for stopping by and have fun hopping!!! I'm off to an Art Convention down in Savannah with my friend Penny!!! Hugs ~S~

What a gorgeous collection of cards. I just love the monochromatic ones, and it is nice to see the lake image used so differently from one designer to another. Just beautiful!
