ODBD Designer's Favorites Flower Hunt

We are celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Our Daily Bread Designs! All this week we have special events going on at the ODBD Blog, so be sure to check them out! Today we have something that we hope will be pure fun for all!  One dozen of the ODBD designers, also know as the Bread Sticks, have baked up a special game for you! We decided to shower ODBD with a bouquet of flowers, since flowers are one of the traditional gifts for a 4th anniversary. You will be collecting these flowers along the way, and creating a beautiful bouquet for Kelley, the ODBD owner,  and all of Our Daily Bread Designs!

Each designer has created a special layout, card, or project using at least one of our own personal ALL TIME FAVORITE ODBD sets. SIX of us will also have a special blog button with a special flower on it! (It will be labeled as a Designer's Flower Hunt Game, and will give the name of a flower.) Look for it in the designer's side bars of their blogs. HINT: I just might be one of the designers who has one... so look carefully! :)

To play the game:

• Visit each designer listed below
• Leave a comment
• Keep a list of each designer who has a special flower blog button. Write down the designer's name and the name of the flower they have.
• When you have visited all 12, left comments and found the 6 flowers, send an email to Grace at gnywening@yahoo.com. Simply name the 6 designers who had the flowers and the flower they had.
• Winners will be chosen randomly from all who email Grace with their list by 9:00pm DST Mar. 15th!

Now on to my project details:

We were asked  to list our FOUR ALL TIME FAVORITE ODBD sets, and to use at least one on our project today.   How can I possibly choose just 4?   Well.... if I have to, here are my four favorites, in no particular order :)

The first one is a no brainer.  Since I'm a scrapbooker, Large Scrapbook Words is definitely on my list.  I love the size of these words, perfect for any size layout, and the words are ones that I use a lot in real life and on my pages...Happy, Loved, Blessed, Beautiful, Amazing and Thankful.  The word "So" is also included in the set which gives the words added meaning.

Never Give Up is another one of my favorites.   I love the grungy look of this set, and being the mother of a teenage boy, this is perfect for a lot of his pages.  I also love that the Grunge Cross is available as a separate stamp without the background grunge and it has a coordinating die.  This makes for quick and easy 3-D embellishments on your layout.

Happy Birthday also makes my list.  Although it's designed with birthdays in mind, the scriptures in this set go so well with everyday pages.  The image stamp would make a great accent on a spring layout and there is a little butterfly that's just too cute.

And last but certainly not least... Grow in Grace.  The name of this set alone speaks volumes. The  scriptures and sentiments in the set speak of God's grace.  And I have made great use of the flower image in this set. 

For my project today I created an 8x8 layout using Large Scrapbook Words and  Grow in Grace.  I used the flower from the Grow in Grace set to create my background paper. I inked the top portion of the stamp with VersaMark ink and stamped it all over the cardstock.  If you click on the layout you'll get a larger version so it's easier to see the background.   I used 2 words from the Large Scrapbook Words set for my title and stamped them on a die cut banner.  The photo is of my mother in 1947 when she was 15.
