For the Love of New Beginnings Blog Hop!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.  This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of New Beginnings! Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, check the ODBD blog for full list of links.  One of the posts is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.  So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!  You have until Wednesday, January 16th, at 6 pm.   Enjoy all the beautiful designs featuring For the Love of New Beginnings!

If you got here from  Tosh's Awesome Blog   blog, you are in the right place!  If not you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don't miss any chances to win!!!

I used this month's release, All Occasion Sentiments, Antique Label Designs and the custom Antique Labels die made to match the labels by Spellbinders.   Can you say LOVE?  These all occasion sentiments by Michelle Laycock are just perfect so many different needs.

I pulled out one of my older Martha Stewart punches for this card, punched white card stock and layered it over brushed silver.  I heat embossed the sentiment and frame in silver and matted the sentiment panel with a Sbellbinders A2 Polka Dots die.  A little bling and a sheer silver bow finished it off pretty simply, yet I think it has an elegant feel.
