"Happy Birthday to Rick!" Blog Hop

Hi, everyone!  Today we are celebrating a very special birthday......Rick Holland from Our Daily Bread designs!!!  Rick is a real sweetheart and it's a blast working with him at stamps shows each year!!!  Kelley and Rick are like family to me and I love them both so much!  What a blessing to be a part of their wonderful company!!!  Have a fabulous birthday, Rick!!!  Mwaaah!!!

I have used the "Keep Climbing" and "On Eagles' Wings" sets, plus the "Wood Background" to create Rick's birthday card.  Thanks to the wide variety of  "masculine" ODBD stamp sets, singles, and backgrounds, our hop today shows many different styles and themes!
