Looking Back at the ODBD August Mid-Month New Release

Hello, everyone!  Today we are looking back at the awesome August Mid-Month release from Our Daily Bread designs!  To see more gorgeous samples, check out the ODBD Blog, or better yet, visit my designer sisters' blogs below:

Here are all of the products from Our Daily Bread designs used in my two samples for today:

My first project is a 6x6 scrapbook page which was built around this awesome photo from my mom and step-dad's vacation to the Alabama shore.  When I first saw the new 'By the Sea' stamp set with the cool pelican, I immediately thought of this photo!  The background scene is a piece of designer paper from the ODBD By The Shore Paper Collection; the edges were distressed, torn, and inked, then pieces of a recycled onion bag were tucked between the layers and under the photo panel.  The photo and sentiment panel were both cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set; the letters were cut with the ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies and numbers cut with the ODBD Custom Numbers Dies.

My second project is an A2 card which features the 'Thanks a Melon' set, coordinating ODBD Custom Watermelon Dies, ODBD Custom Fence Die, ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies, ODBD Custom Grass Lawn Die (available Sept.1), ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, and the ODBD Boho Bolds Paper Collection.  The watermelons were stamped, cut out with the custom dies, colored with markers, layered over the die cut grass and fence.  The sky was sponged over a template cut from the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies, then two clouds were popped up with foam tape for added dimension.

Thanks for visiting with me!

Blessings,
