Because He Lives!


I did not make a lot of Easter cards this year, but could not resist using this image!   I combined the Easter frame and the verse.  This is the last couple of lines from the chorus of the wonderful song 'Because He Lives"!!

     Because He lives I can face tomorrow.
     Because He lives all fear is gone.
     Because I know He holds the future
     And life is worth the living just because He lives!

It is my prayer that you know Jesus!  It is only through the risen, living Lord that we have hope in this life and the next!!


Supplies...
~digi image and sentiment from Easter Frame (outlines) from Imagine That... digis by Kris 
~Spectrum Noir markers
~DCWV cardstock
~Prima Madeline DP
~Darice embossing folder "Butterfly Corner"
~Spellbinders Ovals and Scalloped Ovals
~Ribbon scraps and brad from stash

Puppy Love - TMS #191


Tuesday has come again!  Each week seems to fly by a little faster than the last.  I'm sorry that I have not posted since last Tuesday!  Our week was different than normal.  (Aren't they all??!?)  I did find some time in my craft room to make a b'day card for my DD, but I didn't even have time to post about it!!  We made a quick trip to PA to see "Noah" at Sight and Sound!  It was wonderful!!

Maybe this week will be "normal"! HA!  But anyway, I'm glad it's Tuesday... time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!! 

This week, our very own team member Jessi is sponsoring!   She makes wonderful crocheted mats!!!  She supplied the team with mats, and we created using her sketch.  I don't crochet (it's on my list of things to learn someday!) so this was new and great fun for me!!     

The prize is awesome!!  *18 of Jessie's crocheted mats of your choice*  Wow!!!

Here's her fun sketch...

Here's my card... I stretched the sketch and used ribbon rather than washi tape.  I tried washi on my initial card, but I wasn't happy with the results, and all my efforts ended up in the trash can!!  :(  So i went with ribbon...


Supplies...
~beautiful crocheted mat from Jessi
~Doodle Pantry Puppy Presents pre-colored digi and sentiment
~Spellbinders Circles
~Kraft cardstock
~DCWV The Pets Stack dp
~ribbon scraps

Challenge...
Wags n Whiskers #100 - friendship

He Is Risen!!


I've got a quick Easter card to share.  It's been several days since I posted and even more since I've spent time in my craft room.  :-/   Last week was very busy and I had no time to create until last evening.  I apologize, too, for not doing much blog visiting lately!!

This card did not turn out the way it was supposed to, but do they ever?!?  I trimmed the image incorrectly and had to "fix" it and it ended up sized very differently than I had planned.  C'est la vie!   But except for too much space at the top, I'm reasonably pleased with the result.



Challenges...
Shopping Our Stash #92 - use border punch
Word Art Wednesday #70 - anything goes
Twist of Faith #27 - ribbons and bows (not sure if twine counts?)
The Sweet Stop SSS201 - sketch (I had to slim and stretch it!)
I had intended to follow the sketch exactly, but had a brain dead moment when I started to trim around my image, and it was all down hill from there!! :/

Supplies...
~Doodle Pantry He is Risen COLOR plus  
~MME "Dolled Up" dp
~Cutmates Olive Oil cardstock
~twine and brad from my stash

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
