"Hello (and a) cupcake!"

I don't usually combine posts, but I will tonight since I have a birthday card and a "hello" card to show you. 

This card was made for Imagine That... digis by Kris: Freebie Challenge #5.

I used a piece of DP from DCWV All About Boys (shhh! don't tell this little girl!), my corner rounder, Spellbinders Labels, ribbon and clip from my stash, and the digi and sentiment from Kris.

My second card is a birthday card...

My digi cupcake is from Daydream Designs (no longer in business), the DP is from DCWV "the Birthday wishes" 6x6 stack, sentiment from My Pink Stamper "Friends and Family," Spellbinders Circles and Lacy Circles, and a scrap of ribbon.  I used my glitter pen on the icing but it isn't visible in the pic.  I used the sketch from Seize the Birthday, but I missed the deadline! :/

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!!

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!!

Friendship

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!!  We are having  a wonderful visit with my family!  We had a wonderful Christmas day together, had DeLuxe Fish 'n Chips for lunch today, bought several bags of  Ketchup chips, and now tonight it is snowing!!!   :) :) :) 

These last couple of weeks have been so busy that I've not been able to craft or visit my blog friends, and I'm sorry for not stopping by to see your creations!  I will be back home on Saturday night and I hope to get back to "normal"!   Our printer needed some attention so I have not been able to print any digital stamps.  I made this card but never posted it, so I thought I'd do it tonight.
