Thanks a Bunch

 Why an Easter wreath on a thank you card several weeks after Easter?  Well, here's why.  I work with a small non-profit ministry that recently received a donation from a very creative group of young people.  They hosted an Easter Egg Hunt, charging an entry fee for each participant.  The funds were shared with our group.

This is one of the times that it's really fun to use card-making supplies in a different way to create a card perfect for the occasion!

Be Still Lilacs

 The Botanicuts Lilac dies bring back sweet spring memories and are a joy to ink and use in craft projects!  This card pairs the lilacs with a favorite scripture from Verve Stamps and is accented by a die from Papertrey Ink.

Hippo Birdie for WAW

 Big news!  Lawn Fawn is sponsoring this week's challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  Just by entering an anything goes paper crafting project, you have an opportunity to win a gift certificate to Lawn Fawn, chosen by random draw from among the participants.  Hippo Birdie by Lawn Fawn is one of my favorites for masculine cards.  It's cute and everyone loves the images and the punny sentiment!

In Him was Light

This week's Word Art Wednesday scripture is framed with  Butterfly Foliage dies by Hero Arts.  The soft colors and spring scene seemed to fit with the light and life theme of the scripture.

Please visit Word Art Wednesday to get your scripture file, to play along with the challenge, and to have a chance at a prize.

Blessings,

Best Wishes to the Mr. and Mrs.

The Mandala and Stitched Flowers are favorites from My Favorite Things.  I love the color selections and softened them a bit for this wedding card.  The inside reads:  Best wishes to the Mr. and Mrs. 

MFT Color Challenge

You're Fintastic

It's fun to play along with a sketch challenge!  I love the creativity that comes from combining supplies and stamps that are on-hand along with an occasion and a sketch.  It makes for more creative cards, I think.  This one features the so-cute Baby Shark die-namics and the coordinating sentiment stamps.

Hinds' Feet on High Places for WAW

 

This scripture beautifully expresses the way God's presence brings loving security to even the most challenging times.  Karen will have a lovely devotion elaborating on this precious verse, and it is also available for download at Word Art Wednesday.  Please make plans in the next couple of weeks to stop by the WAW Blog for your copy of the word art, an opportunity to share your work, and maybe even to be randomly selected as a prize winner.

Blessings,

Christine
