If you have any questions about my card, please feel free to contact me.

Spring Flowers

Hi there again.  I just wanted to blog the other card I made today.  I am getting ready to go to a fish fry at my church.  We have been doing this for the past couple of years and it is fantabulous.  Tomorrow we have a service for Good Friday then on Sunday we gather together at 8:30 am for communion service to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and then have breakfast together.  What a wonderful weekend.

Here's the card I created:

I used an image from Delicious Doodles to create this card.  I was hoping to enter their challenge, but I missed it by a few hours.  I love Teri's frame images.  They are all so beautiful.

Thanks again for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day and God bless.

Springtime is FINALLY Here

Happy Thursday, friends.  It's a beautiful day here in NE PA.  I hope y'all are enjoying beautiful weather too.

I've been working in my craft room today and have created a couple of cards for challenges and two cards for a blog hop that is coming up with Mark's Finest Papers.

Here's one of the challenge cards:

I am so happy to be using Springtime colors.  And then to be able to look outside and see the trees budding, see the soft winds blowing.  What a wonderful sight.  And so fitting with this weekend. The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus, a new birth, a new beginning.  That's what Spring represents to me.  A new beginning. A resurrection of plants, dead throughout the winter, rising again to bloom with the creativity of a wonderful Lord.  Even the land blooms forth in praises.  What a great season.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I am so thankful that you took time out of your schedule to stop in. Have a wonderful spring day and God bless.

Think Spring

Good Morning.  Y'all aren't going to believe what we woke up to this morning.  When I woke up at 7am this morning, I went to take the dogs out and low and behold, there is about 4 inches of snow out there.  Yep, that's right.  So much for spring.  I am so very tired of all this white stuff.  Then, as I went to go out of the door, my foot slipped and down I went.  My knee is the size of a soft ball and missing skin in two places, I hit my head on the grill and my back hit the door jam.  Both dogs went running out the door.  Thankfully my husband heard me calling and  came downstairs and got both dogs back in and helped me up.  My knee is very sore, but other than that, I'm OK.

Kierstynne has PSSAs this morning, but they have a two hour delay because of the snow.  So, I managed to get a card done while waiting to leave.  

Meet Hamlet PigWit.  He's from From the Heart and he's the March Progressive Challenge image.  He's adorable, isn't he?

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day.  God bless!

Melonheadz Friends New Challenge

Happy Monday friends.  Glad to see y'all.  I hope today finds all of you happy, healthy and well.  

Today's post is to let y'all know about Melonheadz Friends new challenge.  The theme this time is "Time for Spring."  Yep, it's definitely time for Spring.  I'm so ready.  

What do you think of when you think Spring? Flowers, bunnies, Easter, lots of sunshine?  For some reason, I have always loved the Springtime rain showers.  It's like a refreshing of nature to me. The light rains that come in the Spring always leave such a fresh scent in the air.  It's God's way of bringing forth freshness and new life to what laid dormant during the winter.  I just love that.

So, with that being said, I used an image that represented those Springtime showers.

I decided on lots of yellow and blue for this card.  I think it made a great combo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember to always smile at people.  You never know if it's just what they need.  Have a great day and God bless.
