A Blessed Resurection Sunday

Our Easter weekend was wonderful!! Actually we prefer to call Sunday Resurrection Sunday, because that is what we are really celebrating. The weather, although a bit nippy, was cooperative and the sky was just lovely. A lovely spring day!! And best of all I got to spend it in church worshiping my Lord and celebrating the fact that He is alive!! What more could a girl ask for.

Our oldest son made it up. He will be here for a few days. One of his best friends is coming in later. It will be nice to have them here for a short visit. They are so much fun to have around. Our youngest son loves having them here especially. He is very close to his big brother!

I was even able to get in making a card for the SCS Featured Stamper this week. it was fun trying to find a card to case but I managed it. Like I have ever had trouble making a card!!


I started with one of my favorite stamps, Maude in her bathrobe looking very pleasant! She cracks me up every time I look at her. I stamped her with Stazon and then water colored and accented with colored pencils. I think ti turned out pretty good. Of course I am partial too.

Maude is from Art Impressions. The sentiment that was also stamped in Stazon is from River City Rubber Works. I love that stamp company!! So many of their stamps are so nice and they stamp beautifully!!

Around Maude and the sentiment I drew little lines and hash marks just to set them off a little bit more. I think it helped frame them both well. I did the same thing on the inside where I mounted a piece of white card stock.

Most of the paper is from Creative Memories. The piece with the little flowers is from Stampin Up. The brads are from Spare Parts and Making Memories. The prima flowers are from Got Flowers.

Can't tell you how much fun it was to make and I know just who I am going to send it to. Her birthday is coming up in May! Hmmm, wonder if she will figure it out?

Thanks for stopping by again!
