Hosanna!

Happy Palm Sunday tomorrow :) I love how we celebrate it at my church...we have real palm branches to wave around ( *don't poke someone's eye out with that thing* ) and then during the service people sit and transform them into a cross. Hmmn. I'll have to take a picture to show you. Since I haven't made any Palm Sunday cards this year...I'll have to post this other Easter one :) As usual, it looks somewhat better in person. The Stamp is a Studio G clear one, that I just colored over with pencils. The rest is pretty basic. *Blessed is He Who comes as King!* ><>

He is Risen Indeed ! :)

This card uses one of my *favorite* Heart & Soul images ~ the big cross :) I inked it up right from the pad, choosing here and there what colors to use. The words are also Heart & Soul. Love that Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder ~ it just seems like it was MADE for alleluia work :) ><>

Goodbye Ralphie :)

This is for an awesome lady who is retiring today from my kid's alma matter. She is the best security guard on the planet! ( we used to kid that she had eyes in the back of her head....) Always a smile for us, and all over anything that was going on that shouldn't be :) I'm praying that her next life adventure will be blessed beyond measure...'cause she was such a blessing to PHS :)

oops. stamp credits: balloon is super vintage DOTS, words are Rubber Soul, and the school mascot is one I made (with permission from school) ><>

Lenten Centerpiece

Here we are two weeks into the Lenten season already, and I keep forgetting to post a picture of the centerpiece mobile in our sanctuary. It's meant to represent the somber journey to the cross as we walk with Jesus on His journey. Lots of purple for repentance/royalty. I like it :) ><>

variation of a theme :)

so here's my version of the earlier butterfly card I loved....had to make it all purple, of course :) I used the SU Embosslit die and the words are Heart & Soul. Something about the simplicity of it all really strikes my fancy! ><>

sweet sixteen :)

This is for one of the girls on our worship team who is having her 16th birthday Sunday ~ and singing with us :) The banner is from Making Memories, the 'sweet' is Studio G, and the numbers were cut from an old school plastic stencil. A little glitter pen, some buttons and voila :) It's a joy to make music with such a great gal :) well, actually we're all fond of the whole family <3 Happy Sweet Sixteen Miss Emily! ><>

poppin' up butterflies :)

Another idea from card club yesterday....used some random leftover background paper I was goofing off with...Blue image is SU, and the 'spring butterfly' is one of those $1 stamps from Michael's. Words are Heart & Soul. But the real fun begins when you open it up....

These images are all older Impression Obsession...I just measured a 1" triangle at the top of the page, and about 1 1/2" from the bottom to make the pop out. They all fold up rather nicely when you close the card. So much fun :)
