easter-blessings.jpg  Good day!  I have a confession to make.  I have been taking some time “off” from stamping/blogging and just spending it with my DH who is currently laid off.   It’s been so nice to have adult conversations (uh, not that kind!), and we’ve been catching up on some things that have been left undone for awhile.  Oh, yes, Marisa… I still owe you a card or two! LOL

I did manage to pull off the Color Combination challenge this morning as I need to make several more Easter cards in the next couple of days.  At first, I didn’t think these colors would work as an Easter card, but I love their subtlety.  I even managed to use my Tres Chic background that had yet to be mounted.   I’m happy with it!

Here’s my deets:

Stamps:  Oh, So Lovely and Tres Chic (both SU!)

Colors: Kraft, Orchid Opulence, Sage Shadow, Basic Black, GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite black, Versamark, copics

Accessories: HPH frame and brads, ribbon, dimensionals. scallop circle punches, oval punch, scissors

*************************************************************

I will be making some changes to my box instructions later today.  A couple people have asked for the corrections and I apologize for not doing it sooner.  I simply forgot.

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!

You’ve got your priorities right, Holly. Family comes first and I’m glad you have been able to take some time with your hubby. I’m sure it isn’t an easy time for him re: work situation and I hope he is feeling better at least (and that you haven’t caught anything yet!).

Another lovely card. I got that BG stamp and haven’t used it yet as it is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I’ve seen so many lovely cards using it I thought I would branch out.

Please don’t worry about the cards for me - you’ve got lots on your hands to deal with right now and I’m just happy to be able to enjoy your blog and tease you a bit :)

May Easter bring you and your family a deep sense of God’s love as you reflect on the amazing gift we received in Christ’s death and resurrection! May His love envelope you, His peace surround you and His faithfulness be abundantly clear. Blessings.
