I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter. God bless!!

The Empty Egg

In lilies by the tree I found it all alone. I looked inside to see the candy prize was gone. Other kids were finding eggs painted pink and green. All I found were questions instead of jelly beans.

An empty egg, an empty tomb, they both remind us of good news; delivered on that special day. An empty egg tells us today, an empty world was shown the way.

I must admit at first, I was feeling sad. Now I understand. In emptiness, I’m glad. How could I have known, the only egg I’d find tells a story true? We need this Easter time.

An empty egg, an empty tomb, they both remind us of good news; delivered on that special day. An empty egg tells us today, an empty world was shown the way.

A lesson for my heart, I would love to share. A blessing on this day. For friends both far and near. Once all the candy’s gone, the big parade is through; this empty egg is here. A picture of His truth.

An empty egg, an empty tomb, they both remind us of good news; delivered on that special day. An empty egg tells us today, an empty world was shown the way.

***Song from "A Very Veggie Easter"***

He died for us to give us life, and to give us hope He rose! I'm so glad He rose! Praise Him! God bless you all this Easter!

Hot and Happy Easter!

I made this card using a free digital stamp from Dustin Pike. I never would have imagined I'd be using dragons on my Easter cards, but...here it is! :) This isn't the main card I made for the blessed season. It's the one I made for my little cousin who is celebrating his 1st Easter.

The card base is Acetate. (Transparency sheets). I ran the pink card stock through the Cuttlebug with the "Swirls" embossing folder. I colored the image with Bic Write-It markers. I hand wrote "Happy Easter" with a white gel pen. Which, by the way, has become my go-to tool. I use it ALL the time. After wasting tons of money on junk gel pens I bought this one and it's worked great! It's from the Souffle line. I don't know off hand what the brand is.

So, I pray everyone who reads my blog has a blessed Easter touched by the love of Jesus Christ! What more reason can we have to rejoice? He is risen!!

Why is it still cold??!!

I am still hard at work on spring cards in the hopes of warming the weather up here. So far, it's not working. It's only going to be up in the 30's tomorrow! :(

Not to be deterred, here is my latest wamer weather card:

Stamps: Spring Gifts (Stampin' Up), Sending Happy Thoughts (Hero Arts)

Paper: The Sweet Stack (DCWV)

Coloring: Bic Write-It markers

Extra: Souffle pen, Glitter dust pen

If the weather doesn't improve soon I am going to have to make a hobby store run for more pastel paper! What a shame! ;)
