Happy Easter!

This week's Midweek Throwdown is to create an Easter card.  I won't be sending another box before that deadline, so I just made one card.  It'll go in my box to hold for next year.  I keep a box with dividers where I store cards after deadlines have passed.  Often, I'll make a few cards close to the holiday because I'm inspired but I might not have recipients for all of them.  Rather than send the cards late and force my shipper to store them, I keep them myself. 

I used some really old paper that I'd cut to A2 size years ago.  The cardstock pieces were all in the A2 pile or scrap pile as well.

Pastel Power

I made several spring and Easter cards using these old pastel MM papers.  The pack is nearly gone, hooray!

Jennipher's Challenge- Scripture

When I started working on this challenge, I realized I don't have many scripture stamps.  Jennipher challenged us to make a card where scripture was the focal point as part of the Perfect Sentiments bloghop.  I chose the largest scripture stamp I own which is an Easter stamp.  It's still the Easter season, but it's a bit late to send the card.  I'll go ahead and save this one for next year's box that will be going to Operation Write Home.
