My Card

I have had this adorable little elephant dude for a while and I thought this
challenge was a sign that I needed to use him!
I used two shades of gray for him and added him to the card with pop dots.
The heart looked so --- well, plain, so I used a fine tip marker to add the faux stitching.
Much better thank you!

Supplies:

Card stock from American Crafts (Card base), Stampin up! and Bazzill

Elephant die from Cuttlebug

Easter card for my Daughter

Bunnies are cuddly

The large and the small

But I like chocolate ones

The best of them all.

Good morning!

I made this Easter card for my daughter based on this card from Cherished by Design

There is actually some humor involved in this card. If you notice the eyes are different sizes? I did that because after a series of retinal detachments, I am now blind in my right eye and it is smaller than my left. So this bunny is a representation of Me! LOL

Size 5 x 7

SUPPLIES:

Card stock from Stampin Up!

DP from DCWV (I think)

Chalk from Stampin Up!

Marvy 3" Circle punch

"Bit of Paisley" EF from Cuttlebug

Heart Print die from Paper Trey Ink

Googlie eye from my stash

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Sunday: The Outlawz Clean & Simple Challenge

Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal.  It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown.

Author unknown, as quoted in the Lewiston Tribune

Good morning!

Grace unto you as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior. May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Today is Easter Sunday!  Show us, in CAS style, what Easter means to you and perhaps you might share a brief happy Easter memory with us.

Easter has always been a happy time for my family, whether it was the Easter egg hunts with the kids when they were little or sharing dinner with family and friends. I love everything from the chocolate bunnies to hearing the story of Jesus's return from the grave to remind us that we too, can find everlasting life if we believe in him.

Here is my card
