AND ANOTHER TWO

For today's post I have one Easter card which I made last night and one Sympathy card which I made this morning.  The Easter card uses a border punch to make the background.  I cut strips of coordinating paper and used the punch and then adhered them closely together.  I topped it off with a title sticker and a circle punch with a stamped cross.

Here it is:

I entered this in the Spring is in the Air challenge #4 at Sketches4All calling for distressing or punching.  All of my edges were distressed with ink and as I mentioned above the background is made with a border punch.

I am also entering this in the Easter challenge #84 at Sugar Creek Hollow. 

This morning I found out that an old high school classmate and former neighbor lost his Mom.  I put together this Sympathy card.  I am entering this in Word Art Wednesday Challenge # 128 Anything Goes. 

Here is my card:

I hope to complete 2 more Easter cards for my church to get mailed in the morning so I will post those tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my creations.  Have a great weekend, a Happy Passover and a Happy Easter.

WITH MUCH SADNESS

It is with a saddened heart that I prepared this card in honor of one of my youngest son's teachers from last year.  Marjorie Ash passed away suddenly last week at only 58 years old.  She was a wonderful teacher that my son got a lot of help from last year in his new school.  He was devastated when we got the news and we will be attending the service early this evening.  I used this sketch from Feeling Sketchy with one of my favorite comforting scriptures, John 14:27.

and my card:

WITH SYMPATHY

I found a new challenge blog called Perfect Sentiments today and challenge #PSC44 was to create a sympathy card.  I love John 14:27 and I think it is especially appropriate for a sympathy card or a difficult or trying time.  Here is the card I put together:

Thanks for looking.
