Here is an Easter card I made for the Gina K March release using Easter Blessings; a set not only used for this time of year, you will see in this sample Melanie used it for Communion and so many others have been using it for Spring with the beautiful lilies Rupa drew in the set. I sent the above card to our grandparents in Waco and got a sweet email from Mamaw saying,
“Thanks for the beautiful Easter card. It is simple but very elegant!
Indeed we are so grateful for our Rock, our Savior. He is indeed risen and ever lives for us! I am not the thoughtful and creative person but indeed all of you are so special in my heart!!!”
This is the stuff that makes me appreciate my gifting.
On my card, I used a Chocolate Kiss base weight card base (so happy this cardstock will be released by Gina!) and layered brushed gold metallic cardstock by SU!on top. The crown of thorns is tamped in chocolate ink on the Pure Luxury Ivory layering weight cardstock and the sentiment embossed with chocolate chip craft ink & clear embossing powder on vellum cardstock.

On a personal note (some of my readers actually look forward to hearing personal stuff). I’ll be taking John to the Dr. tomorrow – he is having some shots in his lower back as a result of the pain from his rear-end accident on Jan 16. Then on May 1st his mid-back. If he responds well to the treatments, he will go for a 3rd in his neck. If you are a praying person, please pray he gets some relief & these treatments work. Also, please say a prayer for our cat Chica (she has a bacterial infection and we’re not exactly sure where) we are treating her with antibiotics orally (twice a day-it’s interesting) as a result of her losing about 4 lbs since last July. I want hem BOTH to get better! Thanks!

My cat has a thyroid problem so we have to give her a pill daily; it's rather difficult. We recently found out that you can get pill shooters. They look almost like a syringe; you can put the pill in it with a small amount of water and you it down the cat's throat. She might choke for a second, but it's much easier than prying her mouth open and then clamping it shut! Good luck!
Beautiful card! I loved reading what your grandmother wrote. I will be praying for John and Chica. Please keep us posted on both of them.
Woh, there is a lot going on with Gina K designs! Thanks for the update on all the new stuff. I enjoyed reading what grandma wrote. . .He is our rock and lives for us! Amen to that. Lovely card and hope all goes well today with John's back.
