Easter Cross

Good morning to you!  I wasn't able to sleep so I am sitting here creating.  Even though I am very tired and should be seeing the inside of my eyelids, I have enjoyed making time to get back into my graphics program and creating something.

I am working at three jobs right now.  Well, one is only on an as needed basis since I technically quit.  But, they have kept my name in the computer in case they run into issues with too many sick or whatever.  So I seldom go in for "on the clock" time there, but just last week, I worked two nights so never say never!  I am also thoroughly enjoying the Home Healthcare job that I have gotten into.  The agency I work for is great and the gentleman that I take care of is wonderful!  It is very rewarding work!  My husband and I also co-manage the local theatre in our town.  Our season is just revving up and we are excited about that!  It is taking a lot of time to get it all organized and ready to go for the patrons for the 2014 Season!

I've been thinking about Easter a lot!  I miss my kids all being around and making the big meals for holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.  I wish we could all be together!  But, Easter is a time to celebrate and rejoice that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The Christian faith is nothing without this glorious event.
John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.

If you would like to save the image I made this morning, just click on it to open in it's own window and then save it to your computer to use when you wish.

I pray you all have a BLESSED EASTER season and remember the reason for THIS season!

HAPPY SPRING!

The template for this candy bar is from Tami Matta.

Toilet Paper Snowman

Marci Coombs created a really cute snowman craft!  We are using the idea for a group of kids to make at our "KIDS DAY" at the local Theatre.  To add to it, I generated a tag using her poem that the kids can attach to be able to give it as a gift to someone.  These are free printables for you to click on and open in a new window and save to your own computer for your own use.  Be sure to visit the original post at Marci's website and share some love with her for sharing the original idea!

Here are the printable tags I created to accent this fun creation

CREATE WITH TLC treasures not to miss

Life has had me extremely busy and not in a creative way that I can post it all here...  but let me tell ya, Paulette over at CREATE WITH TLC has kept herself extremely busy with her creative outlets!  There is a new club going on right now....  It started yesterday and there were already 18 images sent out as part of this club.  If you are not a CLUBBER, you are missing out on a lot of great elements to use in your creative outlets!!  Check it out HERE:

Paulette also has several pages to explore from her homepage.  Her HOMEPAGE is loaded with tons of freebies that you must get within a few days of it getting posted because they do get converted to the store after a while...  But if you check out the link at the top called VINTAGE GRAPHICS you will be taken to a page with a LOT of wonderful freebie vintage digistamps for your snaggin fingers to get happy over.  Here is the direct link to that page, but please don't miss the homepage in your eagerness to go get the freebies... AND DO NOT forget to leave your appreciation/love for what she so freely gives us.  Remember what goes around comes around and without that word of thanks to Paulette for her generosity, we may all miss out on a lot of treasures if she stops sharing...  Here are some samples of those goodies:

Another thing Paulette has a passion for is sharing some TLC in the way of RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness).  One way to do this is by making a card or a bookmark or a gift box or a refrigerator magnet or anything that appeals to your own personal creative side.  She always shares what I call "HALLMARK HOLIDAYS".  Some of them are so wild and crazy that you think "only hallmark could possibly think of that as a special day event"...  But they are so fun to see in her list on the left side of her HOMEPAGE.  And she will share freebies a LOT to be designed towards those crazy fun days!  Just go check it out if you don't believe me!  Here is a sampling of the upcoming holidays:

Well... If you've read to this point, I want to extend a warm hug to you and wishes for a very fun and blessed Sunday as well as the week ahead!  THANK YOU so much for visiting my blog even when I'm not having time to share creative inspirations. 

HAPPY CRAFTING TO YOU

A MONOGRAM notecard printable

Paulette tried something different and

shared it as a freebie on her blog..

Find it HERE

This is what I created with it.

I used her paper fill which I will also share

with you.  From that paper fill I used colors

and textures and created the other fills. 

I sure hope she does ALL the letters

in this format... I have LOTS of friends

that will appreciate a set of cards with

their monogram on them.

Just click on the images to open them

full-size and right click to save them

to your own computer.

HAPPY CRAFTING
