Cards #11 and #12 for 2026

Dear blog readers I love this sketch so much that I made

3 more cards today.  I'm exhausted.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stampin up products I used are:

Springtime Smiles

Storybook Life

Two step stampin Easter Egg

Teeny Tiny Wishes 

There was a lot of coloring and cutting involved 

in these cards, so that must be why I'm so tired and hurting.

Very straightforward stamping.  If you have any questions please

just leave a comment. I will answer as soon as I can. 

Patriot pup taking it easy today too. 

We went outside for a few minutes yesterday,

very seldom do we get 63 degrees in March in Wisconsin. 

Below is a picture of another card I made using this sketch.

I just changed up the DSP.

The verse I chose for this card is:

John 11:25 NKJV

 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. 

He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

Card #10 for 2026

Dear blog readers, thank you for stopping by.   

I know my postings have been so irregular lately, and I 

apologize for that.  Still trying to recover.  God willing. 

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets used are from stampin Up:

Love what you do

Blessed Beginnings 

Holly Berry Happiness

Seasonal Celebrations

Buffalo Check

I normally would have went the Christmas route seeing

this darling sketch.  But I needed a few Easter cards yet for 

the upcoming Holiday.  I love this bunny stamp, so I 

brought him back out to make another card.  actually two

identical cards for my kiddos.   I used a wobbler on the back 

again to create movement.  The plaid is from the buffalo check stamp. 

I also added pearl accent paint to the cute little bow tie to make it shine.

I love the sparkly green washi tape.  I added the little splash of color

behind the bunny by using a stamp from, Love what you do.  It was the

perfect size to fit this image.  

Below are a few of my illustrations for my scripture journal.

It has been fun to do, but it does exhaust me.  

Here's Patriot pup. under my desk.  He likes to 

find hiding places.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

1 Peter 1:3 NKJV

 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

 who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a

 living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Card #9 for 2026

Dear blog readers I will enter this card 

in the challenge at: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets I used in this card are stampin up:

deckled circle dies

teeny tiny wishes

swirling frames

seasonal celebrations

wishing you well

I know it's not the traditional green for St. Patrick's day

but I decided to make it happen.  Naturally I ran out of wink

of stella for the clover.  I always forget about that and when I remember

it's usually empty.  Instead of tying ribbon today, I chose my favorite

all time bow from the wishing you well stamp set.  I just love that bow.

Patriot pup just loves our afternoon shenanigans.

Today's scripture art.  

The verse I chose for this card today is:

John 14:26 NKJV

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, 

He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Card #8 for 2026

Dear blog readers.  I chose this phrase today with

the 3 leaf clover because it reminded me of my days

in Sunday school as a youngster.  I had a lovely

teacher that told me that the The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

are three in one, much like the 3 leaves of a clover to make one.

I always thought that was a neat way to explain the trinity 

to a young child.  I still hold on to that now at almost 55 years young.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at: Paper Craft Crew Challenge

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, 

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
