Easter...

With Easter fast approaching, I just wanted to make sure I got my decorations posted!  They aren't much, but enough for my family to enjoy!  Everything I have is a gift from someone or something I purchased from a friend's boutique.  It is really nice to have such wonderful memories of people and places.

However, these decorations are the cute part of Easter.  We always try to remember in our home the true meaning of Easter and what it represents.  We are totally grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ,and for his wonderful sacrifice for us and for his magnificent resurrection that followed.  What a fantastic Easter gift for us all!  I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

He Is Risen

So, I believe that I should put all my projects on here, whether they turn out well or not!  LOL!  This was one that I tried to do for a challenge on the Make-the-Cut forum.  It was a vinyl challenge.  We were to make something that had to do with Easter and it had to have vinyl in the making.  Well, I found this coloring page image of the Savior on line and brought it into my Make-the-Cut software, made a file.  I cut the Savior, the clouds and the saying "He is Risen" out of vinyl using Shadow (my Black Cat Lynx!).  Then I used some Perfect Pearls Sunflower Sparkle to get the gold behind the Savior.  I used Perfect Pearls Turquoise to put blue around the clouds.  It is very sparkly!  It is a 16 x 20 frame so my photo is far away so I could get it all in.  I had a hard time getting a good shot because the light was reflecting on the glass.  I am almost certain I have mentioned that I am not a good photographer!  Not my best results on something, but hey, I tried!

I really like the vinyl used on the saying.  It is a very shiny gold, but has the effect that someone scrunched it up and then tried to flatten it out again.  You know, like when you crinkle Reynolds Wrap foil!

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day!  I hope my next project will look a bit better than this one but I have to say, I learned a lot!  Thanks for stopping by!
