Sorry your are feeling under the weather....

Hello, Friends!! I hope this spring is finding you all well!! It is hard to believe that it is already almost 1.2 way through the month of April, almost a 1/4 of a year already. Wow, does time fly. The tulips and daffodils, as well as the flowering trees, are in full bloom here!! Even my daylilies are growing tremendously!!

Today I am popping in to share a card I made using this week's sketch at the Shining the Light challenge. This is will go to, one of what seems many, that are not feeling well right now and could use a little prayer or a bit of cheer to perk up their day.

Our Daily Bread Designs, The Lord has Risen, April Showers, Umbrella dies, Layered Lacey Squares, Shabby Rose Paper Collection, Christmas 2014 Paper Collection, designed by Chris Olsen

I just love the violets from The Lord Has Risen stamp set. It was fun to color with Copics and fussy cut. The sentiment panel was stamped and then embossed with the Darice Clouds embossing folder.

ODBD Stamps used: The Lord Has Risen, April Showers
ODBD Dies Used: Layered Lacey Squares, Umbrellas die
ODBD Paper Used: Christmas 2014 Paper Collection (polka- dotted piece and Umbrella), and Shabby Rose Paper Collection (2 strips)

Verse of the day: Matthew 25: 37“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments!! They truly are appreciated.

Blessings,
