I loved Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch this week as the large circle provided endless opportunities. Of course, I jumped at the chance to take the sketch literally and used a snowflake.Dug into my I Believe MME papers again and used this fun paper. Just love this Verve Plain Jane sentiment. Yes, you guessed right - that big, bold "joy" is what I love about it. I over stamped the cross as Christmas and Easter go hand in hand. Though Easter is not as "pleasant" a celebration, it brings me great joy through the proclamation of prophecies and promises fulfilled. The joy keeps pouring in :)
Rest of the card is self expalanatory. Hang in there with the snowflakes...soon enoguh it will be hearts, hearts and more hearts wink, wink!
Wishing you great joy today!
