Jesus is the Reason blog hop April 7-9

Welcome to another "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" blog hop!  Last time our little group of friends gathered to hop, we were celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. And now, we celebrate the true meaning of Easter!!    Christ's ultimate sacrifice on the cross, showing His amazing love...for each and everyone of us!  Thank you Jesus!!!

If you've arrived here from Kelly's blog, you're right on track!  It you would like to read all the hop details & prizes, you'll want to start at the beginning, Heather's blog!!

Personally, when I think of what Jesus did on the cross, that he loved me that much, enough to sacrifice his life to give me a life of victory...leading me to triumph in every situation...I can easily live each day for Him!!

Stamps: SU! so many sayings (celebrate life) rubber

Doodle Pantry (amazing love) digi

Paper: SU! kraft cs, vintage music sheet

Other: MS punch, wooden cross, CB embossing folder, 

DecoArt gold paint,  Offray ribbon, MS pearls.

We would like to invite you to celebrate with us by posting your own creation celebrating Christ's Resurrection.  There is a place to link it on Catherine's blog!

You next stop is Sammi's blog!

Praying peace, joy and much love over you!
Blessings!

Hopping Order, April 7-9th!

Easter cards.........it worked!

Yeah!!!! Here are the Easter cards! It worked this time.......enjoy.

These are the cards I made for the kids. A lovely, generous neighbor (Hi BB) allowed me to use some of her Easter DP and stamp set. The bunny/grass set I believe is a retired SU and the bunny w/basket is Hanna Stamp's Spring Time set.
