Dear Friend

Good afternoon. I'd like to share with you a lovely feminine card that I made that sold in my Etsy Shoppe that I really need to update!

God bless you and Today's Treasure is John 6:25-59.

Don't forget that in celebration of the Risen Christ, Christian Paper Crafts is having an open Resurrection Week registration starting tomorrow through April 27. We'd love to have you join us and become a part of our Christ-centered community where Jesus is our Lord and fellowship with hundreds of women who truly love the Lord and paper, who will pray for you, help you carry your burdens, and we are all truly sisters in Christ. You'll love our camaraderie and everything about Christian Paper Crafts! Come on inside!

For other exciting personal news for me, check back within the next few weeks as I'm being the featured designer for a great stamp company that I love, I'm back designing for Paper Maniac and will be posting projects on the Paper Maniac Inspiration Blog every Saturday, and yet another new design team position starting on June 1 with a stamp company that we all know and love. I will also be showcasing you more projects using my Cricut too! I have been truly blessed.
