Paper Temptress Easter Card
The image is printed on Heavenly white, the background is diecut from heavy duty wonderfully thick based Lemondrop 100 pound cardstock. I die cut them with Lifestyles (formerly Quickkutz dies); I added some great punched borders using from loose paper leftovers (that's why we always save those cutoffs) in Neenah, punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

Lili of the Valley
Half the prizes from last week's blog candy have been mailed--Snoopy, Rhonda, and Angelicawa (Karissa)--your goodies are in the mail! The rest will go out soon...if you need to send me your address, htondre@aol.com You can see who won on Friday's posting to check if you were a winner!!
I was sitting in the back of church on Sunday because I was operating the computer (that projects the words onto the screen for the congregation) and had a church member come up to me right before service. Her eyes were a bit watery and she told me that she lost her son (in the mid 80s) because of his Epilepsy and seizures. That when she heard what was happening to me she prayed very much for me. I of course hugged her and thanked her dearly and let her know that I was doing wonderfully and just celebrated 2 years post surgery. I am so glad that people can see what happened to me and that medical technology is there and changing all the time and God gives miracles all the time.

Guest Artists
This ATC was made by Carolyn, whose blog is Luv My Cards (Click here to see), she designs for Scrapbook Place and won goodies during my month long fun contest! She and I were in a Chocolate theme blog hop recently and she sent me this ATC, what a delight!Here's another amazing card that I got as a wonderful Thank You card for the treats she received from getting some Blog Candy. This was from designer Tammy Hair, her blog is Tammy's Spot (Click here). Her work is just amazing. I am sure it is no surprise that this artist works on a bunch of wonderful design teams. You have to check out her blog, her coloring is amazing.
Here's another card I received from artist Sherry Brown (www.patternsbysher.blogspot.com), she's on the same design team I am, Addicted to Stamps, and here's a great image from them that she used to make me a wonderful thank you card. Awe, thanks so much!!
The adorable stamp she is using comes from Addicted to Stamps of the Scrapbook Stamp Society website. Too cute!
Thanks so much ladies for sending me wonderful art to brighten my day! Cheers, Holley

Angel Baby
This card is also being featured on the Paper Temptress blog today using their stunning papers including the Heavenly White that I printed the image on. The wonderful blue is called Blu Raspberry. The brown is a wonderful textured ruche called Cocoa Crepe. The "printed" paper (per the challenge requirements) is this luxurios white shimmery paper in the background which has a stunning texture and will absorb ink and show any color beautifully, it also is great for stamping on. However, I just had a handful a small slivers of it, which was PERFECT for this card, so I whipped out my punch and used it here. (This is why I always save those edges of that special paper!). That paper is called, Vintage Silver Lustre. There's a coupon code you can use in the right hand column with a link to the Paper Temptress store!
Hope this card inspires you to create something fun for the Squigglefly Challenge this week. You can check out their store for a freebie and play in this week's contest.

You and Me
Here's a close up of the image I added a very light hint of blue on the feathers of the wings to give the shading but to still keep the coloring very light and airy. I think this close up also lets you see some of the shimmer on the background paper that is very visible when you see the actual card in person.
