Easter is near!

I hope you are having a good Palm Sunday!! 

I made a couple of Easter card, although I was a bit confused about the colors that "fit" Easter. I know that pastel "springy" colors work, but I wanted to use some"stronger" colors. I am not good at coloring bunnies or eggs (maybe eggs are easier, though! :-) ) and my favorite Easter stamp was gone!  

On the other hand, I wanted to transmit the real message of Easter, the one that Jesus is risen!

I loved this Easter poem so much, that I really wanted to make a card with it!  :-)

As I said in a previous post, I borrowed my mother-in-law "no name" camera, that had a close-up option, and the pictures turned out better (I think!) than our "brand name" camera, with no close-up option! But I forgot to disable the date/time display again! I did it now, for the next batch! :-) But for these ones, you know exactly what I was doing on 2009/04/05 at 12:30! Ha ha :-)

~Thanks so much for looking!~

I am always trying to get better at card making, so I would appreciate if you left me a message, public or private, on how I can improve!
