Hello friends!  I hope your having a fabulous weekend so far!!! I thought I share with you this simple wall decor piece. I hope all of you have a happy and blessed Easter!  For this project I used the Gypsy Font (basic and monogram) for the words and the Easter 2010 Cart for the cross.  Even though is not visible the paper has a beautiful texture and it contrasts beautifuly with the burlap on the background. It looks so much better in person ;-)  entering the following challenges: Exploring cricut, Easter DL ART March Linky party Simon Says Stamps and Show: Quotable Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.”   Pope John Paul II quotes ( Polish Pope . 1920 - 2005 ) As always Thank you for taking time to stop by, have a Happy Easter and a blessed day!
