Easter and Thanks

I made the card below for last week's Card Patterns sketch 104, but just forgot to post it. I used my latest Christ is Risen set and Basic Grey Curio papers.
Nina Sketch 104
I made this card below for the Paper Crafts Magazine's Sketch for Card Makers call. I got two cards in that publication, but this one didn't make it. This was one of my favorites because I love quilts (but don't have the skills or patience to create a real one :-). The sentiment is from my Nana's Needlework Sentiments and papers by October Afternoon. This was based on sketch #77. You can download all the sketches HERE. And I'm not sure if it qualifies, but I'm entering it to Moxie Fab's Paper Piecing Challenge.

This is also perfect for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ current challenge. I think every other card I make qualifies for their challenge because I just love buttons :-). I especially love the short lesson on the names of God in the Bible found in the SSIC post. What a great reminder of the Great God we serve!
Thanks Sew Much
Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Nina, your cards are gorgeous. I cannot believe your first card didn't get picked up by PC! Wowzers, it's fabulous! Love the second card too - it is 'sew' much fun! I've made a few quilts, but like you, I really don't have the patience for it! Hugs!!!

    Nina both your cards are beautiful as always! I love the first one and like Patti, can't believe it didn't get picked up but you just never know what they are looking for do you? LOVE your quilt card and what a perfect background for our button challenge! Thanks for joining us at Stampin Sisters in Christ!

    Hello Nina - it is always a blessing to me to see you at SSIC - and what gorgeous cards! I agree with Patti and Grace - I am amazed your first card was not picked up by PC - their loss!! It is divine! I love your SSIC card too - I always admire the way you use buttons - I love them but am not good with them! LOL! Love this Nina! Thank you for playing along with us at the Stampin'Sisters in Christ Challenge this week - we love to see you an appreciate your support! {{{hugs}}}

    Just love both of these cards. The crowns & cross and colors are so beautiful in the first, and being a sewer, I just love the quilting effect and colors of the second one. Fabulous!
    The first card should of been published, sorry it didn't make it.
