This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

I decided not to go over the top this year with Easter, because I think that my kids are already too spoiled. I got them each one $5 toy and I bought a big bag of peanut butter M&M's and separated it into plastic eggs for them to do an egg hunt. Then we dyed some easter eggs to eat for breakfast and just hung out together for the rest of the day. The egg dyeing was a lot more fun this year because my kids participated more and it was less just my hubby and I doing it and way more the kids being really hands on. It was a fun, relaxing day. I am glad I did it this way. We had a lot of fun being together and my kids were not too hyper.
