Easter Crosses

I had so much fun last night and today making these crosses.  When I viewed the template and sample of the Wedge-Base Cross on Paper Crafters Sampler (designed by Melanie Schulenberg) and saw that there was a free download of the cross template, I knew that I had to make these for Easter gifts to give my family.  Then it dawned on me that my upline was having a group meeting today, so I decided to make one for each member attending the downline meeting.    I have a ton (figuratively speaking) of retired Designer Series Paper that I have been trying to get rid of and thought this was the perfect project for that paper.  The roses are made from current Stampin' UP! cardstock and In Colors. 

I began working on the crosses and roses last night.  I took my samples to our monthly Coffee and Craft Group meeting this morning and the leader fell in love with them.  All four of her children are being baptized tomorrow and she asked if I would make four of them for her and I said that I would.  All in all, I made nine crosses for today's downline meeting, have four to make for our craft group leader, one to make for myself and one for my mother-in-law and one for my oldest daughter,

Each cross has a personality of its own and no two are alike.  I just love the way they all turned out.   If you want the template, hop on over to papercrafterssampler.com and download it to your computer.  Thank you Melanie for sharing your design with others.  This is truly one project that I will repeat.  Also, it was hard to decide which crosses to upload so I uploaded several.

Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.













When I finish the four for Ms. Catalina, I will share those with you too.
