Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share with you the insert we made for my Framed Art classes that I hold every month.  The concept is you leave the frame up, and put in a new insert each month!  So far, we have completed February, March, and now April.  I have also listed the recipe used to create this month’s insert at the end.

This is the insert in an 8 x 10 frame:

Now here is the insert in my 12 x 12 frame:

Here is a close-up of this square where I popped up the balloon and the head of the bunny with clouds that are sponged in – too cute!

Here is a close-up of the first square where I punched a circle in the Chocolate Chip square and then popped up the lily and pods through it.

Here is a close-up on the “He is Risen” square – so you have to “raise” up the lid to see what I put under it.. a little humor there….

Here is what is underneath the flap… I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral to create a sunrise scene and then stamped the cross from our fabulous Crosses of Hope set.

And just a few more pictures from some angles to show you all the popped up features on this fun insert:
