Here's another little tidbit that will eventually become part of my Easter mantle, and I'm making it available to you too as a free printable! He has risen!
I had started playing around with word art in Picasa after reading about how easy it is. Picasa, word art? How did I not know this? Me, who's been using Picasa ever since it was released! I guess it's a little like me and smart phones - I only use what I need and tune out everything else. And like smart phones and when I discovered Angry Birds, I'm loving this new (to me) feature in one of my favorite free tools!
So, in the midst of eggs and bunnies and springtime grasses and flowers, let's take a moment to remember the reason behind THIS season - that He died for us, and because of His resurrection, we will also be made alive!
You can download the PDF of the printable HERE or here at Google Docs.
[UPDATE!] - I am amazed and overwhelmed with the feedback I've gotten on this little project, so I finally "opened" my Etsy shop, and am listing this print in customizable colors and sizes! Thank you so much for brightening my day with your lovely comments!


Thank you so much for visiting me! I love your printable...it is so elegant! Have a lovely weekend! Angie xo -ps, where did you find those pretty Easter eggs?
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!! It's going on my mantel! If I do a post I'll be sure to let you know so you can see your awesome Picasa work out in the world!

Lovely Word art! Stopping by for the first and looking forward to perusing more of your posts :)
ReplyDeleteKindly, Lorraine
Love this! I'm a new follower and would love to have you stop by my brand new blog and follow, too:)
ReplyDeleteI love this! The real reason for Easter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.I love the style of doing these words.
ReplyDeleteFound you through someday crafts.
Regards,
Ruby
I love it when seasonal decor is not only cute, but also spiritual. Well Done!
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks for the Picasa Tip... I too am a long time user and had no idea they offered word art!!
Okay, so maybe I'm blind... but I can only find the edit button that links into the soon to be closing Picnik site. Is there another way to edit in Picasa other than Picnik?
DeleteThanks for the feedback. After downloading the newest version of Picasa (mine version was eons old) I am now able to access a plethora of editing functions. WOWZERS!!! I am no longer sad about Picnik closing - because it's all basically been built into the new Picasa!!!!!
DeleteSeriously excited- please tell all your readers to download the newest version of Picasa!!! :-)
Ok, excitement retracted.... the newest Picasa 3.9.5 version automatically uploads EVERY SINGLE PHOTO on your computer..... I'm not sure if I'm okay with that... I feel a little exposed
DeleteSorry for filling up your comment thread, but I thought you' all should know :-(
I love this printable. I've been thinking about decorating for Spring, and this would be a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love, love this! It is beautiful and it is perfect for Easter. He has Risen INDEED!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. Thanks for making it and sharing for free. :-)

I think it's cool that you are doing this, I do have one issue though - could you fix the gap between the g and the e in angel?
ReplyDeleteThe "angel" is one word, so the gap is there by default with the font being used. Sorry!
Deletedid you print this as an 8X10? I absolutely love it and thank you so much for sharing it. =0) Kelly
ReplyDeleteI printed this on normal printer paper and cut it to fit an 8x10 frame. I'm so glad you like it!
DeleteI thought it was an 8X10 but wanted to couble check. Thanks so much for the quick answer. =0)
DeleteI didn't know that Picasa did this either! What a lovely - and meaningful - creation!
ReplyDeletethank you...just printed and displayed...i love it!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely sentiment of Easter's true meaning. I'm visiting via Pinterest. Marann
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for creating and sharing this wonderful print. I love decorating for holidays, but get a bit sad when the cutsie covers the true meaning. I can't wait to add this to my Easter decor.
ReplyDeleteI Love the printable! I too had no idea about Picasa did this type of thing. Many thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love Scripture! Sandy
ReplyDeleteDo you know if I can download this to a Mac?
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about Macs, but the download is for a PDF file, so I am assuming that Macs can handle PDFS, since it is a cross platform file type.
DeletePDF files can easily be opened on a Mac. I do it all of the time.
ReplyDeleteLove this, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI found you through Angie's blog Messy Cars and Muddy Shoes. Thanks so much for sharing, you are very generous : ) I will use this (with a link to your site) to wish everyone a Happy Easter on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks again and a Blessed Easter to you and your loved ones,
Doreen
I love this, thanks so much for it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing....Yesterday was Easter, however I am going to put this in my file for next year....Will make a nice gift!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteIs this still available as a free printable? When I try to "download & print" from Scribd it says I have to be a premium reader....
ReplyDeleteIt's so great!
Can it be emailed? I love it but am not a subscriber to Scribd and I would have to pay for a subscription.
ReplyDeletemelamitch72@gmail.com
I'm also wondering if you still have this available for free somewhere - I'd have to pay $9 to subscribe in order to print it. I pinned this after Easter last year and would have printed it then if I knew it wouldn't be free anymore - it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I don't want to pay for Scribd. Do I have to buy from your etsy store now? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think Scribd is still free if you upload something, but I've put the printable on Google Docs as well. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3WgFfNc1YfrS041RDkxckViZ0k/edit?usp=sharing
DeleteThis is wonderful. Thank you!
