….today let’s talk about the Easter Scripture Countdown kits! We offer 2 different kinds: 1 is a PDF printable.
This kit includes a sheet of numbers 1-12 that are super handy for the countdown. And then, there are 2 scriptures (4×6 each) per 8×10 printable PDF page. All come in black so you can just pop some colored paper, cardstock, or patterned paper into your printer, hit PRINT & voila! You’ve got your countdown to work with! *tip: If you want these to be smaller, simply select a smaller % to print out…experiment: try 75% or 50%!
**Bonus: black PNG files, too! These are offered for anyone that needs to just drag & drop over something…or recolor! Super easy!
and the other is an ABR brush kit.
This kit offers 1 ABR brush file that you can load into Photoshop CS /or newer or Photoshop Elements 5/ or newer. **Great thing about brushes is you can resize them & simply select your desired color & stamp onto a blank canvas for printing, digital scrapbooks, over photos or on blogs. Also comes in black PNG files as mentioned above. Each scripture is included as are all the numbers!
So, I wanted to share some ideas here. These scriptures are all from the Bible & cover Jesus’ last week before He was resurrected. We have done this countdown as a tradition as a family since our oldest was about 1 1/2. We all look forward to it. It just really brings the true meaning of Easter into our home & we love it!
Since our earlier version of this countdown is ‘well loved’ it was time to make a new one! This year, I used the Brush kit & resized them to about 2.5″ x 4″ to fit onto a plain manila tag. I embellished them with the Easter Brushes & printed them on clear sticker paper. I cut them out, stuck them on the tags & then added doilies, flowers, jewels, & some of the Easter papers cut out with a scalloped punch! I chose the manila tags this year so I could hang them on our chalkboard wall dangling from blossom branches!
We start on the Sunday before Easter- Palm Sunday & this is #8. Each day we countdown to Day 1…Easter Sunday. We choose the number coordinating with the scripture, read it together & enjoy the celebRation that takes place in our home as we are thinking about what Christ was doing the last week leading up to His miraculous resurrection.
There are so many different things you can do with this kit!
I love what Heidi did with this project! It’s so creative! Notice all of the fabulous details to really celebRate this countdown! …..printing on the Easter papers, sanding edges, using transparency for the numbers, jewels, butterfies, ribbons, flowers…all in a fantastic frame! Sheer genius…again! Love it, Heidi!
So, here’s to day 3….create your own Easter Scripture Countdown! Try it with your own spin on it…We can’t wait to see your projects! enjoy your process!

It’s rare in todays world to combine religion with anything let alone scrapbooking but you girls are ‘brave’ enough to go there-a BIG hand to you! After all, Easter is about Jesus not just the bunny! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing the love of Jesus with us. Isn’t the love of Jesus something wonderful. That is actually a song that we sing at our church and has great meaning. Au Revoir and God Bless!

Hey, that was without a doubt an interesting read. I had actually been looking for a photo printing related article for a while now. Appreciate it! Do you offer a subscription service? because I can’t seem to locate the details anywhere.

I am really not too familiar with this subject but I do like to visit blogs for layout ideas and interesting topics. You really described a subject that I usually don’t care much about and made it very exciting. This is a unique blog that I will take note of. I already bookmarked it for future reference. Cheers

This is often a pretty decent blog page. I have already been back several times during the last 7 days and wish to sign up for your rss implementing Google but find it difficult to understand the right way to do it exactly. Do you know of any instructions?
