Challenge Word #1: Hope

By
Our first word of 2010 is... HOPE! I thought this was very fitting. I have a lot of hopes for 2010 for me, my family, my church, my friends.

Hope is...

one of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor. 13:13). It is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing or possessing (Rom. 8:24; 1 John 3:2). "Hope is an essential and fundamental element of Christian life, so essential indeed, that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence of Christianity (1 Pet. 3:15; Heb. 10:23)." Unbelievers are without this hope (Eph. 2:12; 1 Thess. 4:13). Christ is the actual object of the believer's hope, because it is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled (1 Tim. 1:1; Col. 1:27; Titus 2:13). It is spoken of as "lively", i.e., a living, hope, a hope not frail and perishable, but having a perennial life (1 Pet. 1:3).

Easton's Bible Dictionary




I used....
-A Child's Year cart for the word hope
-Sweethearts cart for the tag with flower cut out
-paper was given to me so I don't know the brand
-silver glitter glue on the border, butterflies and word
-For the butterfly... when I cut the paper down to 8x8, I cut out an extra butterfly from the paper and used a pop dot to layer on top of the butterfly that was printed on the page.

    Hi Sandy...What a pretty page! I love the butterfly paper and what you did with the one butterfly. I did the same thing with a flower on my Hope page but it's more effective with your butterfly!...Nancy :o)

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
