Grieving, praying and hoping

Today is a tragic day for families and love ones. My heart is heavy with pain for them. I grieve for the families that lost their precious ones today. It hits so close to home with my little ones being 7, 5 and 4. I watched them come off the bus today laughing and racing to the front door with tears in my eyes. I think they thought I was crazy when I started hugging and kissing on them.

My heart cries out, Father why?!?! So with tears,I am praying for the moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, may God's love wrap them up tonight. May peace that passes all understanding be with them. May the knowledge that they are hugging our Father right now, somehow comfort them. May the Holy Spirit minister to their hearts, minds and souls. May our tears not be shed in vain.

I am hoping that good will come out of this. That people will see the blessings that they have in their children. May families draw closer to one another. May the cares of this world not separate us from the love of our Father and the love of each other.

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Building Block Graduation Card

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 ...
