Happy Easter

By
I love Easter!!! It is a holiday I look forward to, a holiday of new beginnings and new life. Most importantly, it is the remembrance of the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most pivotal time in christian history. Luke 22-24 accounts the events that led up to the cross, the cross and the glory of his resurrection.

If you study the history of these times, it is easy to see how unfairly he was treated:

He went through an unfair trial in our place so that we didn't have to go through a fair trial and receive the well-deserved punishments for our sins.

With my kiddos being 3 1/2 yrs, 2 yrs and 6 months, I want to start our own traditions and I want the focus to be on Jesus and not the Easter bunny. We did get them their baskets and outfits for church. I have candy galore in the cupboard (please pray for me... how many points in a chocolate egg?!?! LOL) I have the kit to color the eggs with Jesus stickers (Jessica's term). I also bought a children's book about Easter and Jesus to read to them on Sunday morning.

Now my question is how are you "seasoned mama's" sharing this with you little ones? What are the family traditions you celebrate this day?

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.

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
