Friday night crop

Last night I went to Paper Niche for the Friday night crop. I challenged myself to take paper that required to think "outside the box". I managed to make a layout and two wall plaques. I did not have any pictures to put in the layout but hopefully I will take some good ones this weekend as we plan to spend it with the kids in Tampa.
How many times are we afraid to step into the unkown just because it is an unfamiliar territory? "Do not fear for I am always with you" are the words of my Saviour for us today.

Divine colors!

Oh... those soft greens, pinks and blues...I love them all!
Someone at work told me that I was "autumn". She is an avid fan of a book called "color me beautiful" where the author teaches you what colors are best for you. She said that I look best in colors someone would see in a desert: greens, beiges, browns, blues like the sky. I was fascinated by this and started following her advice. Sure enough, people started complementing me about my colors! Thank you Claudia! Thank you Lord for creating colors and for giving us eyes to see them! May I always delight in your creation and never, ever take it for granted!

The meaning of Easter

The meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ's victory over death. His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him. The meaning of Easter also symbolizes the complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught during His three-year ministry. If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected, He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi. However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He was really the Son of God and that He had conquered death once and for all.

Today, the meaning of Easter, for million of Christians, is that of honoring and recognizing Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promises of eternal life for all who believe in Him.

Thank you my dear Lord for dying for me and for giving me eternal life.

Seasons with the cricut

I love my cricut! Specially when I want to make a page about the season or holiday we are celebrating. I made lots and lots of the nativity scene ones over Christmas and I had many people buying them to give away as a present. Each layout has over 60 pieces. It was fun! I will post some other ones later on. Today is a great day, let us rejoice and be glad, for the Lord is good!
