The cute little Easter Basket if from the Silhouette store.
It takes awhile to cut, and you have to have your patience in tow when you
assemble it.  However, the final look is just stunning.
I was able to get the best cut on a 12 by 12 piece of white scrapbook page from Pioneer.
This larger cut size will hold tons of treats, for my photo I stuck in two Reese's Eggs and there
is plenty of room to spare.

Easter Week

My favorite Holiday has come quickly this year, I wonder if it is because our winter was so timid it passed quickly?  Anyhow, this year I will be sharing with you this week what Jesus did during the days preceding the Crucifixion.


Sunday he entered Jerusalem Matthew 21 1-11

Jesus speaks to two disciples telling them
"Say to the Daughter of Zion, See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey"  Matthew 21:5

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Matthew 21:9


Monday Jesus was at the Temple Matthew 21 12-17

A different version however, it drives the point home.  My older girls need to see this.

enraged at the buying and selling he started overturning tables and benches.

"My house will be called a house of prayer.   But, you are making it a den of robbers" says Jesus

John 2:15
so he made a whip out of cords and drove them out of the temple area

After the cleansing of the temple Jesus began the healing of the blind and the sick.

Jesus than left for Bethany where he spent the night.

You know this part of Easter is disturbing to me when Jesus shows a temper first in the temple than directed towards the fig tree he withered for life. 
 Like you are stripped somewhat of your childlikeness naivete of a loving God at this moment in the gospels.  
I am not God "Fearing" in the  manner as the artist depicts above.  

God Bless!

Rising He JUSTIFIED....


...Freely FOREVER!
On the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. 

One day he is coming!
May God Bless your life this Glorious Easter Sunday.  Amen.

He Descended into Hell...

As I am finishing up this post tonight the sky has become dark with some awesome clouds and the sunset shining through at the horizon.  Amazingly strange and Beautiful at the same time.



And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.  At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.  The earth shook and the rocks split.  The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.  They came out of the tombs... 
Matthew 27:50-53


I believe in God the Father Almighty 
maker of heaven and Earth.
       And in Jesus Christ his only 
     son our Lord.


who was conceived by the Holy 
Spirit,
and born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was 
buried.
He descended into hell.
I will meet you back here on Easter Sunday to celebrate our Risen Saviour.  God Bless.

Good Friday



He humbled Himself and carried the cross...


LOVE so AMAZING
the RESCUE for SINNERS
the RANSOM from HEAVEN

JESUS MESSIAH!







The Pieta by Michelangelo
St. Peter's Basilica Rome
Jesus in the lap of his Mother Mary



Last Year's Via Dolorosa Post can be found {HERE}  Yes, this is still my favorite song of the season;)




As you stand before the cross remember that Jesus' worst day was was carried out with AMAZING love for you and me.  
I will meet you back here Sunday to celebrate our
risen Lord.
God Bless.

Maundy Thursday


Last years post on Maundy Thursday  clearly hands down gets the most page hits here at Sara's Creative Adventures.  How exciting is that?  I Love it!

For Holy week this day gets pushed to the back compared to Good Friday or Easter Sunday.  (In my Opinion.)  
So what is Maundy Thursday?...


The Last Supper is where Jesus first held the Holy Communion

"Maundy" translates to commandment.  Jesus tells his disciples, "to love with humility by serving one another and to remember his sacrifice."

Each disciple asked Jesus this question, "could I be the one to betray you, Lord"?

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.

Jesus sweat turns to drops of blood as he is in the Garden praying.
God sent an angel to Jesus in the garden.
All Jesus' disciples could do was sleep they were of no help and soon they walked away from him.

Judas Betrays Jesus.

Jesus is arrested by Roman Soldiers.


Here is a video Basin and Towel by Michael Card...

And that is Maundy Thursday My Friends.  
May God bless you and your family during this Easter Season.

Easter/Friends= Inspired

My wonderful friend Chris sent me the beautiful card you see below stuffed with some Amuse BW dp and a sketch for the week. I was so excited and happy to play along in fact, this is the only creative thing I have done in WEEKS! Feels great to be cutting up some photos and yummy paper;)
You can find Chris' challenge here at Inspired Crafters blog and see more from Chris on her blog here.

So here is my page totally inspired by the dp I used and Little J's Easter dress...


Okay, so you gotta love stuff that sits and sits but still works wonderfully when you need it. Case in point my photo printer...had to wipe the dust off before it could be used (I do need to hunt up the directions to see how to edit with it I have totally forgotten how to use all the functions) but it worked and I printed off the pic I wanted to use. You can also see another photo of little J that did not make it onto the page, she is so darn CUTE! Want the full run down of the Easter Story she can tell you, I should record her it is wonderful. I have started doing things different in my craft space took months for DH to arrange it for me and the girls to organize it but we are there and I will show pics soon for you. I have started sorting out matching stuff before I get crafty in this pic you see dp Grandmas Kitchen with matching card stock from Papertrey. I also put a basket together of matching accessories wow, this system sure works well for me!

Easter Cards


I have my Easter Cards finished and ready to go in the mail what a wonderful feeling. I also took this card to a shoebox swap last week we had lots of fun. Here is how it was made, the background I used Homespun plaid with Regal Rose, then I stamped the circle using Celery blotted once, the Bunny is stamped in celery also. Then I set up my type stamps to say Happy Easter in a circle and stamped it in Regal Rose. Next you layer cardstock, ad some ribbon and you have one fun Easter card.
