Creating for Christ 2024

What a blessing it was to organize another Creating for Christ event this year.

This is a unique and special class that I've been doing annually for quite a few years now.

It started out of a desire to share with other women a bit of my spiritual journey and the freedom of understanding that I was created to be in relationship with God and created to enjoy the many blessings in my life...such as crafting.

Early in my crafting journey I carried a sense of shame and guilt about my enjoyment of stamping. I felt I should use my time in more "honourable" pursuits like spending time with my kids, serving others, doing productive things like laundry or cleaning the house.

Through a journey of prayer and discovery, I came to understand that taking time for myself to craft and enjoy was in fact a gift and a blessing and an act of worship too!

I was excited to share that with other women and organized a Creating for Christ event.

Since then, each year there seems to be a new learning that I'm eager to share with others so every year another Creating for Christ event arrived.

We even did one during the pandemic over zoom! (See the recap blog post on that one HERE)

This year's theme was

"Come to Me"

Based around this passage:

'Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”'

Matthew 11:28-30

It's impossible to share the vibe of the experience over a blog post but here's a few photos!

Grateful for the ladies who helped make this experience extra special.

I know it takes resources such as time and money to attend this event but I know the investment was worth it.

An Easter treat box

Yesterday was a great day!

We were having some friends over for dinner and I had it in my mind I wanted to make little table favours for everyone.

I got the box template from my fellow friend and demonstrator Brenda Quintana.

This box has a little hole inside to hold a cadbury easter egg chocolate

You can see Brenda's blog post about it HERE

I'll see if I can find time to do a video myself but in the meantime, here's some photos of my design

It was so satisfying to make all the cute little boxes!

I found that the Hello Irresistible DSP coordinated quite nicely with the now gone Dandy Designs DSP from Saleabration.

I love that there's a little spot to git the Easter Egg inside

I'm using retiring colour Pale Papaya along with the retiring open weave coordinating pale papaya ribbon. The Layering Circles dies are retiring as well! As of today, those items are still available but could disappear at any time.

Last chance really means last chance!

The pretty open weave ribbon is on discount too!

We had a wonderful dinner last night and I was pretty proud of my cute little creations!

I'll pop the supply list below. Thanks for dropping in!
