9-11 Honored–FREE FILES

A note from Melin…

Good morning Crafty friends,

I hope you are all doing well. I got up early this morning and like so many of us Americans, my thoughts went to the significance  of this day….9-11 ten years ago…First…It is so hard to believe it has been 10 years already. Time certainly is going by so fast. Second, the stories and shows are just so heart wrenching and yet we are compelled to watch. I think mostly because they are truly stories about people just like you and me. Seemingly ordinary people who survived or sacrificed with and in such extra ordinary circumstances.



Whether you believe the governments “explanation” of the 911 events, believe it was a “false flag” or believe some of the “conspiracy theories” surrounding this event to be true…And whether you believe it was God’s hand of judgment upon our nation for our rebellion or disobedience or if you believe that it was an act by some well funded and very evil minded terrorists…..In my humble opinion…the bottom line…The Lord…YHVH…Yeshua Ha Mashiach…Jesus Christ Our Messiah, Lord and Savior…is trying to get our attention. As a people, nation and as individuals.



In the 10 years since this event that changed the course of our nation, we have seen the fabric of our society shredded and become more hurtful for everyone. I truly, truly believe that in times like this, while we still have a society and while we are still functioning as a nation that it is imperative for those who are called Christians to take a stand and humbly admit our faults and beseech the Lord for His Chesed…(mercy and grace). I am personally so moved by the knowledge that our God…THE GOD that our country was founded on has given us the key to remedy our situation….Prayer…and action…



2 Chronicles 7:14-15
If my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears will pay attention to the prayer made in this place.



He is only asking a few things from us…
Humble Ourselves
Pray, Seek His Face
TURN from our Evil Ways



Then He has PROMISED….
He will hear from Heaven
Forgive Our Sins
Heal Our Land



WOW!!!! What a tremendous promise from our great King!  So I simply ask those of you who…ARE called by HIS name… to please consider doing the three things that He has asked in exchange for the promises.



So in honor of 9-11, I made these couple of files to share with everyone. I hope that you will be able to use them and that they will remind you of our responsibility as BIBLE BELIEVING, JUDEO-CHRISTIANS. To God alone…YHVH..The ONE, TRUE GOD…be ALL the GLORY…Forever and Ever….AMEN!

SOPHOMORE LAYOUT

Here is a photo of the entire layout. I see so many layouts out there for elementary aged school students. It seems a bit harder to find layouts and ideas for our “older” school-aged kids. So I purposely made this layout with my daughter who is a sophomore this year in mind.

Close up of the left page. You can see the Colored Vellum Quote “Dream On” that I used as well as the strip of “scatter joy” from the Miss Morgan 400 Designer Paper.


Here is a close up the right page.


Here is a close up of the vellum quote I used.

Techniques & Tips
I used the Miss Morgan 400 paper to cut out the “Scatter Joy” strip and the “Spread Your Wings”.. quotes. I also cut out the Memories to place inside the book bag.


Here are the products I used for the Sophomore Layout:

Techniques & Tips
I used the Midnight Confessions and Mocha Mama powder puff chalk inks to ink around the edges of the “green-aqua” side of the box. I also used a q-tip to “draw” the vein of the leaf in with the same chalk ink.

Here are the products that I used to create the Apple Box Project:

CWC #50 School Days

Good afternoon crafty friends! Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday Challenge here at CookingWithCricut.com. We are so happy you have decided to “surf” by and join us! This week’s challenge theme is:

School Dayz

With school back in full swing, we want to see your wonderful projects commemorating your loved ones “days of….Readin’, Writin’ and ‘Rithmatic…lol!



Before we get to our design team’s inspiration, I wanted to remind everyone that with the beginning of school comes….national SYATP!  For those that may not know, SYATP stands for….SEE YOU AT THE POLE! It is the last Wednesday this month and it is a day set aside for students to meet at their school’s flagpole and pray for their schools, communities and country!  This year’s theme:

Here is a video link from SYATP

I really just want to take a moment to encourage you to get involved and PRAY. Get your children involved and if you have grandchildren, get them involved too! If you don’t have any school aged-kids in your life, I am sure you know someone who does or a teacher, school worker, etc. Our schools and children need all the prayer they can get!

So now on to our Design Team’s Inspiration.
