Do your kids help you decorate for the seasons?

 

Several years ago my sons thought it was hysterical to make a bunny chain from the upstairs railing! Now every time I pull out these bunnies and fluff them up from their year cramped in storage, I giggle a little as I cherish this memory and the fun phase of life that was with all the boys careening from one activity to another. 

 

This Easter might be a bit quieter, but future ones may be even more frenzied. It's a good reminder to savor the current moments we're in and acknowledge that changes are simply part of the natural course of life.

Have more kids/grandkids coming over and want to do an Easter page with them?

Recap of our Spring Bible Quilt® Craft Night: Crosses on Stained Glass Page

We had so much fun creating with the Crosses on Stained Glass template together last night! Our families will be able to enjoy these pretty pages on display throughout the Easter season. This design, printed in the 2021 Month-by-Month Bible Quilt Journal and 2021 BQ April Calendar, is also available as a template combo set.

The days leading to Easter...

Even though Spring has gotten all gussied up with her pretty frock of pastel colors, I'll miss seeing little girls twirling just to see their new dresses whoosh about them in a gauzy blur. This Easter feels different...and that's okay. The message is the same: "He has risen!"

Using BQJ templates vertically | Biblequiltjournal.com

Do you have a planner or a journal that you're already using and would like to incorporate some Bible Quilt Journal templates, but the planner/journal you have is oriented vertically? I browsed through some of my printed templates and realized that several of them can immediately be used vertically!

Using STICKERS in your Bible Quilt Journal | Biblequiltjournal.com

If you've got a color printer and some full-page clear labels, you can make your own sticker sheets! Check out how vibrant the colors are in this Vintage Spring set from the Graphics Fairy! This are perfect for any spring BQJ pages you may be doing, especially our 31 Days of Renewal .

 

As we go through turbulent times, it's good to anchor in the Word. The template

 Jesus in the Storm gives you a place to gather verses.

Catching RAINBOWS!

Rainbows AND Washi, oh my! | Biblequiltjournal.com

The featured template for April in the Monthly Bible Quilt Journal is the Rainbow 2 . This is an excellent "excuse" to pull out all your colorful washi tape and have fun creating a cheerful rainbow page! You can fill each section of the rainbow with washi or alternate with colored pencil designs.

Post-it Promises

God used a rainbow as a very colorful reminder of His faithfulness to never flood the earth again. Let's do a rainbow post-it page!

April 2022 

 

Halfway through the month. How are your pages going?

 
Promises of God

For the latter part of the month, we have several days that cover the "I am" statements. Here's a sticker sheet to help you illustrate your BQ pages/flip cards!
