Hello Everyone! I recently got back from a week in Cornwall, England. It was SO wonderful to take a break, reset and refresh. I have a second camera now, so I can film a second angle in my online courses and I decided to take it along with me and film a bit of my trip and also show you through the Bible journaling travel supplies I took with me! You don’t have to take everything you own, to have a great selection of options on the go.
I tend to rotate which Bible journaling travel supplies I take on any trip. You need a way to add color, a way to sketch out and pen your ideas and then random things you’re in the mood for on that trip. My rule is that it must fit inside my travel bag. Anything heavy and I’m likely to not actually use it because of the effort to lug it around.
On your next trip, pre-page prep a few pages to give yourself some “options” on the road and then grab a way to add color, basics like brushes, pens, pencils and erasers, and then whatever you’re in the mood for at the time! I took extra pens and brushes to practice hand-lettering. You could take stickers, washi tape, or anything… that fits in your small travel bag. 🙂 And, of course… your Bible! I didn’t film mine in this video but clearly you need it, or an art journal to create in.
I’ve linked my Bible journaling travel supplies below and with that, I’ll leave you with the video, so I can get back to filming this upcoming course I’m working on! 🙂
So, 2 questions to chat about in the comments…
- What Bible journaling travel supplies are a MUST when you go away? I don’t wanna hear that you pack everything you own. haha
- What place would be your favorite place to go on vacation? I’ve been blessed to see some amazing places, but Italy and France are on my bucket list.
Let’s connect in the comments below!

The sound didn’t come through with the video about travel kit.

I’m sorry that happened Pauline. It is working for me. Sometimes YouTube has a mind of its own. Perhaps try watching on a different devise, or simply reloading the page again. x

Rebekah, thank you for sharing your pictures of England! I’ve been praying for your country lately, so I was so excited to see your beautiful pics!
We are from Texas. East Texas where God has placed many lakes, streams, and beautiful Pine trees!
My husband and I love to go to the mountains in Arkansas. We love to go in the fall and see the amazing colors God splashes all over the trees here! We check into a lodge and relax! I take lots of pictures of wildlife, sunsets, sunrises, cliffs, trees, and, of course, my husband! Sometimes a few selfies of us both with the mountains in the background.
God bless you!! Love, Dottie

Wow!!! That’s a lot of artwork supplies to take along for your adventure! Thankful you could get away to be refreshed!

What a fun video, I am so happy you got away with hubby for a time of refreshing. I have a makeup organizer bag I use for my travel supplies. I pack the pens, pencils, erasers and usuals, but then also Watercolor pencils (so I can use them wet or dry) a water brush, travel wipes, a piece of freezer paper that I can use for a palette or to protect the table, and washi tape. I use the little plastic things meant for embroidery floss to put a yard or so of my favorites on, then keep several of those on a ring. It is a cute little decoration on my bag.
Thanks for sharing your life and worship with us.

Thank you for sharing…this was very informative. When I travel…I usually take my Derwent small (24) pencil set, and water brushes and my micron pen set…my bible and a small sketch book. My Derwent pencils are my favs…so they are always a must. But recently I bought a small (10) set of the Neocolor crayons…and I LOVE them so that may have to come with me next time

This was great to watch, we are going on vacation soon to visit the inlaws and go to a missionary conference and tent camp with the family. My favourite place to go is to visit my parents in New Zealand.
I definitely thought that my inktense pencils were the one must have, but now I think my distress crayons might be the ones I take.
I do think that whatever ends up coming will be used, when you have very little to work with you make it happen. It’s how I started journaling and what I did with the first few weekly original series videos. I think your creativity gets stretched when you have to work with what you have.

Cornwall is absolutely gorgeous! Loved the new video! I am new to Bible Art Journaling, but I just returned home from a trip to see some family in Texas. I actually took my journaling bible, sketchbook, pencils, erasers, micron pens in various sizes, colored pencils and washi tape. That was all I had room for, because I am a “kitchen sink” packer when it comes to clothes. Thanks for sharing what you take on vacation. 🙂

Thank you so much, very helpful! I am about to go on a mission trip to Germany and have been thinking on the packing issue. I can’t imagine leaving my journal stiff behind! So this really helped.
Jul 22, 2016 @ 12:06 am
Oh! Have a wonderful time! Germany is beautiful.

I would love to go to Hawaii and what supplies I take are my prismacolor pencils and steadtler pens. I’m glad you had a wonderful vacation! May God continue to bless you and your family. Looking forward to your coming videos. Thanks for sharing the beautiful sceneries.

Dreaming of a trip to Maine, or Alaska.
My travel supplies include the Pental Aquash Brushes, water color pencils, 7 various sizes of Micron pens. I love to stamp and use mixed media in my faith art journal, so if I have room, I’ll pack some basic neutral inks, and versital stamps like swirlies, flowers and doodles.

Thank you for all that you share! I really appreciate it and both my teenage daughters are too!
In answer to your questions….#1. I love my Schmincke watercolors and my Derwent water brushes. And I almost always have my UniBall white gel pen , as you mentioned, it is the best, and a fountain pen filled with waterproof ink. My watercolors aren’t in a small travel set and they’re a bit heavy so I’m looking for a small set. I just can not decide which I like best. ?

Good to see you getting a rest, also a blessing to see some of the UK. I have several friends there and they have promised to show me around if I ever make it that far lol. I haven’t done any traveling with my Bible journaling so this will be interesting, I notice some new supplies as well. Regarding page prep, I don’t on many of my projects. Even the acrylic paint has not bled through, maybe a slight ghosting effect but nothing I can’t live with. I don’t find it necessary when I use pencils, because they don’t bleed anyway. I’m looking into polychromos as I’m unhappy with the wax bloom from the prismacolor. I know they are popular but I think that’s more due to their price point than anything. Also looking into derwent colorsoft is that the right one?? I forget. Anyway, thanks as always for sharing your great ideas.

Hi Rebekah, I love your little bag for carrying art supplies, at least it looks little until you see how many pens and supplies it holds :o) I’ve never thought about taking art supplies when I travel, but I do plan on taking some art supplies on a trip to the grand canyon with my husband in a few days. Prepping some pages in advance is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

I usually take watercolor pencils as well as the items you mentioned.
I would love to vacation in England and Scotland again 🙂

Hi Rebekah. Thank you so much for sharing your travel bag? So many goodies ? I usually travel with my micron pens and brush tips in various colors. My Staedtler liners, creative zen markers by American crafts and watercolor pencils by crayola. A clic retractable eraser and two pencils (just in case I lose one?). I also punch out several tabs in various colors and bring along a glue stick. Gelatos in the basic primary colors, baby wipes and a small set of alpha stamps with a black ink pad. Very easy and simple. I too prep several pages?
I would love to travel to all 50 states in the USA and see history. I think it would be amazing!

Thanks Rebakah for sharing your traveling bag, I can now officially downsize mine. I love my Prisma Colored Pencils and Gel HIghlighters. I also would take my illustrated faith pens. I find that these are the ones I use the most anyway while on the go and it all fits nicely in my big purse. I love to travel and have been blessed to see numerous places. On my bucket list still are Alaska, England, and Austrailia one day soon I hope to be able to cross these off my bucket list.

i love that little bag. is there a place online that it can be purchased

When I go to South Padre Island, TX to visit my folks, I only pack a child-sized overhead bag for EVERYTHING, to avoid extra charges. Because it is IN the passenger section, I cannot take anything sharp like scissors or even a ruler. So, I prepare pages at home, and I take watercolor pencils and brushes, black micro pens, one calligraphy marker and call it a day!
This year, I’m having a “stay-cation”, going down to the dam at the Maumee river and drawing…or simply praise God as I watch His gorgeous creation!

Thank you for your Bible Studies! I so enjoy your wisdom and insights God has given you to share! And the casual format…so perfect for Bible journaling. I’ve been a serious follower of Christ for 40 years and still learning! Im a brand new Bible Journaler!
God bless you!! Love, Dottie

Thank you Rebeckah for this information. I am new to Bible journaling and I am going on a week retreat and was wondering what all I should take. Now I know. ? God bless you for sharing your talent with us.

Hi Rebekah, thank you so much for sharing your life with God! I found you and your blog about 2 months ago and what you do and your thoughts about the Word of God is a huge inspiration to me.
I am looking for at good sketchbook for watercoloring and inktense pencils. Which sketchbook would you recommend – the one you show in the video or another one? What is the brand of the sketchbook in the video?

I feel like I am learning so much from you, Rebekah. My oldest daughter asked for Bible journaling supplies and a journaling Bible for Christmas. I am a longtime paper crafter, so I do own a lot of art supplies, but I felt like I really needed guidance in choosing supplies specifically for this craft. So, I have watched MANY of your videos and did lots of experimenting in an old Bible. I feel that this enabled me to choose wisely for her, and in the process, I have ordered my own journaling Bible! I’m so looking forward to doing this! I am a Stampin Up demonstrator, so something I have played with a fair bit are the ink pads and a water brush, blender pen, or Wink of Stella over images stamped with archival black ink. I think any dye ink would give similar results. Perhaps a suggestion for fellow stamping enthusiasts would be to think of dye ink as a water colour medium.

You are so inspiring Rebekah. Great video. Thank you for sharing. I tend to take the kitchen sink so found your video very helpful 🙂

Really enjoyed the amazing views you shared on vacation.
Awesome supply of supplies to take along.
