Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 4 in the Bible Art Journaling Challenge series, Heaven Is Calling! If you’ve not seen lesson one yet, I encourage you to start at the beginning so we can go on a journey together in this free 12-part devotional series.

But I want to remind you today that, the Lord is with you! He does not send you out without the grace or tools to succeed. Let’s talk about this.

Heaven Is Calling Lesson 3 - A Bible Art Journaling Challenge Series

Hello Everyone! Welcome to lesson 3 in the Bible Art Journaling Challenge series, Heaven Is Calling! Join me in learning some mixed media Bible journaling techniques with Inktense, Distress Ink and Pitt Pens as we talk about recognizing God’s voice. If you’ve not seen lesson one, or lesson two yet, I encourage you to start at the beginning so we can go on a journey together in this free 12-part devotional series.

In this lesson today, I want to pick back up on a story we discussed in lesson one. Hannah had cried out for a son and God had granted her request. Years later, that son Samuel was essentially being raised in the temple under Eli, the man who first told Hannah that her request would be granted from God. Samuel hadn’t yet known how to recognize God’s voice and how to [click to continue…]

Creating Gratefulness - Bible Art Journaling Challenge Week 47

Hello Everyone! Welcome to week 47 of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge! I have found myself thinking about how gratefulness is a key to breakthrough in our lives. There are some tough things going on in the lives of many I know. Yet, remaining grateful in the midst of difficulty, is key. Not for those terrible things. Nobody needs to be thankful for tragedy or hardship. But we need to be grateful [click to continue…]

Brusho Technique with Masks - Bible Art Jouranling Challenge Week 37

Hello Everyone! Welcome to week 37 of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge! This week I splashed color EVERYWHERE with something called Brusho. I did a Brusho technique with masks which I’m excited to share with you!

In week 8 of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge, I did a rather wild and invasive Bible art journaling technique in my NASB Note-Taker’s Bible. I wanted to share here what I said about my Bible then, as it really applied again with my Single Column ESV Journaling Bible…

“I really wanted to break my Bible in a bit. Do something creatively with it which would finally make it feel like I wasn’t making another person’s book beautiful. Like, it was too precious to mess up and be real with. I wanted to OWN that book for myself and feel it has finally made home with me.”

I feel like this week, I’ve done [click to continue…]

Archival Ink DIY Stencil Masking – Bible Art Journaling Challenge Week 26

Hello Everyone! Welcome to week 26 of my Bible Art Journaling Challenge! We all have times when we really want to spend time in the Word but time is not on our side. My mom always fought this by writing scriptures on 3×5 cards and taping them ALL over the house. Everywhere we spent lots of time, there were 3×5 cards to read while doing that thing. But what about creating in our Bibles? How do we make time for that?

My answer is to pick simpler techniques. When I have time, why wouldn’t I spend 7 hours painting a lion, or creating a self-portrait? When I don’t have time, why not do something simple and bold that lets me steal moments in the Word. Join me as I show you one of the quickest techniques [click to continue…]

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to another week of the Bible Art Journaling Challenge!

I consider myself so blessed to be able to have so many of you joining me on this wonderful journey of going deeper with God through creativity.

This week I really wanted to break my Bible in a bit. Do something creatively with it which would finally make it feel like I wasn’t making another person’s book beautiful. Like, it was too precious to mess up and be real with. I wanted to OWN that book for myself and feel it has finally made home with me. As requested, I used Gelatos. I decided to hold nothing back and go a bit wild in the art studio and I think you’ll either love it or freak out! ha ha Watch my video below and then [click to continue…]

Hello Everyone!

My friends recently bought their first house and I wanted to create a house warming gift for them. The wife enjoys bold color choices so I took the opportunity to try out some different styles than I wouldn’t normally go for and hope they enjoy how it turned out.

I used several colors of Distress Ink along with some Distress Paint and Distress Stain. Also, some other Tim Holtz products were used but before I give it all away, I’ll leave you with the video! I hope you enjoy it and [click to continue…]
