Bible Journaling Process Video ~ John 4:24

Hello friends!!  Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you enjoy this process video of one of my favorite verses about worship! :)

New Journaling Bible ....HCSB!!!

ESV was not my favorite version so I was excited to hear that there are new versions in the Journaling Bibles.  So here's my first decorated page in my new bible.  Although it's not my first marked on page.  I felt lead to go highlight Isaiah 6:5 as this is something I need to be working on.

Here are some pictures of my first decorated page.,  This is also my first time ever doing a process video so you will have to let me know if you like that!

Heidi Swapp Plastic letters, Heidi Swapp colorshine spray (pink), micron pen 03, StaZon ink (black, teal, and hot pink), white gel pen, platinum zig writer, craft smart acrylic paint, Simple Stories alphas, Artist's Loft Pan Watercolor tray, and Sakura Waterbrush.

Bible Journaling: Hosea 4 & Indexing

As I shared in my last post I have come across a way of studying my bible and being creative, which is a passion God has given me.  So isn't this perfect, to put the two together.  Before I do any artwork I use the inductive bible study method to dig into the chapter.  I am doing a chapter a day.  Yesterday was Hosea 4.  I am absolutely in love with God's word and I am thankful that He has brought me down this path.  Some of you may be like WHAT?  She's drawing all over her bible.  But this is a way for me to meditate on that particular verse after I have studied the chapter, and I do not cover any part of the text.  I use several different bibles for my actual study time (HCSB, KJV, NIV, NKJV, and the one below, which is ESV).  I also love going on biblehub.com and reading different commentaries.  I have several bible handbooks that  reference, but apart of the inductive bible study method is to go directly to God's word FIRST.  

As I create pages in my journaling bible I have started making tabs on each page and using a letter sticker to index. There are also some along the top, which you cannot see in this picture.  The page above got a "u" for understanding.  

On the inside of my bible I have come up with this system of indexing, so far.  After today's devotional (Jesus Calling) I will be adding trust, but I will probably wait until I actually do the art before making the tab.  

My Newest Addiction

I got my new ESV journaling bible today and it is beautiful!!!  There may or may not have been micron and gellyroll pens purchased as well.  Oh how i love this new journey of combining three great loves that i have: Bible + Art + Journaling. Yes, how great it is. Here is my first page in my new bible <3

 Hello!  I'm back with another process in pictures post.  This one is one of my favorites because of the pretty colors and grunge look.  I started by laying down torn book pages using matt medium.  

I set chipboard letters on my page and sprayed over them with "berry" alcohol ink.  I added black acrylic paint to the right edge and dry brushed over the rest of the page to make the book page edges stand out.  

I made puddles of blue alcohol ink, made splatters by hitting my paint brush in it, and added some on other places on the page to make some purple.  I prayed a piece of burlap with "butterscotch" alcohol ink and adhered it with matte medium.  I went over the black on the page with sandpaper to give it more of a grudge look.  

I added a peice of washi, random clump of thread, and a button.  I wish I wouldn't have but I added gold acrylic to the burlap.  I also added some more black acrylic to the washi.  

I added butterflies with a stencil and StaZon metallic silver ink.  The circles are a stamp that I made.  I also added unreadable writing stamp with blue StaZon.  I went around the edges of the letter and butterflies with a super fine painters pen.  

I added gesso over the entire page with a card and added a black stamp to the top butterfly.  I went around all the edges with the painters pen, smearing as I went.  The smaller letters are stamps that I went over again with the painters pen.  

I hope you enjoyed this post :)  Leave a comment!!!

City On A Hill

This is one of my favorite!  I almost always start off having no idea what I'm going to be making.  I layered down dark blue and craft cut up card stock from Heidi Swap's "Hello Today" 12x12 paper pad.  I absolutely love the entire paper pad.  In person you can see some of the flowers and arrows showing through.  I applied gesso to the entire page.  I used spray ink: pink, yellow, and brown.  Heavy charcoal around all the edges with white distress ink on the building edges first.  Let me know if this is confusing!  lol.  Yellow acrylic paint for the windows, outline in black pen. I added some color with jellyroll metallic pens.  The stars were created with a stamp, embossing ink, and tinsel embossing powder.
