Pretty Organization

My sweet friend Dana made this wonderful shadow box for me. I think she should win a prize for the most creative use of scrap goods in a "non-album" application. (Yes, I am getting in the mood for the Oscars!) AND the same day she gave it to me, my order of "typographic cards" came from Pottery Barn. It was like they were meant to go together. I LOVE it...very inspiring -- love to have creative things around me when I am creating and this will be front and center in my scrap area.
Then...I have been trying to get my studio/office under control.
Between starting my business, teaching and traveling I have been doing lately, it is such a mess. Trying to both organize and make it a space that inspires me. One of my projects was to create these frames to sit on my desk...just cork and foam core covered in cloth...but I love the crystals and keys hanging from the pegs...beautiful inspiration. Hope your day tomorrow is filled with both beauty AND inspiration.

    Hi Jann,
    On a whim, I "googled" you ... and found your blog. Congratulations on your engagement! I'm so happy for you! Fun to see all of your creativity ... that I definitely remember about you! : ) We are still in RO ... life is interesting. David will be 13, Ben is 8, and Liz is almost 7. Our site still needs some work, but if you're interested, it's: web.mac.com/rmillhouse/iWeb/belc/Home.html. --Martha Millhouse

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Lumberjack Plaid...Oh My

Image
I recently was in Illinois with a couple of my besties for a week of fellowship, going deeper into God's Word and a lot of creative play. We had the best-est time. All of us are early risers -- and that first cup of coffee in a quiet house with women who love the Lord is just about as good as it gets.  We would eventually transition from coffee to crafts...and took turns sharing a technique or products  that we have discovered since our last time together. One of those products was the new Tim Holtz Distress Color -- Lumberjack Plaid. Oh -- this is such a pretty red and perfect for all your Christmas makes. I will have several things to show you from my create extravaganza week in the coming days. But wanted to introduce you to this wonderful new color that is now available in Distress Ink, Distress Oxide Ink, Spray Ink, Oxide Spray Ink, paint and embossing glaze. Here is a card that I made using a few Tim Holtz products in addition to the new Lumberjack plaid color.  You...
