A couple of layouts

I have been having some fun working with different paper lines...and on the one below slopping some paint around. The Reflections of a Hot Young Woman was a bit of a tongue in cheek journaling regarding how one gets from Hot to Hot Flashes...and the fact that I actually like where I am now -- more than "back in the day" when the boys thought I was "hot."

This layout is about the day I turned 30 and chose to spend it fishing with my Dad -- it was just wonderful...early morning -- fish were biting all day....beautiful suroundings --- peace and yes, I caught the biggest fish!



Have a great week. I am headed to Dallas the end of the week for my Dad's 80th birthday. Will try and get his mini-album done before I leave....he doesn't know I am coming so that will be a fun surprise too. Take care all

    Your l/o's always have such great stories & meaning..I love seeing them!! My favorite: Hot Woman..it reminds me *a little* of the reason I have "One Hot Mama" as a ring tone on my cell phone..if you have seen the music video you would understand..but if you haven't seen it..it is about a mom with a couple of kids and she is always a wreck, messy hair, little or no makeup, t-shirt..but when her husband sees her..he sees this beautiful "Hot Mama"..it is just a little joke between Rich & I..so everytime my phone rings and get a little giggle:)
    I hope you have a safe trip, Professor.

    coming out of lurk mode - waving hi - I too am a Daddy's girl who loves fishing too! Hubs isn't much of an outdoor kind of guy, but I grew up learning to bait a hook before I learned to comb the tangles out of my hair! Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I love the LO with you and your Dad fishing. BTW, you may know my Hubs - I believe he works with your Hubs? (David Jordan?)

    OH YES!!!..these are some of my fav pages of yours. The funny thing is that "really important" and "hot woman" are stylistically different and yet I see so much of you, your style, and you passion for truthful journaling in both. In fact, I think one of the things I love so much about your creative style is that is defies simple definition. You scrap your mood. I love that -- and it makes your work so wonderfully honest and passionate.

    So...enough gushing..have a great weekend.

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

Image
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...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
