Creative Play Series: Introduction


I want to invite you to come into my "virtual classroom" where we will throw off the things that keep us from creating with abandon and just have some FUN! Here is a quick introduction to the series:



And here are some of the things that I will be using in the first Creative Play Series:

Artist Trading Cards (ATC - 3.5 x 2.5)
Collage Stamps
Perfect Pearls
Mini Mister
Plain Muslin
I-top Brad Maker

Please know you don't have to have all of these things...I am just giving you a heads up in case you want to play along with me.

I have the first class taped - but since I am still on strict doctors orders to limit my time out of bed (while I am working on getting rid of this pneumonia) I will hopefully get that edited tomorrow....So until then, I will tease you with the topic...Tim Holtz's new Distress Stains!

If you are interested in getting a copy of the "I Am an Artist" pledge, please leave me a comment with your email address, and I will be happy to send it to you. If you have a color preference, I have it available in Blue, Gray, Pink, Green and Golden Brown.

Those of you on the East Coast and in the path of Irene, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. As I was praying for you and the others who are preparing for the storm, I was reminded of one of my favorite stories in the Bible. Jesus was crossing a lake in a boat and fell asleep - while He was sleeping, a HUGE storm came up - and those folks that were in the boat with Him were REALLY frightened. They went and woke Jesus up...and frankly couldn't believe that He was STILL asleep. When Jesus saw the storm He said two words- "Be Still!" And the storm stopped immediately! Very comforting to know that no storm is mightier than God!

Have a good weekend...stay safe and dry - and save a little time for Creative Play!

    I love, love, love to watch you work. I'm so glad you are doing this series to help us all get out of our "Perfectionism" boxes and off to see what we can "Imperfectly" do!!!

    You are so inspiring. I'm trying to keep from running out to Hobby Lobby and buying up all the Tim Holtz stuff they have on hand. I want to wait until this winter when I have more time but you are making the discipline a bit difficult :-)

    I'm praying for you daily and you are in my thoughts frequently as well. I hope this pneumonia thing gets kicked out soon so you can be back to your healthy self :-)

    Love you - Leslie

"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...

 Hey friends... Well the time has come to do more than just dip my toes in the water...I'm gonna actually start filming YouTube tutorials again...and I decided to go for a big project rather than something that wouldn't challenge me to go the distance. I am going to show you how to put together an Easter Junk Journal from start to finish! Oh yeah...I didn't decide to just show you how to make a tag...we are bringing out the big guns! 😁😁😁 Since it has been a while -- I will give you the link to my YouTube Channel . You will find the series in a playlist called Easter 2023...and it will be the newest video uploaded....on Saturday!

I am telling you about it now -- so that if you want to ...

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...
