Proverbs 3:5-8

 


It is such a blessing to wake up and know there are people you love all over the world. It made me stop and thank God for you! He sees you and all that today holds for you. Trust Him in the good, the bad and the ugly. He has the very best-est plan for you...better than anything we could come up with on our own!


Now for some fun news. I am guest designing for Sweet n' Sassy Stamps for the month of July. I have been a huge fan of @korinsnss and @sweetnsassystamps forever. They have great illustrations, high quality stamps, Dies and stencils...and so many of their products are perfect for Bible Journaling and faith-filled card making. I'll be sharing six projects over the next few days....so you'll want to stay tuned.

You know me, I love to stretch my supplies, so while I had the products out working on the Bible Journaling page... I went ahead and made a card too! I highly recommend it...it's super efficient because you've already basically figured the design out in your head!



Today's page was based on Proverbs 3 : 5-8..."trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your I wn understanding " Man, I need to keep that in front of my eyes for sure...I gave a tendency to think..."oh, I know what He would want me to do...I won't b I there Him!" Besides the fact that it never turns out well...it is a form of pride that I need to root out. Hey...i'm talking to myself here...probably none of you have ever done that!🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

I used Distress Oxide Inks with blender brushes and the Vintage Doily Stencil. Pro Tip: did you know that if you use a light hand with the brush and OXIDE Inks, they don't bleed through your Bible page? It's true....and opens up so many new possibilities. Let me know if you try it.

I used the Vintage Stencil and the Special Blooms stamp and die bundle to create both my page and my card. I love the added detail of stenciling on the envelope...it just ties everything together.

When a stamp set also has dies...that gives me the freedom to do some simple Copic coloring and pop the images onto my page (I've not found Copics to be very friendly to Bible pages! Ask me how I know! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"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...

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...
