Scripture Journaling 2 Cor 3:18

I just finished week 3 of His Kingdom Come bible study.

Our scripture:

 

We have a song each week as well.  This week was:

Dan Moen- Let Your Glory Fall

I immediately envisioned God's Glory falling on me from heaven!

What an awesome feeling!!

So that's what I've created.

 I started by coloring my gesso'd page with gelato's using my water brush by Altered Pages.
Below I added clouds with my Liquitex texture paste and my finger.

 I added my details next. I had this girl I had drawn and I didn't like the background she was on-so I cut her out and glued her on this page. Like her much better!!

 Journaling with scripture is a wonderful way to help me memorize the verses and really meditate on them all week. I love it!  I hope this encourages you to try it.

New Prima doll Riley featured @ OWSE

TGIF!!  Thank goodness it's Friday!

I have something exciting to share with you today!   


For the next week Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium is running a special on one of the new Prima dolls.  Her name is Riley.  Get an additional 10% off all week!! Get Yours Today!!

I've seen a lot of tags made with the dolls, but I wanted to show you a different way you can use the stamp.  I've altered a composition book.

The technique I used on the pink cardstock: I started off by stamping with a Kaiser script stamp using brown archival ink all over the whole piece.

Then I embossed white roses in the bottom left corner.  You can use any stamp set you want.

 I paper pieced her dress.  Even added a little "snow" for the lace at the bottom of her dress.
I did a scallop border using brown card stock going down the left side.  The title was diecut out of K and Company paper. Rubbed the sentiments onto white cardstock.

Here's a direct link to see the stamp for yourself:  RILEY Prima Doll Rubber Stamp 



I hope you 'll go over to the shop and see all the great products that are 20-25% lower than prices in other shops.

Thanks for stopping  by today!  Have a super weekend!

Vintage Library Cards in altered journal

I love vintage images.  Nice Crane Designs have some Library Cards that fit this journal perfectly. 

I started with a plain composition book and covered the front and back with pink gingham designer paper. I heavily distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.

On the front I even made a gap so the G45 Secret Garden paper would show through.

I colored the images with pencils and then fussy cut them out.  

Distressed the edges.  

The front cover was attached and surrounded with 

Wild Orchid flowers.

I've highlighted with some G45 Secret Garden cut outs.

 On the inside and rear page I created pockets so I could slide the library card in.  They could be used for photo mats or notes.

 Be sure to browse Nice Crane Designs store for all your vintage needs!

I have been altering some composition books to sell @ the Bassett High School Craft show coming up 11/19/11.  It is alot of fun. Each one has it's own unique theme.
