Just Believe by Amber

Hello everyone! It's Amber here sharing this colorful water colored card and matching mini tube. I used a bunch of the fun little images from SRM's Just Believe Clear Stamp set to create my background and matching tag. 

I started with a large piece of water color paper and starting stamping my sentiments and images in some water color safe ink. I used an over sized piece of water color paper in the beginning because I want to die cut a large rectangle panel for the front of my card and a tag for the mini tube. Once all of my images were stamped I started coloring them and the background in with some Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist and a WaterIn Blending Brush. I didn't worry about coloring all of the images in perfectly, I let some of the colors bleed and blend in with the background. I set aside my finished piece and let it dry overnight before I die cut my card front and tag. 

I die cut a large pierced rectangle out of my finished piece and adhered it to my light lime green card base. I made sure to center my sentiment and quote before die cutting. 

I wanted to have a matching tag for my Mini Tube so I die cut a little tag right out of the same piece I die cut my card front from. This is why I used an over sized piece of water color paper in the beginning. I added a fun little "God is Good"  sentiment sticker from SRM's Shine Your Light Sentiment sticker sheet to the center of my tag and tied it to my mini tube with some black string. 

I hope you enjoyed my two projects today. Water colored cards always look complicated and time consuming but their really not.

Faith Planner by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today to share my faith planner with you. 

A few months ago I jumped on the planner wagon. I purchased a large planner (mine is spiral bound and about 7x9 inches). At first I had a hard time getting started and keeping up. So I decided to rethink how I could to make the best use of my planner. I wanted something to record my prayers, but didn't want it to be separate from my daily devotions.  So, I turned my planner into a "faith planner" and couldn't be happier.

Each week I creatively record my prayers and scripture that is standing out to me from my devotion time, study, and sermon notes. I use lots of stamps, washi tape, printables, stickers, and bits from my scrapbooking stash. It doesn't take much time each day, so it's easy to keep up with. The bonus I've discovered is that having all that in one place has really helped focus my prayers and see God moving in response to my prayers.

In this video I share several of my pages and show you a spread midway through the week as well as walk through my steps for setting up pages for the coming week. You'll see lots of SRM stamps and stickers. 

Hopefully you'll be inspired to think out of the box with your planner.

Here is the featured spread at the end of the week:

These are just some of the great SRM products I love to use in my Faith Planner:

Fall Bible Journaling by Samantha

Hello. Samantha up today with some fall Bible journaling. I don't know about you, but I don't usually get my ideas for journaling from one place. Sometimes it's from that week's sermon, sometimes it's a Bible study, sometimes it's just a verse that pops into my mind...for this entry I took my inspiration from the fall season and the changing leaves around me. 

I started by literally highlighting the verse I was doing my journaling about with an orange Marvy watercolor pencil. Then, I started building my background by dotting my Bible page all over with fall colored pencils. 

I started by dotting the entire printed text area with an orange pencil, then I followed up with a yellow pencil, next I filled in more of the white space with a red pencil, and finally I finished up with a brown pencil. It did take a bit of time to do, but I love the overall look. The colors blend and look almost like a bunch of fall leaves all over my page. 

I used the same orange watercolor pencil to color the journaling edge of my Bible. The I used a mix of the Shine Your Light Sentiment stickers and my own journailing with a Marvy Black Color In marker to add parts of the verse to the margin. 

A little fall Bible journaling about thanks and praise completed. Do you ever take your cues from nature or the seasons when Bible journaling?

It's All About Heart Bible Journaling by Shannon

Good Morning!  Shannon here today to share some of my Bible Journaling with you.  Bible journaling is such a wonderful and personal craft.    By the way, SRM has a Bible Journaling Facebook group called Bible Journaling Journey.  Come join us HERE.  

June is Ordinary Time for my faith, but it is anything from ordinary. We devote a whole month to The Sacred Heart of Jesus, not to be overshadowed, we also honor The Immaculate Heart of Mary. These two hearts work in everyone's lives, whether they realize it or not. For those of us who call on them daily, they are a source of peace, love, growth, comfort, devotion, a safe place to tell your sorrows and joys to. 

My page I am sharing with you, it's a declaration of sorts, the reading is a sad one, before Jesus dies on the cross, and breathes his final breath, but it is a powerful declaration. Mary is mother to us all. She loves us and wants the very best for us. She is our protector, she is the one who wraps her arms around us in deep sorrow or celebratory joy. She is amazing and all the love in the world could never compare to the love she feels for each and every one of us.

I used many SRM goodies to create this page, the products are the perfect size for the limited margins in a journaling bible, and you truly can add dimension without bulk. I used SRM Glassine Bags as a subtle layer, you can still see the text and colors behind.  Large Scalloped Punched Pieces make a big impact and  an additional layer.

If you are looking for a quick way to add some journaling, SRM has tons of stickers with great sentiments, I used Free Style/Thrive and Sentiment/Shine Your Light to add some loving words. I can't complete any project without using my Le Pen or Sticker Stitches.

I used so many more great things available to you, here is a complete list:

Planner Pages by Christine

Hi SRM fans!  Christine joining you today to share a couple of my planner spreads.  I've been searching for just the right planner.  I came to a realization that I needed a family one and then one just for me.  So today I am going to share with you my family one and how I used lots of SRM Stickers and Stamps in it!

This is my spread for the second week of November.  It was a crazy week as we were traveling for part of it! I used several different sets of stickers on here as well as stamp!  

This was a pretty awesome half of the week!  As you can see on the left side I created a list of out of the norm things I needed to do.  This was super helpful.  Now if you are wondering about my areas that are covered up with patterned paper....those I have decided will be where I have nothing planned.  Each time I have one of those I am going to add in a heart from the Life is Good Stamp Set.  I will have those there as a reminder that I have a time out from anything and I should use those times to love on my family!

Sticker Stitches are an absolute staple for this type of hobby.  I'm going to be going through a lot of sticker stitches! I was particularly into the black ones this month! I added a "Happy" sticker from the Happy Quick Card Set.  The Calendar Companion sticker set had a couple of perfect additions as well!

With nothing planned for Saturday I took some artistic liberty and just had fun adding the November from Calendar Months/Large Snappy and the leaves!  A personal touch is added with the Have a Ball Basketball and Say It With Stickers Mini Piano. 

Of course there are more Sticker Stitches and Baby Blue Little Borders (coming in January). 

My second spread is for a more normal week in our house and is packed with my writing!  For this one I used a lot of Sticker Stitches and the Silver & White Little Borders.

I used a tag stamp from the same Life is Good stamp set to fill some white space. 

I also added in some faith statements from one of my faves, the Shine Your Light set. I'll work that one in where ever I can because it is so inspiring!

I used Sticker Stitches as a border for my morning, afternoon, and evening sections and I really like the way that worked out!

It is so easy to incorporate so many of SRM's fantastic stickers and stamps to your Planner!  We love it when you share those with us and can't wait to see more!

Shine Your Light by Diane

Diane Jaquay has created a set of cards that she's donating to the women's ministry at her church.  It's a way of saying thank you to all the women in this group who have been a Godsend to her, uplifting her in so many ways.  She opes these cards will be used to encourage women who might be going through a difficult time.  What a wonderful idea.  And what beautiful cards. 

Diane said that these cards were a snap to make using SRM's Shine Your Light Sticker Sentiments.  She found so many wonderfully uplifting sentiments on this one sheet.  

Diane used the same formula on each card, simply changing out the sentiment.  

The cute little images that she used to create the banners are from We've Got Your Sticker Thanks and Hello designs. 

 Diane loved how nicely the colors of the stickers go along with her patterned papers from Crate paper's Little Bo Peep paper pad.  Diane said "These cards were a joy to create!".

And Diane has over 25 more sentiments to use on other cards.  With just one Sticker Sentiment sheet you can make 30 cards!  Amazing!
