Hello, Everyone, hope you are all having a great weekend. It is Saturday night here, it has been a beautiful day here, Study and housework in the morning, and in the afternoon, a big yard project that was a fail, no fault of ours, it just didn't follow the plan. We all have those events. After dinner, back to studying and getting ready for Sunday.
On Saturday, I normally finish up my scripture writing for the week and do the next week's layout. Last week's layout with the verses for the week. I use the Inscribe plan and usually write the thought of the text, not just a verse or two.
A couple of tip-ins and a large flip-down. I make most of my stickers, using different digital companies and public domain art. A favorite of mine is
The Graphics Fairy, for two reasons, #1, superb selection and #2, you have at your fingertips a world-class digital art education. Another new favorite is
Daydream Bible Art, a wonderful company by artisit and author Diane Noble.
I am sharing these companies because I am always looking for beautiful tools to help me share my faith, whether I am teaching or making a card to encourage. I want to do my very best, to represent the very best, that is: Jesus.
The layout process:
Naturally I start with my blank pages, I prefer the Happy Planner system because it is so adaptable, especially since I have the punches to go with the disk system. everything paper becomes fair game for my planners!
I am using the classic size for 2023-2024
I selected my images to make my stickers with. I don't always make stickers - often I will just use good paper and glue.
This set is printed on clear glossy sticker paper with my Canon 3260 -
a low-end cost and high-functioning printer
Paper used:
Starting the layout, this sticker I flipped to make a bottom border and punched it.
The finished page:
Two flip-ups and a lot of color. Next week I will have to do something that is not predominately flora and fauna.
And Now the 'why';
basically, because I want to draw closer to the Lord.
scripture writing slows me down to the point where I can really think about the word that I am writing, which then becomes a study topic, which gets parsed and noted
I have another planner in which I make notes for each day's scripture writing. You would be so surprised, this is such a pleasant time each day. Basically, all I have to do is commit to showing up and opening my heart and ears, and the Lord just pours so much into me.
It is so wonderful! I am also committing more scripture to memory and have more peace and confidence than ever!
I have a time-proven system for all of this word building into my life. I would be more than happy to share that if anyone is interested.
Planners, study Bibles and journaling bible and all kinds of fun bits on the side of my desk.
I am so glad you stopped by, and may The Lord richly bless you!

I am in awe of your journal pages Ginny - they are beautiful - both before and after your writing in them. I would be interested in your system - I probably don't spend enough time in the Word - but I do get there regularly now, and write up a couple of verses a day
Blessings
