Scripture Planner Fun layout Peeks and Why I do This

 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

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
