Scripture Challenge Share

Hi friends, Tara here today! I'm one of those people that love a good daily challenge. I get so excited but a week into them I'm burnt out and so behind! I'm really loving The Reset Girl's Faithful Life Challenge. It's a weekly challenge and you can do 1 or 4 different scripture writings for the week! I love having options for weeks that are packed full of things, or being able to do more when I find more time.

Here's a little peak at my traveler's notebook entry for Week 2 using the September GraceBox kit.

I started off using some Prima fluid chalk edger with a wipe and made the pink background. Then using this month's stamp set, along with an older GraceBox V4 stamp, I added crosses and stars. I'm loving the awesome alpha stickers that came in the kit this month! I couldn't get the true color to show up but they are translucent and so lovely.

Here is the full traveler's notebook entry. I love writing scripture! It helps me memorize it and I enjoy being able to go back and meditate on different messages from the bible. 

This verse is one of my favorites - it reminds me that life isn't meant to be easy or without struggles. We can find our strength through Jesus. I'm so thankful for that!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be blessed, xo - Tara

Bible Journaling with Jessy Christopher

Hello there again! So excited to share with you what I have created in my journaling bible with the September Grace Box kit. Each month, I always look forward for GraceBox and see what God has installed for me through my art & craft process. I love spending my time in God's presence and allows Him to speak <3

Without further a due, let me share with you my creative process on how I created in my bible....

PSALM 145:8-9 

The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9 

The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.

Firstly, I used a plastic card and spread Nuvo Moussed onto the page. I really love the Nuvo Mousse. as it is fast drying and it gives a metallic finishing too.  

Once that is dried, I spread some gesso on top of the Nuvo Mousse. I wanted to add a little texture and fill up the gaps with it. 

 Next, I took out the Simple Stories bits & pieces and begin to position onto my page. 

Once I'm happy with the positioning, I adhered them down and continued with stamping. 

To finish up, I filled the top and bottom portion with brush lettering & more stamping to complete the look. 

Here are the close-up shots : 

Here are two more entries that I created with September GraceBox...

Thank you for letting me share today! Be blessed :)

Sept Grace Box - Some Mixed Media Fun!

Hi everyone! It's Bonita Rose here!

Today I'm showing you what I did to dress up 

some watercolor paper, using some spray inks in my stash, 

along with the CTK Exclusive Stencil and the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse
in this month's Kit! 

I decided to make some of my own Mixed Media paper inserts,

so I can just have fun with paints and other wet media,

and create some little 'Arting' Notebooks for my A6 size Travelers Notebook! 

For these covers, I used some of the acrylic paints, and ink sprays

I had in my Studio, then using a palette knife, I smoothed on some

of this pretty blue Nuvo Mousse across my stencil. 

Lifted up the stencil right away, then let dry.

Look at those raised areas of the stencil!

So neat! 

Next I added some gold sequins, and used some of the
stamped phrases from this month's stamp set!

On the yellow insert, I added the silver word Magic I had from my stash - across the front.
My inside title page is one of the art cards included in this month's Kit!

On the red insert, I added one of the tags from the ephemera pack!
And for my inside title page for this one, I chose some of the fun ephemera from the pack!

When you get your GraceBox Kit this month, 

try this technique with the Nuvo!

Don't be afraid of it.. pull out the stencil and the Mousse,

and play! 

Shine - September GraceBox

Hi everyone!  It's Gina Lideros with you here today to share a bible journaling page that I created using my September GraceBox kit!  This month, I am sharing an entry in one of my journals.

I absolutely love the bright vibrant colors and selections of products in this month's kit.  I started with the Tip-ins by Illustrated Faith and chose the one that read "The Scriptures Are True."  Then I chose my scripture Matthew chapter five, verse sixteeen "Shine Before Others That They May See Your Good Deeds And Glorify Your Father In Heaven."

After I chose my scripture, I applied a thin layer of clear gesso across my journal and used a heat gun for faster drying.  Once the gesso had dried, I then applied salmon, magenta and orange watercolors across my page.  Next, I applied the dot pattern stamp across my two pages.  

After applying the pattern stamp, I used a black journaling pen to add journaling to the left hand side of my journal.  I used the stencil included in the kit to add a ray of light to both of my pages.  I did this by simply filling in the image with my black journaling pen. 

To complete my pages, I just added a few die cuts, a date stamp and a couple of fastener clips from my own stash.
