Living a Life of Worship | February Grace Box

Hello lovelies - it's Tara here today and I'm so thrilled to be working with the February GraceBox this month in my journaling bible.

Sundays are almost always days we spend going to church, but this past Sunday we ended up home and watched a sermon online. I was so inspired by the verses in this sermon, Romans 12: 1-2 and how deep two simple verses from the bible can speak into my heart.

Here is a look at the finished journal entry:

The stamps this month worked perfectly. I was reminded of how butterflies don't start off beautiful - but change into the creatures they are after waiting patiently. I want to be transformed and remember to pray daily for the Holy Spirit's help and guidance.

Isn't that little heart clip from Illustrated Faith so cute??

I used the Citrus Twist Alpha stamp on a cut out label to add "RENEW". I love the flower stickers in the kit too and they added a pop of color to my journaling. 

I used a couple Tim Holtz distress ink pads on packaging with some water to create the background. I also added a few things on my heart, a little prayer as well, and used my roller date stamp. I wrote in the dotted background stamp from the GraceBox v6 stamp (sold out).

I hope you enjoyed a little peek into my journaling bible today and how God is working in me. Have a wonderful day!

Be blessed! Xxo - Tara

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!
