Growing in Faith | Tara

Good morning friends! Today I'm sharing a little bit of love for May's GraceBox kit. It's packed with so much color and goodness, I couldn't wait to dig in. I find myself enjoying time with God creating and crafting. I usually take a step back to first read and re-read the verse or chapter a few times before diving in!

I use the YouVersion bible app in conjunction with my NLT bible that I create in. Having different formats available make it really easy to read, go over, and research when diving into scripture. The app also provides a verse of the day. I focused on May 19th's verse (2 Corinthians 4:16), but took it deeper with focusing on the entire chapter, 2 Corinthians 4.


I loved the circle stamp with the hearts and stamped it a few times to create a background. I later added some watercolor throughout the page for more of a pop.

I kept it simple, making a little cluster with the fun gold vine trim and some die cuts. I added some of the word stickers and cut down the long "meet Him in the margins" to fit my journaling page better. I chose a few word stickers that helped highlight some key phrases and take away points from the chapter.


The new alpha stamp is so fun and is the perfect size for all types of projects. I left myself a little phrase of encouragement, "Don't lose heart." This entire chapter really helps bring His light into my life and is such a good reminder of how the best is to come.

I loved using the alphas from April's GraceBox kit with the word stickers. There are so many possibilities!

Here is a closer look at the bottom of my journaling page.

I am often reminding myself to dwell in him and be filled with His Spirit. It's so easy to get stuck in your own way instead of letting Him lead.

I hope you are encouraged to dig deep and find time in God's word along with creating and crafting. What are ways you grow in faith? We would love to see them shared on our Citrus Twist Kits Fan Page or Instagram.

Have a lovely day!

Xxo, Tara

Note to Self

Good morning! It's Tara here and today I'm sharing another way I like to use my Pocket Life kit - for faith journaling. I love how versatile our kits are; you can use them in so many ways and tailor them to fit your needs.

I love this journaling card that was in our "Beach Glass" Pocket Life kit this month. Our very own Diane, created this lovely brush lettering found here and in the stamps as well. The washi tape is from my stash. I love flip cards! You can add extra writing or hide it for only you to see.

I am using my traveler's notebook as a way to write down bible verses, take notes, and write out prayers daily. It's the perfect size and I love the paper! Here is a little spread I made:

Here is a closer peek:

I used some watercolor to make a few roses. They are far from perfect and a couple aren't my favorite but I'm embracing the imperfections. Then I did a wash of blue throughout the page. I also added in the GraceBox v2 stamp here and there. Again, loving the word "joy"! It actually was from the phrase "joyful heart" but I made it work. I really loved the Simple Stories white alphas that were included in April's PL kit, so I added them here too. I used a die cut tab from the "Currently" die cuts included in the May PL kit.

I'm reading a mini study called Unshakeable Moms. I took a few notes that really spoke to me behind the journaling card. These words are a reminder to help me focus on how I'm refueling myself and what I should be filled with.

Thank you for stopping by! We would love to see the different ways you use your kits. You can share it with us in our Gallery and Facebook Fan Page .

Have a lovely day! Xxo, Tara
