BIBLE JOURNAL #9

Hello blogging friends!  This week, I am back to a more traditional Bible journal entry.

^“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,but the Lord weighs the heart.” Proverbs 21:2 (ESV)

This verse holds so much truth. How many times have I been convinced that I was doing what is right and just kept doing it without any thought about what God wants? Too many too count! This verse reminds me that no matter what I think is wright, or wrong, I need to make sure I am doing what God wants me to do. We all know this, but we get caught up in life and forget to slow down and talk to God. Every day, I see more and more why my Word for 2016 is “abide”!

Have a blessed Sunday!

PLAYING WITH ZENTANGLE….

Hello blogging friends!   Today, I have another Zentangle design using a template from Zenspirations® Create, Color, Pattern, Play!

and here is what I created:

Courtesy Joanne Fink

I showed you the original so you could see what I added. I love playing with Zentangle and will be using it to design some of my greeting cards. Once I added in all of the designs, I shaded some in pencil and then colored the rest with Copic markers.

Zentangle is a relaxing way to play creatively, even if you are not an artist.  Zenspirations® Create, Color, Pattern, Play! is a great place to go to get “Zenspired” as well as inspire others. I will be sharing this on Joanne’s FB page.

Create something every day!

BIBLE JOURNAL 8

Hello blogging friends!  This week, I am back to a more traditional Bible journal entry.

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up..” Galatians 6:9 (ESV))

The text is hand lettered and the flowers are hand drawn. I used colored pencils to color them (I love my Copics but they bleed through). In additional to working on hand lettering and Zentangle, I found some great how-to art videos. I used some of what I have learned to draw the flowers.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Have a blessed Sunday!
