Grace Alone

Grace: It is actually my "word" for 2016.
To show more grace and to be thankful for the grace that has been shown to me.
So many times I pray to be given the "grace to get me through" a certain situation and
in those times I can feel God's presence as He guides me and gives me the
right words and actions to put forth.  
Grace= unmerited favor.  

Yesterday I was up on the Bella Blvd Blog with
this sweet "Grace Alone" hanger

I love adding little hangers to cupboard knobs or giving them for gifts! 
Today I have a colorful, house-shaped hanging featuring the 
Whatever Is Lovely Collection and stickers from the Illustrated Faith line.

I started with a chipboard house shape that I covered with patterned paper. 
I used large enamel dots to outline the scallops of the roofline. The front of the
 house was decorated with one of the 3X4 journal cards and a border of the
 die-cut scallop sticker.

Before dressing the back of the house with patterned paper, pom pom trim 
was glued around the edge, as well as baker’s twine. I hand-cut four butterflies
 from the “Lovely Paper” and layered a smaller one on top of a larger one before
 attaching them. The ‘tails’ of the butterflies were cut from one of the label stickers.
 A cheery ribbon was added to the top and is now ready for hanging!
Supplies:
Illustrated Faith Genesis Kit: Banner Stickers; IF Whatever is Lovely: 
Treasures & Text, Lovely, 3x4’s; Enamel Dots: Cotton Candy, Bell Pepper

Glad you stopped by!

Scripture Calendar


It's that time of year to start thinking about calendars for next year!
 Plus they make great Christmas gifts for a secret pal, teacher or friend.
I have a simple tag style calendar up at 
BELLA BLVD 
this week...come take a look at how I put it all together:

It's a great place to jot down favorite scriptures or scriptures to read, 
prayer requests, birthdays and special moments!

Prayer Request

Hello!  I was up on the Bella Blvd Blog yesterday with 
with my first Bella Blvd-Illustrated Faith assignment
. Even before I was asked to join the creative team, I had in mind to
 make a "Prayer Request" journal just for Facebook. A day doesn't go by that
 I don't have a handful of Facebook friends asking for prayer or a story in
 my newsfeed that grips my heart.

 For my project I have taken a spiral bound journal that was actually a freebie that
my hubby came home with. You can find many types of inexpensive journals and
 notebooks in most dollar stores, so I hope you'll be inspired to make your own!
 First, I cut the Color Chaos down just a bit smaller than the album cover. 
I used a Xyron Creative Station to adhere it in place. A strip of washi tape was
 placed along the side where the patterned paper meets the linen binding
 on the notebook.

 Next, I cut down one of the journal stickers and embellished it with sticker 
pieces from the Illustrated Faith Collection, as well as Enamel Dots and ribbon 
from my stash. Now I have a place to jot down all of the prayer requests...
I don't want to forget a single one!

 Supplies:
Illustrated Faith: Label It stickers, Mini Mint to Be stickers, Fold It stickers,
Love It stickers, By Grace washi tape; Color Chaos: Pickle Juice Strandz, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Scattered Sprinkles: Treasures & Text; Enamel Dots: Ice

Bella Blvd + Illustrated Faith

I'm beginning a new journey, while revisiting an old friend!

I was extremely excited at the offer to join the 
BELLA BLVD 
side of the Illustrated Faith Creative Team!
Having been with Bella Blvd as a card and altered designer
for a couple of years, I jumped at the chance to be a part of this new
endeavor that Stephanie and the Bella team was embarking upon.
While I do plan on sharing artwork in my own journaling bible, for
now I will be showing some other ideas for using the beautiful 
products: cards, altered books/journals, home decor, etc.

Here is a peek at what I'm working on:
 

I will be sharing my newest project at the Bella Blvd Blog next
Tuesday, so please come over and take a look :)
The Illustrated Faith team has been introduced on the blog
and they have some amazing peeks of their artwork!
