Abide in Love

Last week (actually the week before March 29th! This draft didn’t publish when it was set to.) I did painting of another kind—my living room*, and it turned out great. Even though it’s hard to wrap my head around the different. But now I’m back to working in my Greatest of These is Love journal—where I’m nearing the end of blank spreads in my journal to work on and inspiration sessions. It’s almost time to move on to the next creative project. (And if you’ve followed my posts for the last 3 months since this was supposed to be posted,… Continue reading →

Deep Calls to Deep

Deep calls to deep. God’s Spirit is calling us to go deeper into Him. And the spirit that is filled with God’s Spirit searches the deep things of God. Creating this page reminded me of these truths from God’s Word. I had some trouble getting this make to come together, so I took my own path and reverted to starting with free-drawing neurolines and rounding them, in the way I’m very familiar with. I jokingly call my “off-road” detours I make when following a class “going rogue”. Following and learning from others is how we grow. But we’ve got to be… Continue reading →

That Your Joy Be Full

Today we’re looking at John 15:11, and all the rich context surrounding it, and the Faith Art journaling of my study of it. {Video below.} This section of God’s Word is so rich, deep, and exciting! And Jesus’ disciples just weren’t getting it. Even looking back on it, many times we don’t either. To study this verse, we need to go back and begin reading at John chapter 13, as that is where Jesus starts this discourse—and it continues through chapter 16/17. Judas had just left the Passover meal, to betray Jesus, and Jesus is giving the rest of His… Continue reading →

Today, I’m opening that new journal I made on Sunday, and starting work on the inside pages. July is here and #faithjournaljuly2025 started today. (Follow that hashtag on YouTube.) If you haven’t seen my previous posts leading up to this, here and here, this event is a Faith Art Bible Study on Exploring Joy. In this collab, a different Guest Creator will present a New Testament verse on Joy along with a junk journal element or other Faith Art make, each weekday of the month on their own YouTube channels. (My day is July 7th.) My clean and simple wildflower… Continue reading →

Exploring Joy Journal {tutorial}

Leave a comment

My Exploring Joy journal is ready to go! Just in time. I made it yesterday and #faithjournaljuly2025 starts tomorrow. I really wanted a clean, colorful look to this journal, so it’s a departure from my usual vintage, sometimes grungy, style eclectic journals and definitely different than my mixed media journals. My own challenge accepted. I found the wildflowers wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby and decided that was a good starting point. Then I started digging through my digital stash for images that would go well with it. These colorful wildflowers were perfect. I altered and resized them to fit in… Continue reading →

Masculine Card Bonanza

Leave a comment

It’s my birthday month! 🎉 But more than that I have 7 masculine cards to make within less than a month for family members. That’s a lot of testosterone! So many of us find making men’s cards challenging. You too? Read on for a wide variety of inspiration. I missed photos of a couple, and included a couple other cards for males I’ve made this spring. I love this recent make with the Tim Holtz Gentleman die. That background (which the photo doesn’t do justice to) is the most yummy thing around.🤩 I’ll include another, better pic of just it,… Continue reading →

When the Lights Go Down

Tonight the lights go down. It is the last night of our Frontier Revue show. Although I post a lot about creativity being a huge tool in soul care, most of those posts center around visual arts creativity. But there is another powerful tool for our soul’s wellbeing, perhaps even more important. That is music. Although listening to it is good, creating it—when it comes from your own heart, is even better. I’m not saying you have to be a composer, but rather a producer of music—even if no one else hears it. The healing powers of music range from… Continue reading →
