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.} There is a Free digital handout to go along with this post and video. Get it here! 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… 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}

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

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 →

Lay Your Burdens Down

The Power of the Cross not only washes away our sins at conversion, but is there for all that Jesus offers for our lives after that. The inspiration for this page, by Natasha Lee, focused on the cross, and as I created, I was worshipping with the song *The Power of the Cross* by Keith & Kristen Getty. As I meditated on this powerful work Jesus the Christ accomplished on the cross, the picture in my mind was from Pilgrims Progress, on Christian’s burden being lifted at the foot of the cross. Jesus’ lifting of our burdens isn’t just that one… Continue reading →

Dry Bones

When YHWH set Ezekiel down in the valley full of very dry bones, The Spirit asked him, “Son of man, can these bones live?” Ezekiel replied, “Lord YHWH, only you know.” Dry bones, hear the word of YHWH, “I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live.” The Encounters in Colour Christian art journaling retreat session by Jen Alward focused on this passage, in Ezekiel 37. As I meditated on it and how I wanted to make my faith art page for it, I remembered a time several years ago when I was walking through a valley of… Continue reading →
