Love Letter 2.0

Sometimes in life, you just need a do-over. Through no fault of your own, things just didn’t turn out “right”. Sometimes we just have to move on from there. Other times we can take a second chance, and when we know better we do better. Sometimes those things have no or low importance in the grand scheme of things. Other times they are of great importance. And that second chance, to make things better, can make a big difference in our lives and the lives of others. This do-over is very low in significance. But it still was a learning… Continue reading →

Love Letters

Up today is another page in my Greatest of These is Love journal. This one was inspired from a cardmaking session. I used the same techniques. Same basic theme. Similar colors. But ended up with a totally different look. ‼️😊 The instructor’s card was softer and floral. And my make—😮 I started with blues, instead of her blue-greens, since I already have more than one blue-green page in this journal. So that changed my tone-on-tone stenciling from her leaves to my stars. Of course, I had to adjust her portrait card layout for my long and narrow journal page—and I… Continue reading →

Growing in love is one of our greatest aspirations, as we seek to become more and more like Jesus, and is evidence of His Spirit’s fruit growing in our lives. We are to “in love, grow in every way into him who is the head — Christ.” And, “I pray this: that your love will keep on growing…” Since daisies are one of my two favorite flowers, it seemed fitting to add one to this mixed media spread in my Greatest of These is Love journal. I love everything about this page—from the colors to the techniques to the elements I used…. Continue reading →

I am LOVING working in this Greatest of These is Love Journal! God not only says, but commands us to “Love with all your heart.” And He tells us exactly what/Who we are to love—Him. Our highest calling in our lives is to love Him because He first loved us. And to love others as we love ourselves. A simple command, but not always easy to do. A simple command worthy to be put simply on this spread. This spread has a simple focal point and simple message, on a multi-layered, colorful background with rich depth. The layers began with… Continue reading →

“Make a Joyful noise! Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing.” What better way to display Joyfulness in our art than with a colorful composition! I’m still working my way through creating some of the projects demonstrated at the Choose Joy Faith Art online retreat I attended a few weeks ago. I practiced what I’m preaching, and had fun making this mixed media Scripture Faith Art page, as I meditated on God and His goodness and blessed His name. (Read this whole short chapter in the Psalms.) This colorful page includes: Ink blending, reverse stenciling, much… Continue reading →
