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 →

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 →

Stones of Remembrance

Great is God’s Faithfulness! In Joshua’s 4:6, he commands, as YHWH has directed him, that stones of remembrance be placed. Today’s Mixed Media Meditation is a short one, with a much quicker creative make. My stacked stones represent things in my life that either I’ve lost and God has gotten me through, or other things He’s provided that give me His Abundant Life in the midst of chaos and loss. All of them are things that I look back on and remember His faithfulness. 💖 I encourage you to seek your heart for “stones of remembrance” in your life, when… Continue reading →

Shalom Shalom

Does your mind always stay in perfect peace? Mine neither. How’s that peace even possible? Isaiah 26:3 tells us it is. By keeping our mind focused on God and trusting Him—in every circumstance. Having peace in our souls as the storms of life rage around us. This isn’t something we can do in our flesh. It only happens by God’s Spirit at work in our spirits. I’ve been mediating on Psalm 23 recently, for a new creative course I’ll be releasing later this summer. So that influenced my thoughts on this passage also. We’ll dig deep into those Psalms 23… Continue reading →

Shine Bright

Hide it under a basket? No! I’m gonna let it shine! I’m still meditating on Matthew 5:14-16, (see April 26th and May 4th posts) and coming up with new ways to Bible Journal it through mixed media Faith art. Thank you to Kim Pepper’s FaithFest 2025 for inspiration. As soon as I started meditating on verse 15 in a visual way, I knew I wanted to incorporate a woven “basket” into the design of a layout. I also knew I wanted a lamp stand of some sort. And to incorporate my beloved multi-mediums background. The background for this page started… Continue reading →

Keeping Creative on the Fly

I feel like I’m coming back to civilization. 😄 Back to my creative supplies. I love flying, but hate that without paying for checked bags (and lugging them around,) I don’t have room to bring my usual tools of creative transformation. My most happy place for soul care. My phone’s camera lens was my main creative outlet on this trip. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Junaluska were beautiful, and I saved those gorgeous images digitally, as well as in my mind. I moseyed though the retreat’s craft station, where they provided a variety of supplies and instructions for several… Continue reading →

A City on a Hill

How is your light shining? I’m continuing to meditate on Matthew 5:14-16. As we discussed in the last post, Jesus is the Light of the World, but in this passage we are told that we are the light of the world too. His Light is to shine through us and not be hidden. This Faith Art page illustrates verse 14. “A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Let’s take a look at the steps in this more whimsical make. Follow along with whatever coloring supplies you have. If you have stencils and stamps, use them. If not, draw… Continue reading →
