It's a Wonderful day to be Alive | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year! Today I'm sharing an entry in my Journaling Bible using the Tall Titles cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

This cut file set is designed to use in standard size traveler's notebook inserts, but it's also the perfect size to add a large title in the margin of the Illustrated Faith Journaling Bible!

The verse that I wanted to journal on was Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." So when I found this awesome cut file from The Cut Shoppe, I knew that it would make the perfect title for this entry. I used the Felicity Jane Madison collection, and I decided to cut the title out of the woodgrain patterned paper from the kit.

Before I stuck my title down I added some subtle colour to the background using Vicki Boutin art crayons. I also did a little bit of stamping and then I embellished the page with some floral clusters that I fussy cut out of one of the Madison patterned papers. With such a large and eye catching title, I didn't need to add too many embellishments.

I added my journaling in the space on the right hand side of the page, and then I finished the entry off  by attaching a tab at the top of the page, along with another small floral cluster.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! If you're a bible journaler, I hope that I've inspired you to use some cut files in your bible as well! Make sure you go check out the section for traveler's notebook cut files in the shop, as these are a great size for bible journaling!

Bible Journaling With Printable Files | Helen Gullett

Hello everyone... Helen is here. Today I have a couple Bible journaling pages to share with you all using printable files from The Cut Shoppe.

Here are the printable files I used on my journaling page today:

The Road Trip Printable you can grab this set at The Cut Shoppe Store, but the Summer Sizzle set, you can grab it for free when you join The Cut Shoppe Scrap Spot Facebook Group.

On my first Bible journaling page, I used both printable sets on my ESV Journaling Bible.

First, I open the files with Silhouette Studio Software, and then activate the Print-and-Cut feature on the software.

I printed the files with inkjet printer on heavyweight white cardstock and then cut them with my Silhouette Cameo.

That easy!

On my Bible page, I added some watercolor paint and dried it with craft heater. Then I added the printable pieces on the page with dries-clear adhesive glue. And then I wrote highlight verse that I want to remember in the journaling space.

On my second Bible journaling page, I used the Summer Sizzle set and the All Tied Up Alpha Cut File on my ESV Interleave Journaling Bible. It has large full page for journaling.

I cut the alphabet set with heavyweight white cardstock, and then I colored them with Gelato Metallic  Blueberry and waterbrush. I set them aside to dry.

While waiting, painted the grass at the bottom of the page using Gelato Green Tea and baby wipe. After the painted grass dried, I added the printable pieces on the page using dries-clear adhesive glue. Then, I added the alphabets on the pages saying Stand Firm and wrote the phrase "In The Lord" using Micron Pen.

I hope you all enjoy this simple post today. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Mercy, Peace, Love | Shannon Morgan

Good morning, Shannon here, I'm sharing something a little but different with you this morning using Ashley's awesome files. 

I used the "sketch" feature available on the Silhouette first,  and then cut the feathers out. I am using them as embellishments for my bible journaling! Jude's a big deal in our house, Paddy's tied to him forever, taking him as his Confirmation saint. Jude's not mentioned a bunch in the bible, but his letter is simple and to the point. 

I used Flocked & Feathered to add those feathers you see above in the bible journaling entry: 

Here's a few close ups of the feathers, I used watercolors to create the feathers wispy feel.

Everyone deserves mercy, peace and love, seems like the world needs it more than ever at the present! I hope if you do bible journaling, I've inspired you to create some entries in a new way. If you don't, I hope I inspired you to try the "sketch" feature in a new way. ❤ Thanks for letting me share with you. 

Bible Journaling

Hello! Its Melissa here and today I'm back with you to share something thats a bit different than my usual 12x12 scrapbooking layouts.  I started Bible Journaling last year after being inspired by the ladies at Illustrated Faith.  To be honest I've been very intermittent with my journalling, however about 2-3 months ago I started reading the Bible on my iPhone in the night while I feed my baby. Being in the Word on a daily basis re-sparked my love for the Word, and just recently I've felt like creating in my Bible again.

I've been doing a devotion called "Tips on Motherhood" by Karen Stubbs, and one of the day's readings was on the importance of limiting our children on their technology use.  The scripture that accompanied the devotional was Ephesians 5:15-16, and as I read it I knew I needed to journal in my Bible.  The April Showers Cut File Set was perfect for my journaling.  I used my March Hip Kit, and Close To My Heart watercolour paints.

I love that the doodled border helps contain and highlight my journaling.  I selected my watercolour colours from the shades of colour in this Dear Lizzy paper.

The "Love" cloud was perfect to portray my love for my children, hence I need to limit their screen time.  I decided to cut the cloud on white cardstock, and back the tiny open hearts subtly with pink cardstock.

And here is the awesome cut file:

I hope I've inspired you to use these amazing cut files for projects other than scrapbook layouts too! 

Thanks for looking :)
