Mixed Media Prayer Journal Tutorial Part 1

Creating a mixed media junk journal using scraps from my shop.  Part I shows the construction of the cover, book binding, and inside pages.


This book is going to be a prayer journal.  It will have areas for pics of family, journaling sections to keep track of prayer requests, praise reports, areas for scripture memory work, Bible study plans, as well as thoughts and reflections section.

Design theme will be vintage 18th Century, French and English influences, with a touch of shabby chic!

Working right now on video showing the mixed media tutorial of designing the cover, spine, and back panels.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed New Year!

Thank You In Any Language Is Lovely

I really enjoy designing thank you note cards for newly married couples.  It's a beautiful way to express themselves with personalize stationery using photos, their names, a personal messages, and scripture
that expresses their faith.

The note cards also show their character,  as well as the couples taste and style.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love. 
This seems to be a favorite among newlyweds.

Are Thank You note cards going out of style.  Nope!  It is never "out of style" to send someone a personal note of thanks.  This is when an email or telephone call just won't do the job as those lines of communication 
are just too informal.

 
Having personalized stationery and Thank You note cards that are blank inside, provides the opportunity to express a quick note of Thanks for a special kindnesses, appreciation, or thoughtfulness that someone has shown.  Great scripture for these kind of notes is Philippians 1:3- I thank my God
every time I remember you.

Whether its for wedding, baby shower, Bat Mitzvah, 1st Communion, graduation, or any of life's many moments, saying Thank You in any language demonstrates an expression of gratitude that is one of the basic courtesies that should never be neglected.
 
Much love and God bless,
