I have been meaning to do this simple palm leaf painting tutorial for years, but somehow it always got skipped. Then, after sharing my watercolor monstera tutorial (*cough- it also includes a free printable- cough*) last week, I had so…

My son Clark turns A YEAR OLD tomorrow, March 29th! We had a big party planned, but of course, with the Coronavirus, we canceled it and it’ll just be our little family of three celebrating. His party was a “wild…

These times facing Covid-19 are crazy, aren’t they? It is so hard not to let fear or anxiety to creep in, especially when the future seems so unknown. But, we can rest in the truth that God is always good and he is present. Together, we will get through this.
I hand-lettered eight (of the very very many) encouraging verses to help us overcome our anxieties and fears and uncertainties. It is available as a free download/ Printable!

I was flipping through one of my first Journaling Bibles the other day (this one here) and I came upon one of my favorite Bible journaling pages, which was this two-page entry with watercolor branches. I did this page only a few months into Bible art journaling, and it was one of those pages that I was just sooo proud of. I’m still proud of it!
Since it has been over three years since I created my first watercolor branches two-page spread, I figured it was a good time to recreate it!

Psalms 143:6 “I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.”
When I read this verse I knew I needed to journal it in my Bible. Of course, the first thing to pop into my mind was a desert. I decided to paint this desert scene and add some simple lettering. I felt like it was the perfect representation of this verse, and that helped me to stay focused on the Word while painting it. My soul thirsts for you Lord!

So I was watching “The Bachelor” a couple of weeks ago (I know, I know, bear with me), and at one point during the show, one of the girls was talking to the bachelor, Peter, about how she has fun…

Masking fluid (or liquid frisket, or liquid mask) is similar to rubber cement. It’s used in art to cover a section of your canvas or paper so that you can paint over it and then peel the masking fluid off and reveal what was underneath it (i.e. white canvas/paper). There are SO MANY ways that masking fluid can be used. Today I’m just showing a glimpse of it.

I have been really into creating simple and easy Bible journaling pages lately! When I say that, or “beginner friendly” you may think what I am going to share will look very basic or boring. But it’s so not true! Just because these pages are easy to do doesn’t mean they look simple!

But I am a huge proponent to trying things that are new or out of our comfort zones! I think it’s SO IMPORTANT to not just stick to the things we know! Because we can’t learn new skills if we DONT TRY!
So, I bucked up my hesitation and picked up a micron pen and started doodling flower shapes. And quickly as I could. Not stopping for more than a second or thinking much at all about what I was doing. And you know what?! It turned out pretty darn cool!

A while ago I did a four week series on Bible journaling with household objects. I Bible journaled using things like forks, bubble wrap, and even vegetables! I also did a few pages using q-tips!
Q-tips are so much fun to use to create art! They are cheap and easy to use, and there is actually a surprising amount of things you can do with them! The most obvious way to use them is to create dots!
