art journaling in my bible

I have a confession!  I can't remember the last time I did any art journaling in one of my journals!  I adore making tags and they are often my 'go to' when I want to make something small or quick...

...and I've been doing my planner pages some months

but the other place I've been art journaling is in my bible.

I appreciate this isn't for everyone, but I've found it's made me want to read my bible more, and the visual imagery means I remember things better. Sometimes it's like a treasure hunt - I adore the imagery of stars and there's plenty of references to them so lots of opportunities to play!

One of my favourite pages is one of the simplest ...

Journaling bibles like this one, with extra wide margins to write in (or stencil, paint, doodle, stamp...) had sold out worldwide but they are now back in the shops....

...and my latest imagery hunt is for references to autumn and spring rains!  I think I may be affected by the current weather ;)

a quick little tag and some news

I put a couple of these tags together this morning using Brusho inked paper from my scrap paper box, an Impression Obsession stamp I got at the last Happy Stampers show and the 'I am Enough' stamps from Illustrated Faith.  Then I got a fabulous surprise on a trip to my local Hobbycraft ...

They had the latest Craft Stamper magazine in stock (not due on news stands until 4th Sept; subscriptions have shipped but I don't have one ...yet!).  Trish has done a fabulous revamp of the magazine, it looks amazing and is chock full of gorgeous projects.  I am very honoured to have been asked to write a step by step article that is featured this month!
