Devotion Journaling for Your Planner

(FTC disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links so, if you purchase a product using the link I may receive a small commission. I only participate in affiliate programs that feature products that I use and love. Your purchase price is not affected in any way, by using my links)

Have you been thinking about diving into Bible journaling?  I've been leaning in that direction and I think it's a beautiful art form, but I still haven't decided on which one to use.   I also thought about starting a devotion art journal, going so far as to scope out different journals here and there, locally.  I finally decided to use what I have on hand.  My planner.  I have a lot of great pages that are currently not being used; pages other than the 31 squares on a 2 page spread.  So why not just do some devotion journaling in my planner? 

I use the Adornit Coloring Planner which is a 3 ring binder and perfect for adding extra pages, if I need to.  I'm also discovering some really good benefits to devotion journaling in my planner.  Number one, I love to color and guess what?  There are pages to color.  Number two, I have a lot going on in my life, between church, work, my son's school activities and Band..... I need to be organized.  And number three?  It's good to keep your spiritual life in check, if you are of that mind set, which I am.  It seems like the obvious choice, for me now, is devotion journaling in my planner.  I'm using the Adornit Art Play image "Be Brave" designed by Lindsay Ostrom, Adornit Documented Faith planner stamps and Adornit Documented Faith stickers on my project.  Goodness, you can even get coordinating washi tape!

I have always had trouble remembering scripture.  As I get older, it does NOT get any better!  However, I've noticed with the devotion journaling, I'm remembering scripture better, making better connections and it's great to have these references in my planner that I can look back on.  You know, one day, when I'm long gone from this world, I hope my son will find these pages and have a better understanding of me.  I hope it fills him with joy and that he'll share these pages with his own children.  This devotion today focuses on Matthew 6:26 and is all about leaving your worries behind. 

I tend to be the big worry wart in our family.  Constantly thinking of things down the road, like college for the kid, retirement, a leaky roof!  What I know, and what I need to constantly be reminded of is this; I will never have control over these things.  In fact, God is in control and my job is to let him take care of all of it.  Pray more, worry less! 

Although I'm using an Adornit coloring planner, you can use the same products that I'm using today in your own planner.  Just customize them to your own needs on your planner pages, as I've done on mine.  Or, grab yourself one of the fabulous Adornit Coloring Planners; there are four to choose from.  I'm using the Be Happy Planner.  The differences in the four planners are this - a different cover and different dashboards inside to color for each month.  All of the actual loose leaf papers inside are the same for all four planners.  They are also not dated, allowing you to customize and start using your planner the day you receive it.

Water Colored Beach Scene for TPD Stamps

Good morning crafters!  Today, I'm sharing this lovely watercolored card using the brand spanking new stamp set from TPD Stamps, "Way To Go".  This is one of the newest sets in the June release and is perfect to celebrate those milestones; birthdays, graduation, etc.

To begin, I stamped my image, then used my Tombow dual brush markers to watercolor by swiping across an acrylic block, spritzing with water and grabbing the color with my Tim Holtz water brush to begin painting.  A little blotting with a paper towel, helps to get that "cloud" look for the sky. 

If you'll notice the picket fence stamp in the graphic further down, you might spot that I flipped it and used the bottom, flat end for my watercolored wood plank fence.  I love it when a stamp offers duality.  For my sea grass, I stamped first in brown, then again in white, using my Ranger Picket Fence dabber on my stamp.

Purchase "Way to Go", here.

Shine On with Adornit Art Play Paintables

(FTC disclosure: I have been compensated in product and all opinions are my own.  I only promote products that I use and love.)

News Flash:  Did you know Adornit Art Play Paintables were introduced in 2014?  Did you also know that everyone (and their brother) has tried to copy their formula ever since?  Well, that's my opinion at least.  Carolee McMullins is the owner/designer at Adornit and, once again, created a trend that others have tried to imitate. 

Adornit has always been an innovator in the creative market with products that range from specialty fabrics, wood products, designer papers and of course, the Art Play line which includes coloring books, coloring planners and more.  Not to mention, the Adornit Shoppes and their clothing line!

Adornit Art Play Paintables "Shine On"

Carolee McMullins knows that, in order to be successful, you must surround yourself with like minded people, judging by the success of her company and the designers that she partners with; Lindsay Ostrom, Michelle Hamilton and Stephanie Ackerman.

I was excited to color up this flamingo image, from the "Shine On" Art Play.  You'll be seeing more from me in the coming weeks, however, here's a close-up of my colored image.  I used Tombows and watercolored much of it, including those fun polka dots in various colors.  You can see by the photo above, that I took some liberty with the cup and straw, adding watercolored stripes to my straw and green polka dots on my cup.  I actually modeled that cup after a set of green polka dot glassware that I have at home.

You can shop for all of the Adornit Play Products, here.

Look for the new Art Play Paintables to be in stores soon.  Be sure you're in the know by following Adornit on their social media.   Happy Crafting and thanks for stopping by!  Terri

My card today features the newest stamp from TPD Stamps, "Teacups 2", one the new release stamps for June.  There are several coffee/tea themed stamps that have been released this month, so I hope you'll stop by their online store and take a look.  I'm also using the "Coffee and Friends" sentiment stamp,  I love the size, it's rather large and would be perfect for scrapbooking as well.

I've chosen summer colors to go along with my Webster's Pages elements from their June planner collection designed by Megan Hoeppner that includes these fun poolside elements with the striped cardstock and beach sky and water hidden behind those enamel dots.

Sketch and Coffee/Tea/Cocoa Challenge at TPD Stamps

It's time for a new challenge at Two Paper Divas Stamps and this month we're having a sketch and themed challenge; coffee/tea/cocoa.  Take your pick!  I'm a fan of all three but if I was stranded on a desert island and could only choose one?  It would be coffee, hands down.

For today's project, I'm using a couple stamp sets from the June release.  I chose to color up my "Teacups 2" stamped images with my Zig Clean Color brushes.

Next, I inked up sentiments from the "Keep Calm and Drink" set.   To get those fun splatters, unscrew your ink misting spray and "tap" droplets onto your paper.  I'm using Bo Bunny Bronze Shimmer Spray.

I intentionally colored my teacups to match my papers of choice, the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection from Crate Paper.   My Pen Blade comes in handy for trimming out the inside of the teacup handles.

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge!  Scroll down if you'd like to purchase the stamps that I've used today.  You can find the challenge and Inlinkz button to link your project here.  This challenge will run for 2 weeks and of course, there will be a fun prize up for grabs.
