Bible Journaling technique and a giveaway!

I tried a fun technique in my Journaling Bible this weekend, and wanted to share it with you - stay tuned to the end for a giveaway!  (Be sure to visit my other blog post for 2 more chances to win!) Here is the finished page - the words and journaling were inspired by this song, which always comes on the radio just at the right time...


The lyrics of the chorus are written in the corner:

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held


The words 'just be held' were masked with die cut Frog Tape - the Die Cut Masking tutorial is HERE.


I did a quick video to show how I added texture to the lamb and to the background. It's an easy technique that you can do with supplies you probably already have at home.




To celebrate the 9th anniversary of my blog, I have a NoteWorthy New Testament to give away! This pocket size Bible has a blank page on every spread, which is perfect for art or notes. Leave a comment before Friday (10/30) at midnight EST for a chance to win, and I'll announce a winner Saturday morning.

    Congratulations on your 9th year birthday/anniversary of blogging. I have been following you for years and feel like a winner already because you have such talent, which you share so freely here, as well as through your design team work and work with Splitcoast. You have inspired me, given me many moments of joy and happiness and taught me endless things. I want to thank YOU for doing that, and for doing it for so long. I used to blog, and had to stop due to illness, but I know how much work goes into blogging, and I truly admire you for doing this and for sharing your talent with us so freely.

    God bless you,
    Maureen

    This is beautiful, Dina. Congratulations on your 9 years as a blogger. As someone who is very hesitant to journal into my everyday Bible, but someone who loves what you do with it, I'd love to win this and give it a go! Thank you for the opportunity.
