Gratitude Documented Unboxing & SALE (Illustrated Faith)

I'm so excited to get to share the new Illustrated Faith Bible Journaling kit 'Gratitude' with you today and a bit of how I'm using mine. I know November has become the month to create a Gratitude journal but I would encourage you to start today and don't stop after November. Keep it going all year long. A grateful heart keeps you open and ready to receive God's blessings in your life. Even when things may not be going exactly as planned or the way you'd like them when you have a heart that's grateful for the many blessings in your life and focused on that it's amazing what can happen.

Thankful Mini Album with Paper House & Tombow

Hello everyone! I was so excited to play with some of Tombows markers. I decided right away that I wanted to do some stamping and coloring with them. I grabbed my Autumn Woods collection and decided to go with a gratitude mini album. I cut cardstock down to create the base then covered with some of the wood grain patterned paper. I don't know about you but when I started scrapbooking tombow was the first glue I ever used and it's never disappointed. The liquid mono was perfect to create this mini album with because it's fast drying and so strong.

  PH tombow



 I stamped the phrase then used the twin tone bright dual tip markers to color them in. I used green at the top and red at the bottom and blended together in the middle. It created a beautiful fall color that reminded me of fall leaves. The pumpkin border paper was perfect to finish the cover off. I stamped some leaves then colored them in to decorate the front and throughout the album.

 For the inside I used the stick on pockets to tuck little tags into. I cut tags out of two different papers then decorated them and now they're ready to add grateful sayings and  some photos to.

  PH T 1

Once I had everything together I had fun going back and adding little bits of embellishments to each of the tags and pockets. There's so many gorgeous bits and pieces in the Autumn Woods collection it was hard to stop adding them in. You can see the full process here on my youtube channel Thankful Mini Album process.

PH t 2


I hope you enjoyed my little album today and will try your hand at making one.

Word Nerd Daily Scripture Writing

Some products may have been given to me to use or for review. Regardless all opinions are my own and I only work with product I love. Some links may be affiliate links. It doesn't cost you anymore to use them but helps support this blog and youtube channel which I greatly appreciate!!

My favorite crafty time right now is my daily scripture writing. I use my planner from Dayspring and have tried different plans I've found on the internet. This month when I saw the Word Nerd kit from Illustrated Faith I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my daily scripture writing.


I fell in love with this little girl silhouette with her messy bun and knew that's where I would start. I decided to add some patterned paper and decorate one whole page to really show her off. I'm taking scriptures from the weekly prompts and journal cards to study then pick ones I want to write and really meditate on.


It's so important to get into the word and let it take root in our hearts so the holy spirit can bring it to our remembrance when we need it. Life can get busy and circumstances can spin out of control at a moments notice. At that point it's really if you don't have the word rooted in your heart to draw from.

I know now that I'm working full time and a crazy amount of hours that life can become so busy that its easy to let our study of the word to slide but I urge you to make it a priority. I can't tell yu how many times situations have come up at work and I've had a word come up from my spirit to speak peace to the situation or give me wisdom I need to work out a problem I'm facing. Jesus will stick closer than any friend or relative and is always there to comfort and guide us if we're living in his word and know his voice. If you're not taking the time to spend with him you'll not recognize his voice when he speaks.


If you haven't tried daily scripture writing I encourage you to try it. It's amazing how much you soak up by dwelling in the word and then writing it out. I also love having a theme all documented out and can quickly go back to a month for encouragement.

Here's a look at everything in this months kit.
