Humbled by Your Creation

Bible Journaling for Citrus Twist Kits  - HUMBLED BY YOUR CREATION -

Hi there!

It is almost time for  a new set of kits from Citrus Twist Kits (and they are gorgeous), and since we are entering the Advent season, i was inspired to create an entry all about God's love for us.  He truly is a loving God who created perfection for us even wehen he knew we were weak and will fail.

For this page, I pulled my Pinkfresh Studio watercolors, to create a late night sky.   I had been reading Genesis throughout the day, and before going to bed, i decided to use all my gratitude for the day to create this entry.

Once the background dried, I went ahead and added some doodle stars using the yellow paint included in the Grace Box, and also used  my white jelli pen to doodle some starbursts and add more stars with  more specific words of what i was thankful for that day.  Then cut the gold star trim, and glued each one around my sky.

It was such a clear night that the sky outside my window actually showed stars,  so i turned my prayer into the title for this entry.  For that i used the alphas -from Pinkfresh Studio- and some GraceBox stamps to add sentiment to the page.

To finish the page, i added a small reflexion on the day, and how the grandeur of it al just fills my heart with hope of what he has created for us, and even more of what awaits for us once Jesus calls us to his side.  Here is the completed entry:

I love how this turned out, especially since this has become one of the first entries you see on my journaling bible.  The contents of this month's CTK Grace Box are truly so versatile that i cannot seen to be able to put it down.

Remember to check Citrus Twist Kits for the new kits -being revealed in a few days- and all the other kits and stamps available.   Please let me know if you have questions on how this was put together.

Filled with Gratitude

Bible Journaling for Citrus Twist Kits   - FILLED WITH GRATITUDE -

Hi there!

It seems just like yesterday when i started my #thankful30 journey, well the Gratitude Journal is filled and completed, and what better way to celebrate it than to take some time to thank GOD for whom all is possible.  So, I decided to focus on Psalms:1-2 to create my small celebration

"I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;  

  I will recount all of our wonderful deeds.

  I will be glad and rejoice in you;

  I will sing praises to your name, O Most High."

This month's Citrus Twist Kits Grace Box is gorgeous, and if you love florals, then the new Pink Paislee's Whimsical collection ephemera is included in this kit.  So, i pulled a few of the florals, and pieces from both the scrapbook and embellishment  Sunshine in my Soul kits to create this page.

First i free hand drew  a mason jar on vellum, and painted with VIcki Boutin crayons, so that it looks like filled with water.   I made sure to add a slit to the top of the drawing were i can slide the florals through.  Next,  I used this month's stamp set (included in the kit) to create a bit of interest to the background using blue ink)

I added alphas from both the Scrapbook and Grace Box kits as well as some stamping to the jar to complete my title.  I used the stamp also to create the small sentiment at the bottom of the title and jar, and decided to tuck my journal lines in a small printable label (available for free at the Citrus Twist kits shop).  A few puffy stickers complete this small cluster.

Before creating the flower cluster, i added a bit of stamping to the background to match that at the bottom of the page.   Then used all those beautiful florals from the Whimsical ephemera pack included in the Grace Box.  I took a bit off the white border so that the flowers will mix nicer together.  Then added a few puffy stickers and those glorious rub ons from the embellishment kit.  Here is final layout:

How beautiful is our LORD, he has made it all possible, and we get to celebrate his love everyday.  Remember to stop by Citrus Twist Kits to check all the details of the kits, especially the Grace Box kit.  I have created some of my most beautiful bible entries with it!

As always let me know if youi have questions on how this came all together!

I Am Woven By His Love

Bible Journal spread created for Citrus Twist Kits  - I AM WOVEN BY HIS LOVE -

Hi there friends,

Nathalie with you today sharing a bit of my bible Journaling journey with you all.   If you follow my blog or work, then you would know that i color in my Bible, but just recently started sharing a few of my faith related projects.

This month's Citrus Twist Kits Grace Box is filled withso many beautiful pieces that it was so easy to put together this spread.    As soon as i saw the "WOVEN" die cut in the ephemera pack, i knew that i wanted to document Psalm 140:13-14:

"For you formed my inward parts,
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well."

First i created the background for the page using the stencil set included in the kit, and Vicki Boutin's acrylic pop paints.   To get the soft look of the flowers, the paint was applied using a baby wipe.  Once it dried,  a bit of detailing was added using a black fine liner; this helps define the stenciled flowers.

To create the title of this page, I used a combination of the stamp set and alphas included in this month's CTK Grace Box, and then added the large "WOVEN" die cut in it.   All those puffy stickers are perfect to add some embellishments to the page.    I am not a clip-kinda-girl, but the kit had all this pieces of fabric that matched the colors perfectly, so I tied one of the pieces to a heart clip, and mark the page with this clip.

I love how this turned out!  The soft flower stencils form the perfect background for the sentiment  that this page conveys!.

Stop by the Citrus Twist Kits Shop to check this month's Grace Box.   It is so versatile that you will have plenty of goodies to transform your Bible entries and faith memory keeping.

AS always  let me know if you have questions on this was put together.

XO!

Together Always

Bible Journal spread created for Citrus Twist Kits  - TOGETHER ALWAYS -

Hi there!

Today I want to share with you  something very dear and near to my heart.  I think not a lot of you know that i love to color in my bible.  I have been putting color and the word together for a couple years now in different ways ( personal journal, layouts, and bible illustration), so this month i will show you a few of how, what and why I love this form of devotionals.

For this page, I am using this month's Citrus Twist Kits Grace Box.   This small kit can easily be classified as a multi-media kit, as it is so versatile.  The color combo is superb, vibrant and beautiful just perfect to bring the Word to live in color.

This page focuses on ISAIAH 41:10 - " Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I willuphold you with my righteous right hand."   and was inspired by ISAIAH 40-31.

It all started with applying a thin layer of the teal paint to the gessoed bible page. Heavy on the journaling panel, and thinner as it approached the words.  I made sure to highlight the verses that inspire this page.

A bit of white acrylic paint was used to create extra details on the page.  The butterflies were punched from some of the kit's papers and glued around the page. 

To create the title, I used a combination of the exclusive die cuts and alphas included in this month's CTK Grace Box.  The stamp set included is so gorgeous, and perfect to convey the sentiment of the page.

Love how this turned out.   The combination of color, stamps and paper is perfet to remind me of my Lord's promised of being by my side at all times.  Here is a small video on how this page came together:

I hope this inspires you to stop by Citrus Twist Kits to check this month's Grace Box kit, and all the other kits available, they are truly gorgeous.

As always please contact me if you have questions on how this turned out.
