Could this new set from @kellybangscreative be any cuter? The answer is no, no it could not. "Call Her Blessed" celebrates all the women in our lives who serve others selflessly, often in unseen and unappreciated ways. Perfect as a way to continue your Mother's Day celebration! Check out the new faith planning process video on my channel today :)ā ā  "For if grace woke me to God's presence in the world and in my heart, it also woke me to his absence. I never truly felt the pain of unbelief until I began to believe." -Christian Wiman, "My Bright Abyss"ā ā  I am up on the Creative Retreat channel today, sharing a time in my life when I felt lost, stumbling around in the dark. I truly believe that God sends us slivers of light, enough to light our path and strengthen us to survive what can feel like a dark time šŸ’• I am low-key obsessed with the new @vickiboutin line "Color Study". And by low-key, I mean that I want all the things, and I want two of them! I used the papers and ephemera this week to add a ton of color to my memory planning spread, and I have absolutely no regrets! Full process is up on my YouTube channel!ā ā  I am rethinking my stamp storage over on my YouTube channel today. How do you like to sort your stamps when you are organizing them? Theme? Company? Release? Let me know! Y'all know that I like to change up my process each month for journaling through the @bythewell4god devotionals. It always helps me to have fresh eyes when I am studying God's Word! This month, I decided to create mini file folder for each day of the devotional so that I could document the tidbits and insights about all the key figures we are studying. I am sharing all about my setup and plans over on my YouTube channel today! I am still trying to get back into the swing of art journaling, and this Dina Wakley media journal continues to challenge me in HUGE ways. But, I am giving it my best and learning as I grow! Check out the full process on my YouTube channel!ā ā  The last 15 months have been so long, so full of trials. While we are all loving imagining what it will be like as things return to "normal", I am very thankful that I will not be returning to who I was in February 2020. God has used the last year to shape me, to deepen my relationship with Him, and to change me in big ways. Being shaped by trials is never easy, but we can always be reassured that the results of those trials will lead to a greater conclusion than we could possibly imagine. For this layout, I used the new set from Shawna Clingerman called "Imagine". Check out the full process on my channel!ā ā  It's my birthday, and I want to celebrate by offering a discount on my online courses!
