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!⁠⁠ 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!⁠⁠ It's my birthday, and I want to celebrate by offering a discount on my online courses! Use the code "HAPPYSCRAPPY" to save 20% on either of my online courses:⁠⁠ I wrapped up my study of “What Jesus Commands” last week, so I am up on YouTube this morning sharing a full flip-through of my entries with you all! This was a great opportunity to dive deep into scripture, and definitely had me thinking! It's my birthday month! 🎉 I am celebrating in the pages of my classic Happy Planner, starting with the monthly layout. I never used to use my monthly layouts, but have really started enjoying them this year. Check out the full pre-planning and planning process over on my YouTube channel!⁠⁠ I just got the MOST beautiful shipment from @scrapbookcom 💕💕 I picked up a ton from the new @vickiboutin line “Color Study”, pieces from @maggiehdesign ‘s “Garden Party”, @pinkfreshstudio “Keeping it Real”, and of course the new Distress Oxide color! Go check out the full unboxing on my channel! I have been using a faith planner for about 9 months now, and have been loving it for my morning quiet time. I was recently inspired by @kenyadoll_plans to use my Happy Planner supplies to create a "war binder". This will house devotional notes, prayers, sermon notes, discipline focus, and power verses. This was so fun to set up, and I can't wait to start using it in the month of May! I have a video up on my channel walking you through the full set-up...feel free to check it out! Inspired by the beautiful spring that I am getting to observe through my windows on a daily basis 💜 Full process for this art journal entry is on my YouTube channel!⁠
