Journaling Bible-Acts 4:12

Happy Tuesday to you!!! Boy I have been so busy with work and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I hadn't had any time to sit down with my journaling bible. 

I worked on this one the other night....and it felt so wonderful to finally have some quiet time to reflect on God's word.

Acts 4:12 "And there is SALVATION in no one else for there is NO OTHER name under Heaven."

You can only find your Salvation through ONE God.....our God.

Details: Letter stickers: The Paper Studio, Round sticker: Dear Lizzy, at the bottom: Washi Tape 

I am enjoying my afternoon off. Hoping to get some crafting done! Have a blessed day!

Who Rescued Who?

My son sent me this sign the other night that said, "Who Rescued Who?"


He said it reminded him of me and our new rescue: Handsome. I guess it's true to some point, because when I'm holding him, or playing with him, I think to myself...who's happier, Me? or Handsome? LOL

This was "Hank" and "Handsome" (we named them because they had no tags) back in September when we found them along a busy intersection about 5 miles out of town. 

Hank is up for adoption at the San Antonio Human Society, I still worry about 

him. I KNOW he's in good hands there, but I just hope and pray he finds a forever loving home. 

We had 3 big dogs already, and just could not keep both of them.

And this is Handsome. He gets along well with our poodle Bella. They play together which is big plus, because Bella needed a playmate. 

Have a blessed Wednesday!

Thanks again to Judy's Ark and Fresh and Clean Dog Grooming for all their help!

Week 46 in my Ochre Malden & Some Handmade Dividers

First of all...Thank YOU to all the service men and women that have served and protected our country in the past and present. God bless each and every one of you. I, myself, have several veteran's in our family. Thank you!!!!

Everyone that knows me, knows I love animals....always have. They are God's creatures, and I care for them Great and Small. 

For Week 46 I'm using some super cute dog stickers I found at WalMart, plus I'm using a Poodle Paper clip that I bought off someone on our Facebook group. :) I'm so happy I got these from her!

The other day I was at Michael's and found these on clearance for $3.

I loved the dividers w/ tabs at the top. It had cardstock sheets, embossed papers?, stickers, and 4 sheets of photo page protectors. (I'll show you how I used those on another post later). 

I cut some of the dividers to fit my  planner and laminated them. Now they fit perfectly in 

my Personal size Ochre Malden Planner. 

I will using the other bits and pieces of this kit when I'm making handmade cards. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed Tuesday.

Journaling Bible: Jeremiah 31:3

Happy Monday to all of you! Hope your week has started out with a smile! I am off today so it was so nice getting up at my own my pace. No rushing around...even got to make breakfast for the hubby and myself!

Today's verse is Jeremiah 31:3
"I have loved you with an Everlasting love."

Again, I used random stickers. I have such a large stash from my scrapbooking days, so I usually 

look thru that before shopping. The "Love" sticker was from a valentine's set. It said "Love Stuck" so I just cut it apart. :)

I found the Washi Tape at Home Goods in a set of 4. 

Have a wonderful Monday!

Journaling Bible: Be Still.......

Hope your Friday is going well! I am enjoying my day off. Taking things slow and trying to get some stuff done around the house.
I stopped for a while, to do some journaling in my bible.

In all honesty...I started this page with Distress Ink...and thought, "OMG! What have I done!?" 
I've seen others use it, and it looks so pretty...but when I applied it, I knew for sure, I had ruined my page. 
I took a step back, took a deep breath, and thought to myself, "It will be okay. You are not trying to win an art contest. Keep going." Which by the way, I could never win any kind of art prize!! LOL

Isaiah 46:10: "Be Still and Know that I am God."

 I used some alphabet stamps for "be" by Autumn Leaves. 
The word "STILL" is some rub-ons by Making Memories that I normally LOVE using, but I'm guessing w/ the distress ink had a hard time sticking....
The other letters are random alphabet stickers. 
In all...it's okay. Not one of my favorites...but the verse itself IS one of my faves!!!

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Journaling Bible......Arise, Shine.....

Hope your week has started out well. It sure has been a busy one so far! 

Today's entry is plain, in my opinion. I guess because I don't usually aim to "Wow" someone with my layouts. I go with how I am feeling, or a simple way to get the verse across. 

So here's Isaiah 60:1

"Arise, shine, for you light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you."

Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by my blog.

Journaling Bible: I can do ALL things.........

Good Monday to you!!! Still trying to adjust to this daylight savings, usually takes me a few weeks! 

Today I'm sharing, Philippians  4:13

"I can do All things through Him that Strengthens Me!"

Hope you have a blessed Monday!

Week 45 in my Planner and Some Rescue Dogs.

This week in my planner I am using this cute dog character I just discovered: Boofle. Why? Well, read below:

About 2 months ago, we discovered these dogs on a busy farm road. Someone had dumped them there to fend for themselves.It took some coaxing but we finally got them to trust us and we put them in our truck and brought them home. 

With the help of our local shelter: Judy's Ark and local groomer Fresh and Clean Dog Grooming, they were cleaned up, neutered, and given all shots. They were ready to be adopted into a forever, loving home. 

We decided to keep the little one, he was named by our groomer: "Handsome". He got along really well with our black poodle Bella, so we decided to make him a part of our family. 

Sadly, we could not keep them both. We already have 4 other dogs of our own. 

Here's the before and after photos:

                    This was back in September when we found them. They slept in brush and among trash. As 18 wheelers and traffic went by them, they sat and waited for their owners to come back. 

I named this one Hank, he is up for adoption at the San Antonio Human Society.

And this is Handsome today:

And these are my planner pages for this week...in honor of Hank!

These stickers are super cute. The dog's name is Boofle. Found them at WalMart in the card section. 

 I've never heard of this character, but

to me, he resembles Hank. A dog I am thankful I got to help.

This is in my personal size Ochre Malden. 

and in my A5 Pink Domino.

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

Journaling Bible: Hebrews 11:1

HI there! I hope your week has started off well. Today I'd like to show you my entry for 
Hebrews 11:1

"Now Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

3D stickers are my Jolee's Boutique. My daughter, got me these from Hobby Lobby!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Week 44 in my Ochre Malden

Yes, this is my 2nd post for today. Taking advantage of being home. I'm loving it!

I don't really "do" Halloween. All of our kids are grown and out of the house. We live out in the country so no visiting trick or treaters. and...we don't celebrate Halloween. 

So I did pumpkins, mouse and owls! 

The black washi is by Smash, and the stickers are from Target's $ spot. 

The cute owl paperclip was bought off a person on a Facebook group. 

For Fall, I'm using my Personal size Ochre Malden. 

Have a great day!

Journaling Bible: Luke 1:37

Hi there! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!! I know I am! I am off from work today...using up those last vacation days. 

I'd like to share a very well known bible verse with you today: Luke 1:37 "For Nothing is Impossible with God". 

He IS the almighty and makes ALL things possible! 

Have a BLESSED day!

Journaling Bible: if God is for Us?

Happy Wednesday! Boy, we are half way through the week already! This is a simple entry, in Romans 8: If God is for us, Who can be against us?

That's all that really matters, right? 

have a great day!

Be blessed!

Journaling Bible: Caleb

Today is a SPECIAL day!!! 

My first born son turns 25 today! Where have the years gone!?

I remember sitting in church, and I was about 5 months pregnant. I saw the name Caleb in my bible and thought…”that’s his name, we shall name him Caleb”.  I didn’t know at the time, that we were having a boy, but I knew if we did…that was his name!

I remember his first day of kindergarten, teaching him to drive, first day of college, and his move into his new apartment. Some days I miss him so much, he's always been my "right hand man", he was always there for me. Now he's moved on and is a young adult, he makes me extremely proud. Happy Birthday Caleb! Love you to the Moon and back! 

So…in honor of my son’s name, I worked on Numbers 14:24:
"But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it."

Have a blessed day!

Happy Birthday Lil' Cowboy!

This past weekend, we celebrated my nephew's 1st Birthday. His parents, mostly his mama, did a wonderful job at decorating for the party. She even set up a  "photo prop" w/ hay bales, pumpkins, and my dad's saddle. My nephew had a wonderful time!

I wanted his 1st birthday cards to be special, so these are the 2 that I made for him. 

Image by 2 Cute Rubberstamps. Stars and printed cardstock are by ___. and Stickers are by____. Will have to come back and edit because I'm typing this at work on my lunch break and can't remember! LOL 

This image is by Pink Cat Studios. 

Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Journaling Bible: Hold Fast....

Happy Monday to you! Heard this verse in church yesterday and it stuck. So I thought I'd journal it lastnight. 
This is in Revelations 3:11: Hold fast what you have, so that NO ONE may seize your Crown! 

I'm not sure who makes the pink and blue alphabet stickers, they are extras from an open package. The black ones used in seize are by Stickos. Found those at Michael's. Crown is by Hallmark I believe. 

Page flag are from Target's $1 spot. 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I did! We celebrated my nephew's 1st Birthday with a Lil' Cowboy themed party. I'll show you pictures of the cards I made for him on tomorrow's post. 

Have a blessed day!

Journaling Bible: Seek First the Kingdom of God

Wow! Monday already! Hopefully many of you are home because of our great holiday: Columbus Day! I am off today, but will be going in for a Dr's visit. Taking advantage of my off time. 

Wanted to share this one with you today:

Items used: Green Letters stickers from WalMart, Crown Sticker, Cross Washi-Tape, Cross Paper clip and Sharpie Fine Markers. 

Sorry this is so short..I've got lots to do today.

Journaling Bible: God is my Strength and My Song

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday! I know I am. It's a beautiful day!!!

Thought I'd share this verse with you....it brings a smile to my heart. 

Exodus 15:2--"The Lord is my Strength and my Song and He has become my Salvation."

  These are the supplies I used. I forgot to take a picture of the little bird rubberstamp I used. It's been out of the packaging so I'm not sure who makes this one. It's those that you buy for about 1.50 and they come by themselves. All of this stuff is from my scrapbooking stash. I did find this cute paper pad at Ross for $3, it's by Basic Grey.

    Everything here is from my stash too, except those adorable Pink Alphabet stickers, but daughter got me those at Hobby Lobby...by The Paper Studio. 

Have a Blessed Saturday!!!

Journaling Bible: Fishers of Men

WooHoo! It's Friday!!! I have been looking forward to this day ALL week!!! You see, I'm off! I'm using a vacation day to stay home and relax, and clean, and craft!!! I've done 2 of 3, can you guess which? Heck...there's all day to clean!!! LOL

My daughter loves to fish, and she's got this pretty fishing hook necklace she found online, as I thought of that, I remembered this verse in 

Matthew 4:19, 'Follow me and I will make you Fishers of Men'. 

Image is a Magnolia stamp.

I used supplies I had on hand....I didn't have red and blue stickers, so I used some white ones that I found in my old scrapbooking stash and colored them in w/ Sharpies! 

 These rub-on letters are by Making Memories...I've had these for years! I love them!

Have a blessed Friday! I'm looking forward to my longggg 3 day weekend!

Journaling Bible: He that is In You....

Good afternoon!!! Have you heard the song "Greater" by Mercy Me? It's an awesome song!

I love the words!! I heard this verse again in church this past Sunday: 

1 John 4:4 "for he who is in you is greater than he that is in the world"....

I knew I wanted to use a picture of our earth..but my drawing skills are not very good. So I found a set of school stickers in my old stash and cut it apart to make this! 

Here are my supplies that were used:

Have a great evening!!!

Be blessed!!!!

Journaling Bible: Trust in the Lord

Happy Saturday!!! I rarely post on weekends, but it was such a busy week I didn't get any journaling or blogging done.

Today I'm sharing Proverbs 3:5, 
"Trust in the Lord with all Your Heart".....

I made the black tag with cardstock, but used another tag as a pattern. The twine was on the tag I used as a pattern, these were found at Target $1 spot. White paint pen is from Walmart and the Vellum heart was in my scrapbooking stash. I used a red marker to color it in. 

Have a blessed Saturday!!
