6: Honouring Leaders part 1

Today is the sixth of eight sessions from the Bible Study in 1 Corinthians called A Culture of Honour. On this blog I shall be posting about my creative response to each session. Session 6 is called Honouring Leaders.

I am using the same techniques and stamps and inks on each page as described for session 1.

Stencilled

Stamped

Tissue tape added and then the journaling.

Today's jounraling prompts included:

What name have you given yourself? What name has God given you?

My given name - Bernice - comes from the Greek name Berenike (where we also get the Nike brand name from). Berenike means Bringer of Victory.

Thanks for stopping by.

5: Honouring Others part 2

Today is the fifth of eight sessions from the Bible Study in 1 Corinthians called A Culture of Honour. On this blog I shall be posting about my creative response to each session. Session 5 is called Honouring Others.

I am using the same techniques and stamps and inks on each page as described for session 1.

I returned to the sage and blackberry colour scheme.

And added the dandelions, stamping with Distress Ink.

Instead of a list I wrote some journaling!

Thanks for stopping by.

It's my birthday today

and to celebrate I thought I would do a giveaway. Well, actually two - one for the UK and one International. The goody bags will contain assorted ribbons, buttons, metal bits, stick ons, scrapbook papers, old music and book pages - everything you might need for scrapbooking, altered books or mixed media art.

All you need to do is make a comment at the bottom of this post and say whether you are UK or International. I will put your names into a draw and two of you will get a bag of goodies.

When I was 60 I planned to make a list of things I wanted to do during the rest of my life. I never made the list. For this blog post I was going to list 65 important things that have happened to me but that taxed the brain cell. So instead here's a history of me in pictures.
