Take Me Deeper: Honour

Take Me Deeper is a weekly Bible Study from His Kingdom Come.  Each month we have a theme and the theme for July is Honour.

I wrote the prompts for this month with the aid of the series Rob Davey brought at Jubilee Church and a talk by Becky Webb on what it means to encounter the Kingdom of God like a child.   You can listen to Rob's Talks here.

This week's theme is Independence v Dependence

I glued Bible pages to the journal and covered them with gesso.  Then I used some Color Bloom sprays which reacted with the gesso.

I used a vine Thermofax screen to print the white image and then the black.  This screen will be available from the HKC Shop in mid-July.  I scraped the spare paint off the credit card onto my page.

I printed out the words and verses I wanted to use on my computer and then coloured the paper with Distress Inks.

I cut up the words and verses and stuck them to my pages.   I drew round the paper with a black pen and a white pen.

Thanks for stopping by.

850 and counting!

This is my 850th blog post since I started in May 2008.  Mind you the next post wasn't until December.    Here are my Stats: 155458 pageviews and this munber of posts over the years: ►  2008 (2), ►  2009 (7), ►  2010 (32), ►  2011 (137), ►  2012 (164), ►  2013 (261), ►  2014 (193) and to date ►  2015 (53).

My most visited blog post was about Dyan Reaveley in my Celebrating UK Artists series.

And the next most visited one was Playing - which is about a Dyan Reaveley technique!

This is the same technique in an altered book

I have loved blogging my craft journey and I hope you have enjoyed it too.

So by way of a celebration let's have a giveaway.  Leave a comment below and include whether you are from the UK or International and I will choose 2 names at random and send the two prizewinners (one UK & one International) some Happy Mail.

If you've never received Happy Mail - it's an envelope full of crafting goodies - papers, embellishments - anything really that's useful for scrapbooking or mixed media of any kind.

Leave your comment by Saturday 4th July and I will pick the winners at noon UK time.

And lastly a big thank you to all who have followed me over the years and to those who have left me lovely comments.

Thank you

Here's to the next 850!

Thanks for stopping by.

I've been busy

My word - it feels like forever since I blogged!

I've been really busy planning 3 new classes for His Kingdom Come on altered books.

I'll be giving more information in the next couple of weeks but I didn't want my wonderful readers to think I had forgotten them.  So for now here is a preview of the classes.

And here's a page from my finished book.  The theme of the book is The Promised Land and is based on Deuteronomy 8:7-8 

Such fun to make.

Come back to find out more.

Thanks for stopping by.
