TMD backgrounds for June

As I mentioned there was a bit of a hiatus through April, May and June in my Take Me Deeper Journal.

For my June pages I decided to take inspiration from Diane's video Stencil, Spray & Stamp.  Rather than tear the pages to make 3 sections I made 4 sections.

I sprayed through the stencil as Diane instructed but then I turned the stencil over and pressed it onto the left hand page.

The pages look like this as you go through my journal.

Then I stamped through the stencil on the individual pages.  Closed they look like this.

Then I went back to each page and coloured the remainder of the page with Distress Ink.

Now everything is ready for the journaling or verses - whatever I choose to do.  Come back tomorrow to see what I did.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take Me Deeper for May

There was a bit of a gap in my Take Me Deeper journal.  I missed 3 weeks of April, and all of May and June.   I thought I would go back and have a bit of a catch up.

May's theme was Sanctuary.  I had done the backgrounds for the pages and blogged about it here.  So using those backgrounds here are my finished pages.

May week 1: Sustainable Living

May week 2: Dwelling in God's Presence

Week 3: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Week 4: Rhythms of Grace pt 1
This background was so busy and so black and I was thinking of painting over it but then I found this quote which is actually from Mary's prompt for Week 5 but I thought that the background was so restless and indicated the need for rest.

Week 5: Rhythms of Grace pt 2
Mary's prompt was about living water but my thoughts led to abiding in the vine.

I'm working on the missing pages from June next.

Thanks for stopping by.

Playing with Birds 2

In Playing with Birds I showed you how I set up my Folio for the bird Bible study.

I found some photos I had of birds and had them printed.  I put some mounts onto the flaps of the folio and then attached the photos.

I added various bits and pieces from my stash to the inside pages and put a very light covering of gesso on some of the more patterned pages so that I could write on them. I also used stamps and stick on letters.

I really loved doing this project.  The class is available at His Kingdom Come.   Why not try it?

Thanks for stopping by.
