Glimpses of Jesus 23

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about Jesus being described as King in Psalm 2:1-12.

Still keeping my journal pages simple, I stuck in part of a world map which was from my scrapbooking stash.  I stamped 'ask me for the nations' with a new set of stamps I bought from Tiger at the weekend.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

Thanks for stopping by.

Almost finished or possibly not!

In my post I've been a bit busy! I showed you the start of my pages in my Art-full Attaché.  I have continued to work on it and I can now reveal two thirds of the Attaché journal.

This journal is not a prerequisite of the Finding Sanctuary workshop but I know that if I just take lots of photos, bits of paper with quotes on and other stuff on the supply list with me, I will waste a considerable part of the 3 days trying to make up my mind what I am doing.  This journal will hopefully pin my ideas down a bit more.

The front page

I've added quotes since you saw this page last

I used a paper napkin on this page and the one above

More pages







On the right is a plastic pocket to put bits and pieces in.  I collected feathers from the beach so I may put those in there or the spare photos that I have.

The third signature in my Attaché journal is about the inside of my friend's house so I won't be sharing most of those photos and pages here.

I am hoping that when I am on the Finding Sanctuary course I will be able to add to this journal.  I know that Hilary will talk to us about making our own stamps and I envisage making some using the bird outlines.  I shall then stamp them on the pages of my journal.

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to my 1000th blog post


Welcome to my 1000th post.  Can you believe it?  Well done if you've been with me through the whole lot.

To celebrate I'm going to do a giveaway.  I will do one prize for UK & Europe readers and one for International readers.

The prizes will be goodies suitable for mixed media, altered books and scrapbooking.  Whilst decluttering we found some old papers mostly from the 1950s and those will be the main feature of the prizes.  There will also be some other surprise goodies.

So what do you need to do to win a prize?

Simple!

Leave a comment below and include whether you are UK/Europe or International.  Please make sure that I can contact you if you are a winner.

You have until 8pm BST (UTC) on Wednesday June 8th to leave a comment and I will announce the winners a week from today - Friday June 10th.

Thank you to everyone who follows my blog regularly - I really do appreciate the time you give to reading my ramblings - and a special thanks to those who leave comments.

As ever, thanks for stopping by.
