Light of the World by Christine

The new Bible Margins Stamps are so beautiful and just perfect for diving into your Bible Journaling!  Christine joining you today to show how I combined the Bible Margins stamps with a few more stamps in our line to create some colorful Bible Journaling!

I used Distress Oxides to create my background.  I like the milky look that they produce!  I just dabbed a sponge into the oxides and then spread them on my margin.  I dried between each layer so that they would maintain their own identity.  I then added my stamping - beginning with the Bible Margins - Light Set.

I used the cross from the Pray, Journal, Repeat Stamp Set as an accent around my Bible Verse.  I also drew a flourish to connect the top all the way to the bottom.  One of the things I enjoy most about this process is the freedom to experiment. 

I had not previously used my white gel pen to highlight around black drawing or journaling but this was a good time to try it out.  It changes the look a lot and was a nice way to soften everything up a bit!

Run on over to the SRM Store and grab these new stamps - they will be a great addition to your Bible Journaling Collection!

Journal Set by Tangii

Hey yall!  Tangii here with my very first DT post.  To be honest, I made this for me, yes for me!  Lol, I really want to start Journaling for a few reasons and if I have this pretty display sitting on my night table, I'm much more likely to grab it!  And just to show that I'm not a total "Greedy Gertie", I also made a gift set.  Here's mine…

I bought this pretty little journal at Target.  SRM carries these Le Pen fine point pens in 4 pretty sets, this is the Neon set.  The cute little bag is perfect for keeping my journaling goodies together, and by just attaching the tag with a dab of glue to the bag, I can tighten or loosen the drawstrings without disturbing my tag.

This is the set for a giftie, everything is the same just a bigger tag.

For the gift tag, I used the "hi" stamp from Big Hello stamp set, I love the chunky look!  The flowers are from Just Believe, and while I LOVE this set, the individual stamps are so great to mix up with other sets! I stamped them, colored with markers then cut them out and attached them with Foam Dots.  I also added a flower to the bag, just to tie it all together. I used some Jute Twine for the bow at the top... love this chunky texture!!

This is my tag, the "Be Happy" are from the Everyday Plans set... this set gets A LOT of use, lol!  I also added another flower from Just Believe and a woodchip heart (colored with a marker) and another Jute bow.

For these projects I used Everyday Plans, Big Hello & Just Believe stamp sets, Le Pen 4 Piece Fine Point pen set in Neon, Cotton Bag with silver dots and Olive Jute.

Happy Journaling!

Traveler's Journal by Tobi

Hi there, it's Tobi here with a DIY planner using a traveller's journal and of course, SRM stamps. 

Here are some things that have added up to my current planner situation:

~ I've tried the planner thing... I don't get it, OR I'm not good at it. 

~ I've recently gotten into hand lettering and have started to collect journals to practice in. 

~ I had a very stressful month and kept a notebook of everything i had to remember and keep track of and it really worked for me. 

So, because of these factors, I thought i would continue with the notebook/hand-lettering/journal format, but organize it a little better using various stamps and supplies. 

So I've got my day divided into three zones: 

1) School (I'm a teacher)

2) After school - which includes clubs and rehearsals/performances

3) dinner (we have meal-plans)

As much as I can, I try to fill in the spots using bounce lettering (the style of calligraphy I am working on) so I can practice as many letter combos as possible. 

Here's a mostly blank page so you can see how it looks before I fill it out:

Thanks for stopping by, I hope this was inspiring! 

Supplies: 

Clear Planner Stamps/School Plans

Clear Planner Stamps/Planner Notes To Self

Brush Markers - Marvy

I love this next stamp called "Sermon Notes" perfect for so many different uses.  Lots of wonderful words and images and a square, talk bubble and circle to highlight just the right word or image.  

And last but not least is our new "Scripture Notes" stamp with lots of small words that are perfect for Bible Journaling.  And if you take a close look you will see that the words rhyme making them almost like a meditation.  And check out the border at the bottom.  Turn it sideways and it's a perfect way to make bullet points in your Bible or Faith Planner.

Advent Journal Cover by Karen

Hello!  Karen with you today.  I'm a big fan of upcycling or trying to use what I have before buying new. Such was the case with my Advent journal for this year. I had a little used journal, so I removed the used pages and freshened up the cover to create this notebook to record my daily devotions for December.

The cover was in pretty good shape, but after removing a couple of stickers, was in need of a refresh. I simply brushed on acrylic paint in a similar color to the original and it looks great. For the title, I grabbed some awesome and shiny SRM vinyl that I've been wanting to use. It cut beautifully in my die cut machine and adhered really well to my cover.

To finish it off, I added some great stickers from my Christmas stash. Now my journal is ready for the season!

For this project I used the following supplies:

Vinyl from SRM |  We've Got Your Sticker "Merry" | We've Got Your Border "Christmas"

Planner Pages with Gratitude Journal by Christine

SRM Stickers are so fun to use in planner pages and today I am going to show you how I used them in a planner spread and made part of it work for a gratitude journal too! Christine joining you today with my very simple planner that I printed off here!

Here's the first side of my spread:

I don't like all the hours being printed out for me because that is just more detail than what I need - so I used some heart border pieces from Take2 Stickers by the Dozen: Baby to cover those up. I then added in my commitments.  Black writing for schedule commitments, Blue writing for meal planning, and Pink writing for Blog/Design Team Commitments.  Some of the other sticker sets I used on this page are:

Stickers by the Dozen: Thank You (flower)

Sentiments/Shine Your Light

We've Got Your Border: Thank You

We've Got Your Sticker: Princess (hearts)

Express Yourself: Everyday Girl (shine)

On the right hand side I used the "Take Notes" area to make a Gratitude Journal type area.  We can all use the time to be thankful for the big and little things and I thought this was the perfect spot to do that.  SRM has tons of stickers that would work for this but mine came from the Sentiments/Shine Your Light set again.

What unique touches do you add to your planner to make it work for you?  SRM has some great stickers to help you get started in personalizing!
