Correction on my comment: I mean I love THIS blog entry.

I’m new to bible journaling and after watching videos, have started journaling in the Grace and Gratitude book, which I love. Also am planning to journal in a TN insert for Advent. I love both the Grace/Gratitude and Advent kits I got from Amazon UK. I am a Californian living in Scotland, so I’m grateful you have printables!! I like stickers because They make it easier to focus on scripture and not the art. Maybe I’m just chicken about the art:) I love his blog entry:)

Love this article! My daughter just asked me yesterday if she could get her own journaling Bible! Up until this point, she’d been using some small freebies they handed out at a local Christian book store near the Bible journaling supplies. Any suggestions on a good journaling Bible for kids, or do you use the same type you would use for yourself?!

I really love all the creative journaling in Illustrated Faith. I have tons of downloads yet to be downloaded after my purchases. But I was wondering two things:
1- How do I create my own see-through stickers?
2- How can I, too, be as ‘crafty’ WITHOUT covering up ANY of God’s Word? Do you use a separate Bible when you have to go back to any ‘journaled’ page for another reading?
I am a chronic note-taker in my Bible, but very right brain, as well. I would love to use my talents, such as they are, in adding some crafty ways to remember a moment or a verse/reading that really touched me. Your help would be a great blessing.
Belated Merry Christmas and I hope for you all is a blessed New Year.

1) for the transparent stickers, we print them on clear sticker paper… many use Avery Full Page Clear Label Paper
2) My journaling Bibles are only used for art worship and not used as a study Bible… many of us use a separate Bible for study and reading.
for note-taking, I use a separate journal… so on Sundays I’ll take notes in my journal and then come home to creatively journal and worship in my journaling Bible. I also find that reviewing my notes in that way really helps it to sink in more.
