Piles of Prayers



 

Piles of Prayer Journals that is!  I have completed the gifts for the confirmation class at my church (and even a few weeks early!!).  Each one started out as a Retro Fresh or Epic Day This and That Journal and I have added stamped images, prayers and words of encouragement to lots of the pages while others are left blank for their own prayers and thoughts.  

 

 

On the cover, I chose to add the chorus to one of my favorite songs by Steven Curtis Chapman called Still Listening.

 

Some of the items I put on the inside come from things I have found on Pinterest and have pinned to my Prayer Journal board. 

 

This year there are 12 which is the most by at least double of what I have made in past years.  I hope they find them useful and encouraging.

 

Supplies:

This and That and Retro Fresh Journals

Silver and Very Vintage Buttons

Epic Day This and That and Retro Fresh washi tape

Trust God, Crosses of Hope and Blessings from Heaven stamp sets

Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla and Daffodil Delight card stock

Prayer Journal

Lately, I have been working on some prayer journals that will be going to confirmation students at my church later this year.  They start out as a plain Epic Day This and That Journal and when they are complete, have lots of prayers, verses and sayings in them to get someone started with prayer.  There is of course, lots of room for them to add their own thoughts and ideas.

 

 

On the cover, I used some Epic Day This and That designer series paper and washi tape along with the Hexagon Hive thinlits die and some silver basic buttons.

 

The verses, prayers, etc. that I have compiled to put into the journals are printed using My Digital Studio and when they are on the page look something like this...

 

I add stamped images and sentiments throughout the journals as well...

 

Hopefully they will find the gift useful and even enjoy the variety of colors and patterns throughout the book.

 

 

I could Rule the World!

Well, probably not, but the saying in the Perfect Blend set is fun anyway!  I used a mix of products on this card adding some Epic Day this and that washi tape and a circle punched from the Tag a Bag gift bags.

This and That Gift

This is part of a birthday present that I gave one of my nieces, who just turned 11.  I thought it would be a fun journal for whatever she wants to put into it.

 



 

There is a little bit of My Digital Studio, Epic Day This and That designer series paper and Washi tape, hexagon punches and a sentiment from Yippee Skippee. 

 

Hope she enjoys using it!

 

 

Bombs Away Birthday

I wanted to make some fun cards using the Bombs Away Birthday photopolymer stamp set and this is what I came up with...

 



 

I took some tags made from the Two Tags Die (retired) and used them a my focus.  The circles are 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" punched circles that have been embossed with the Honeycomb folder.

 

My background on the top ones is stamped with the Mosaic Madness stamp set, Smoky Slate ink on the same color card stock.

 

The background on this one is the bomb stamp, Bravo Burgundy ink on the same color card stock.

For You

 

This card uses a combination of Epic Day this and That products paired with the Chalk Talk stamp set.

 



 

I didn't use the Chalk Talk framelits for the stamped images, I just cut them out instead and then added some washi tape behind it.

Chalk Talk

Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla crd stock

Pool Party and Gumball Green ink

1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches

Happy Big Day!

 

Today's card was put together more quickly than it might look because I used some of the Epic Day This and That Stickers for the banner and for the piece behind the sentiment.

 

 

A few strips of Epic Day This and That washi tape, a button and my sentiment and that is it!

Chalk Talk

Bring on the Cake

 

I was playing with some shapes and textures on this birthday card using the Bring on the Cake stamp set. 

 

 

There is some Epic Day This and That designer series paper and Washi tape along with some Labels collection framelits and the Honeycomb folder. 

 

Colors:

Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray,  and Whisper White

Epic Direction

 

Well, here is that same sentiment again - I like it for graduation cards as well as other things.  This time I paired it with the Clockworks stamp set and the Epic Day This and That products.

 

 

I used Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla and Island Indigo (boy am I glad that color is staying around!) and added Pool Party and Crumb Cake to the colors when I did my stamping.

 

A little bit of Epic Day This and That washi tape, a brad and that is it!
