Technique Thursday - Watercolor Backgrounds

Good Morning!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! As we head into the New Year I'm getting my Create "Forgiveness" Journal ready to go. I was trying to decide how to do my backgrounds in my journal when I went over to my sisters and she showed me a fun technique she is using in her planner. I thought it was just too much fun not to try! So I did a short little video on it. Hope you enjoy! Happy New Year Everyone!!

Planning in my Planner!

 Good Morning! Happy Monday! Today I'm popping in with some of my planner pages I've done in the last couple weeks. I'm still finding my way since I bought my planner, trying to decide what I want to do, feel comfortable doing, and how to tie it all together. Pinterest boards are full of inspiration and honestly I am a tad overwhelmed. Slowly but surely I am figuring it all out. The three sets of pages are all done using the Planner Sticker Sets from the Shop. I feel doubly lucky..I get to design them and then I get to play with them too! Are you a planner too? Have a beautiful day everyone and if your interested in any of the sets, just click the photos! Bye for now...

Bible Journaling in Genesis

 Good Morning and a Happy Monday! If you follow my blog you will remember some previous bible pages, all done in watercolor illustrations. Those pages took hours to finish! I wanted to lighten up a little and do some "cuter" pages. I love seeing fun, happy, cute pages on Instagram and they intrigue me. I am imagining cute little paper clips, fun banners, bright colors! Wow, this is a whole new world, and it's fun. Why did I think that bible journaling had to be so serious, and pages done only on"heavy" topics. This is a way to create, go with the flow, and I am much more relaxed. I will add in that out of all the Bible that I have, this Thrive Bible with all the Devotions is by far my favourite Bible.I can't stop reading it! The stickers are from various sticker sheets in the shop, or graphics from the Praise and Pray Journals. I love that I can mix and match the stickers from the journals right into my bible.

New Releases from Lot95Designs

 Today we have a big release, 3 Planner Sets, The "12 Days of Christmas" Journal and a brand new addition to the Lot95 family.. the "Inspiration" Journal series.

Good Morning. I'm so excited to share this journal with you all! This is the first release in our Inspiration Series...the NEW Inspire Journal. All colored graphics, Inspirational quotes and words. The possibilities are endless with this journal! Just print and start to journal..easy peasy! My son Ryan came up with the idea for this journal, inspiring quotes from inspiring people. I am so in love with this journal and I share some examples of what I am going to use it for in the video below.  Now..next on our list....

 It's almost Christmas and that means it's time to start our Christmas Journals and Planners for the month of December.  I've done up a few videos that I will include below and some photos of the Planner sets. I'm so excited to begin this journey! Won't you come join me?

Three New Planner Sets because I couldn't decide on just one to make, lol.

How many planners can you have??

 The story of how it all began... lol. I'm not sure why or how, but I ended up buying a big Happy Planner. I thought it would be a great idea to expand my thoughts and reflections on the readings and questions in the Praise and Pray Journals. The planner world is a whole new art form on it's own, so much to learn. Eventually I will hopefully find my way! But in the mean time, I'm having a lot of fun. I do mine a little differently than most, as I'm using mine as a faith planner, but there are tons of ideas out there too see. So then.... I decided I needed planner stickers, so off to the design table I went and came up with what I call the "Autumn Honey" sticker sheets! These were so fun to design and I'm excited to add more collections to the shop!

 Now jump ahead a few days and Lynn finds a "regular" size planner on sale.. I decided to do my daily devotions from the Thrive Bible in this smaller planner! So guess what? Back to the design table for some "Retro Stickers". I am really loving finding new ways to worship creatively!

 This little spread was done with the "Good Day" Stickers. I really really wanted glasses and coffee cups, lol

These fun little pages used graphics from the New "Purpose" Journal. Lovin those sweet little piggies and had to use them in a spread.

I'm not sure what you call this page in the planner...title page? Note Page? I need to learn planner lingo! I changed the titles on the page to match my theme, and I was oh so happy to use polkadot washi and the typewriter again!

NEW Thrive Bible Flip Through and Review

 Good Morning Friends! Today I am so excited to share the New Thrive Bible from Tyndale House. I was so graciously gifted a copy of the bible from Tyndale, and I am so grateful to them. I've been searching for a new journaling bible, and had my eye on this one for awhile now. My current journal is getting pretty full! In the video is a little flip through and review of the bible. I hope I've answered many of the questions you all have had, and if you need any help or have a question, just leave it in the comment section of the video on Youtube, and I will be sure to answer them for you.  I will leave some photos from the video if you want to take a closer peek at them! Have a beautifully blessed day my friends.

I've caught the Planner bug!

 Good Morning! How is your week going? This weekend we are heading up to the cabin to get things ready for winter! I can't believe it's almost November. And that brings me to today's post!

Planners!! Do you have a planner? I caught the bug this week! I've always wanted to do one, but with older kids, I just didn't have a lot on the go to justify a planner. Now with doing the journals, I have decided to do a Faith Planner, full of Scripture, quotes, thoughts and prayers. I was quickly addicted! And the best part.. I can use all the stickers, word art stickers and stickers strips from the shop! I am loving these printables. No more running to the store to by extra embellishments or stickers, all I do is hit the print button. I was going to wait to start in January, but saw the planner is 18 months, so I got to work, and I got to use all the adorable fall elements for just awhile longer.
