Hello friends!
We have an exciting new release coming NEXT WEEK at Inspired Stamps!! There will be more Scripture Stamps and NEW HYMN line stamps!! We cannot wait to share with you! Also, beginning the last week of May and going all through June, we will be having daily posts on MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE: GENESIS CHAPTER 1! If you've ever wanted to memorize a chapter in the Bible, this is a PERFECT chapter to memorize! More on that later...
Today we have INSPIRED STAMPS ALPHABETS showcased for your, starting with Kary who used HYMN GIRLS: JANUARY along with our SKETCHY ALPHABET LOWERCASE (uppercase will be back in the online store next week!!) along with a sentiment 'birthday' from our Perfect Sentiments set
Kary:
Belinda made this ADORABLE scrapbook page using BACKGROUND STAMPS for the dotted background (love this!) and our COLORABLE UPPERCASE ALPHABET for the words she cut out:
Shanta used a gorgeous palette of colors on her card with Inspired Stamps making her background with a stamp from INSPIRED SHAPES and then also used the COLORABLE ALPHABET set (love the differences shown in ways to use this set in Belinda's page and this card!)
Chere made this lovely card using TYPEWRITER TEXT LOWERCASE and PERFECT SENTIMENTS :

Hello friends and welcome to week #2 of our 3 Weeks of Fridays devoted to How to Memorize Scripture! If you missed last week's post, you will DEFINITELY want to head over there first. Click HERE to see Post#1
As I said last week, the key is thinking on (or meditating) on God's Words throughout the day, using your 3x5 cards.
This week's tip is sticky notes. You want the Scripture where you can see it and be reminded of it. The best place is your bathroom mirror. Why? Because you are supposed to brush your teeth 2 times a day, plus you wash your hands way more than that (especially if you are doing the Scripture Art Journaling I'll share more on in a few minutes!!). That way you will see it, read it, close your eyes, speak it, then read it again to check it. I also put sticky notes on my fridge, front door, computer screen side, and studio desk. Mix up the colors each day if you can, so they stick out to you...otherwise you will learn to ignore them when you are busy (been there, done that, got the tshirt lol)!
I really have found the Scripture Art Journaling of Ephesians SOOOOO helpful this week! Again, last week I showed you an easy way to get the Scripture for the book of Jude into an Art Journal just using watercolor backgorunds and some stamps, with markers. This week, as I begin my Ephesians' Art journal in my brand new Dylusions journal (see last week's post for details), I used some spray inks, but mostly Pan pastels and acrylic paints along with some collage to make my journal pages. I am LOVING the way these are coming out and the vibrancy of the pages, so I will continue my Ephesians Art Journal with this method! Here are the pages I made, along with some explanations/tips:
Ok, first of all you may notice I don't have verse numbers AND that more than one verse is on the page. This is because my goal of memorizing is about the words in each chapter AND because the Dylusions' journal has total pages that will require me to get 2-3 verses on a page or I'll run out of paper before I'm finished with the book! I wrote out most of the Scripture by hand and used the following Inspired Stamps to add emphasis to some of the words: Colorable Uppercase Alphabet and Solid Alphabet Lovercase. I love all of the Inspired Stamps alphabets and Art Journaling stamps, so they will be included in most of the pages I make :o)
I used the same markers for my lettering, so be sure to check back to part 1 about that if you have questions. I made another page (the first photo at the top of this post with HIS LITTLE ONES: JOURNAL GIRL and GUARD YOUR HEART stamps) that I will share another day! Loving making the houses so you'll probably see more of those!
LEAVE me a comment and let me know what you think!! I loved hearing from so many of you via email and comments! I'm so blessed by this process!

Here are the Sunday Scripture Design Team artwork:
Belinda's card:
Anita's ATC:
DeNetra's Mixed Media:
Here is my completed Word Art Scrapbook pages from last week:
I really enjoyed just putting ONE or TWO words as the journaling! I captured all I was grateful for this week in a very short and concise way! Fun, too! I used Inspired Stamps ELEGANT DOTTY ALPHABET, COLORABLE UPPERCASE ALPHABET , ART JOURNAL WORDS AND FACES, AND BIRTHDAYS FOR THIS PAGE along with gel pens!
This week (Valentine's Week) I am going to focus on being grateful for LOVE...all kinds of love; foods I love or something I love or a way that God shows His love for me...we'll see how the week goes, but that's what I'm thinking now. Do we even begin to fathom all the ways He loves us and cares for us in a single day? I know we don't! It'll be fun searching for these things this week!
Here are my pages. I wanted to show you how to make the background paper just with this stamp! I was inspired by Gaby's cards here:
Here is what I did:
I stamped and cut out the paper and put it my 6x8 black background page. Then I took a white piece of paper and stamped the verse again(see below) before using the heart from GUARD YOUR HEART set to stamp over it:
I cut out the stamped heart over the verse and put glitter tape and a few jewels on the page:
And created these 2 pages to work with this week:
Here they are side by side:
So how are YOU doing making your Gratitude Artwork? We really love seeing your art so be sure to link it to us below in our Mister Linky link or take a photo and share on our Facebook page! Remember, it's never too late to join us!! We will be choosing winners at the end of the month!!
Until next time,
Blessings,
Antoinette and the Sunday Scripture DT
Hello friends!
Today I wanted to share with you an idea I found that I tweaked a little. The original idea I saw is to take old frames and have photos hanging from them, but I saw that and thought, "What a GREAT way to display cards and other artwork!".
I took a couple of frames I got for a few dollars on sale that came without glass (I had no clue what I would use them for, but I knew I'd find something! LOL). I tied some black twine to the sides above the metal pieces one would use to close the backing of a photo frame in (this keeps the twine from sliding down the frame). Here's another frame I have and part of this wall I have in my studio for displaying Inspired Stamps artwork:
I need to tighten the lower one, but you can see that even a 'heavy' panel, like the 5x7 canvas art I put on the top can be held by the clothes pin (black) without any effort! Here's that panel:
