Illustrated Advent Round UP & free Cut File

Hi there!!!! For those of you that are journaling your way through advent how are you enjoying it? I have to say it is just my favorite EVER!!!! I love going through a devotional each day that is just so relatable and inspiring and then entering just a simple entry into my bible that reminds me exactly where I am, what I am learning and what I hope to do this season in my life.

I have been sharing my entries daily on my instagram account and have been using the hashtag #illustratedadvent to tag those posts, if you follow that tag you will see many others following along with this process as well and I wanted to shine the light on some amazing journaling I have been seeing!

Truth Scrap 2015

Hiya friends! I am SO OVER THE MOON excited to have you here with me today and let me tell you why.. TRUTH SCRAP is coming! Since I started scrapbooking in 2011 I always remember hearing about TRUE scrap an online event hosted my Lain Ehmann! So when she approached my about doing a similar even but centered on our faith I could not have been MORE excited. Or so I thought! Once I saw the other teachers I felt honored to be a part of the group as well EXCITED for exactly what this group will be!

Here is a word from Lain:

"Truth Scrap is the galaxy’s ONLY online, live virtual art and crafting event focused on celebrating the intersection of faith and art. With inspiration brought right to your desktop, there’s no need to change out of your PJs because you’re logging on, right from home!If you want to learn more about the HOW and WHY of infusing your creativity with your faith, Truth Scrap is the event for you. Learn new skills while getting a new take on old favorites! And with seven energizing, talented instructors, you’re sure to be inspired. Can’t wait for you to join us!"

I am teaching one of the SEVEN classes offered at this online event (I know, right?!) I wanted to share the class description with you:

"For years, Shanna Noel struggled to read her Bible in a meaningful way. “I always wished I was more like that, that I LOVED to read my bible, that I even wanted to, but the truth is often times I felt like it was more of a chore than anything else,” she says. One day, though, she saw an image of a Bible all marked up, highlighted and underlined, and something about that struck a chord in her. She went online and ordered yet another new Bible – but this time it was a journaling Bible. “When I started to use the journaling Bible, a light bulb went off!” she explains. “I needed to have a place in my Bible for reflection, creativity, and journaling, and that is exactly what this new format provided.” Now, Shanna has taken her discoveries and is presenting them in a cohesive manner. You can join her as she shares how she uses her journaling Bible in a colorful and creative way that allows for personal growth, reflection and illustration."

So if you are new to your journaling bible or just want to gather with a group of like minded women and create, learn and grow together THIS event is for you!! P.S. I think this would make an EPIC Christmas present for those you love (or send the link to Santa (coughHUSBANDcough). 

Lain is running a great sale to start us off! The class is normally $149 but for a limited time snag it for $79!!! Plus I have a $20 coupon for you that is good through CHRISTMAS EVE. Just use code ADVENT when checking out! 

With this class you will not only receive the 7 classes but we will be having a PJ party the night before, I don't know about you but the 12 year old in me just got SUPER excited! PJ parties are the best!!!!

So what do you say, will you be joining us for TRUTH SCRAP 2015? I sure hope to see you there!

go.be.inspired.
