<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5eR5ZtfhG8/XsU9ThMQPqI/AAAAAAAADwo/HcBRnCFWHHgnKk1PNYBTKvopGwdUp9AIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/troubled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="946" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5eR5ZtfhG8/XsU9ThMQPqI/AAAAAAAADwo/HcBRnCFWHHgnKk1PNYBTKvopGwdUp9AIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/troubled.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Pastor’s recent sermon (you can listen here: <a href="https://www.oursavior-lcms.org/recorded-sermons">https://www.oursavior-lcms.org/recorded-sermons</a>)
focused on John 14, particularly verse 27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be
troubled, neither let them be afraid.” The Greek verb “tarasso” is the word for
troubled here and its definition is “to cause inward commotion and distress; to
take away calmness of mind.” We all experience troubled hearts now and then, and
Jesus knows this. He himself experienced a troubled heart in the garden
(Matthew 26:37 says that Jesus was “sorrowful and troubled”) before His arrest
and ultimately His suffering and death. The verb used here is slightly
different and infers a very heavy burden of distress that Jesus was experiencing
as He began to take on the sins of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But even so, Jesus knows and can empathize with our troubled hearts.
When Jesus tells His disciples (and us) to let not your hearts be troubled (see
also John 14:1, Mark 6:50, Luke 24:38), He simply reminds us to focus on Him,
not our troubles. He reminds us that He is our peace. “Believe in God, Believe
also in Me,” He says in John 14:1. “Take heart, it is I,” He tells the
disciples in Mark 6:30. In yesterday’s sermon Pastor said, “The remedy for our
troubled hearts and anxiety is Jesus Himself.” Sometimes, the answer is simple,
but it’s not always easy to implement the cure. We need to be deliberate about
it. We need to be disciplined about it. We need to work with the Holy Spirit
and ask for the Spirit’s power to focus our eyes and our hearts on Jesus
Himself. In Him we find true peace, rest, and joy for living.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When your heart is troubled, what’s your go-to scripture or spiritual
discipline that helps re-focus you?<o:p></o:p></div>

Part of the process for me as I Bible journal is prayer. Oftentimes I have specific people in mind as I reflect on scripture and use the Word I am reflecting on as part of my prayers. That was true as I reflected on Psalm 18 and prayed for a friend who was battling cancer. After my prayer and Bible journaling time, I wanted to send a note to my friend to encourage her and let her know I was praying for her. I decided to use my Bible journaling page to create a card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my page, I used the spear-like arrow stamp on the Walk By Faith stamp set. I think it's the perfect visual for verse 39 "For you equipped me with strength for the battle." I colored in my sketch with ColorIn Watercolor Twists.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The process is very simple. I scanned my page (you could also take a photo) and imported the file into a word processing document so that I could resize it and print it on my color printer. After that, it was simply layering cardstock on top of a 5x7 card base.</div>

This was such a fun project to create! </div>
The bright colors of vinyl really make it stand out against the rustic frame.<br />
When applying vinyl to canvas, the key is to prep your canvas - either with a layer of paint or spray it with a sealer before attempting to apply your vinyl. For my project, I sprayed the canvas with a spray adhesive after removing it from the frame and before cutting my vinyl. <br />
I used my Cricut to cut the words/letters and cupcake (3 gorgeous colors of Oracal 651). Once I finished cutting and weeding, my canvas was ready. The vinyl easily adhered to the surface. I sprayed it again with the sealer and let it sit while I stained the frame. Once the frame was dried and ready, the last step was re-attaching the canvas to the back of the frame.<br />

It's so fun when I get my box of goodies from SRM Stamps. Recently, as part of the Design Team, I was sent some textile foil. I'm new to textile foil, but was excited to discover different ways to add some shimmer and shine to my projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm sharing this wood plaque project using textile foil and EasyWeed Adhesive.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how this project turned out and I learned a lot in the process. I also love that I was able to use this wood plaque that has been sitting for quite some time, just waiting for sparkly inspiration.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been having a great time discovering different ways to use the new textile foils from SRM. <br />
Today I'm sharing one of my favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppSIoc8O_co/WpgsAK-4NSI/AAAAAAAADq0/hbZYeWwGhlY9gEk20K3HIy79gWsyZqFSACLcBGAs/s1600/foil%2Bcard2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppSIoc8O_co/WpgsAK-4NSI/AAAAAAAADq0/hbZYeWwGhlY9gEk20K3HIy79gWsyZqFSACLcBGAs/s400/foil%2Bcard2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make these cards, I found free online images and resized them and made sure they would print out dark and black. I printed each image onto card stock using a laser (toner) printer. It is key that the image prints with toner ink (not an inkjet printer). I then ran my image with foil layed on type through a laminator. The heating of the laminator adhered the foil only to the printed image. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll walk you through it in this process video. But I have to warn you, you may become addicted to this easy and quick foil application technique!</div>

The new Bible Bubbles faith stamp set is so cute and perfect for faith planners, cards, quick notes, and the margins of your Bible. After putting down a thin layer of acrylic paint for some background color, I used several of the stamps on this page in the book of Joel. Mirroring the stamps, I then drew a larger bubble for my journaling.</div>

Once again I am committing my mornings to the spiritual discipline of journaling the Word. I'll be following the daily devotional, "Silent Witness" offered by <a href="https://www.lhm.org/lent/">Lutheran Hour Ministries.</a> I've created a set of travelers notebooks to contain my journaling.<br />
Here's a bit more...<br />

SRM's new Bible Margin stamps aren't just for Bible journaling. I used a couple of margin stamps as part of a gift bag decoration - and they double as bookmarks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-JYpLGxO0U/WlBCd-oNeCI/AAAAAAAADos/MIqrXcKT3uEi71qrAStTca7vc7y8PC1HgCLcBGAs/s1600/giftbag%2Bbible%2Bmargin_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-JYpLGxO0U/WlBCd-oNeCI/AAAAAAAADos/MIqrXcKT3uEi71qrAStTca7vc7y8PC1HgCLcBGAs/s400/giftbag%2Bbible%2Bmargin_edited-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the margins on white cardstock, which I then watercolored a pretty background. I used watercolor pencils to add more detail to the images. Mounting it onto a piece of colored cardstock helps it stand out agains the fun patterned paper bags, doily, and sticker stitches and sentiments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By using a decorate clip to attach it to the bag, it allows the recipient to use the margin as a bookmark, too</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love to preserve our Christmas memories in our scrapbooks. This layout came together so quickly, which is a must in this busy season. </div>

Two patterned bags provide not just a fun background, but a convenient spot to slip in extra photos and my daughter's letter to Santa. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the main reason I Bible journal is because it gives me the time to meditate on specific words of scripture. While I am coloring or painting or stamping, I am repeating scripture in my mind and contemplating the meaning of these precious words. The creative process draws me in and allows me to linger longer in the Word. My page today gave me the chance to target specific words and think about the many reasons to worship and praise our amazing God.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Psalm 29 is a psalm of worship and praise. It wasn't difficult to find many of the words used in this psalm in stamp form on SRM's two "wordfetti-style" faith stamp sets - Daily Devotion and Scripture Notes. These two sets contain multiple words that can be used in a variety of ways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After lettering "worship" and coloring it in with marker and watercolor twists, I added several word stamps to emphasize some of the words in the Psalm. I also added a star stamp from another set, Child of God. I created the background using the watercolor twists and a water brush. Then, I added a few highlights with my white pen. I really like how this page turned out and am grateful for the time to worship and praise God through Bible journaling. Be blessed!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A set of cute thank you notes is a great gift for teachers or friends. I'm still a believer in sending personalized thank you notes and I know there are others out there who appreciate those handwritten notes, too. Using SRM's stickers makes producing several sets really easy. My cards have a cute Christmas theme and will be given to my daughter's teachers. I think they will appreciate them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wFVRyB6dzKc/WhBj7WjdWmI/AAAAAAAADnk/yDlZSTIxv_cgBVL3UxQY0a3mGfm3TAzXACLcBGAs/s1600/tycards_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="1600" height="281" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wFVRyB6dzKc/WhBj7WjdWmI/AAAAAAAADnk/yDlZSTIxv_cgBVL3UxQY0a3mGfm3TAzXACLcBGAs/s400/tycards_edited-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a bright striped paper in my holiday stash and used it as the main background for this cards set. I think layers add so much to cards, especially when you want to keep it simple like these. I incorporated a cute star / list stamp from the School Days Planner set and added the traditional Christmas colors to match the theme. The Thank You sentiment is from a non-holiday Stickers By the Dozen set and the cute gingerbread man is from the Stickers By the Dozen Gingerbread Man set. I also grabbed my pre-cut scalloped circle shapes from my stash. You could use a punch or a die cut to make these quickly, too. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A set of 7-10 cards plus envelopes fit nicely in an A7 size clear box. I added red and silver crinkly paper to my box, too, which really makes it look festive. Nothing more is needed but a bit of twine to tie it all together.</div>

Thanksgiving is such a special time to spend with friends and family. It's fun to make the decor and table settings special. Here's a quick and easy idea for you to try. Tuck your fancy silverware in a small dotted pouch marked with the initial of each guest in vinyl. Don't forget to add a small piece card at each place setting for guests to record what they are most thankful for. These cards make great additions in a planner or scrapbook with photos of the day's festivities.</div>

Today I'm sharing several ways I utilized SRM's Bible Background stamp set this week. My favorite technique is using the "amen" Bible background to dress up plain white letters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After cutting the letters in my die cut machine (or use stickers), I randomly stamped on top of them before removing them from the cutting mat. I also added a bit of marker wash to give them colors that coordinated with my faith planner layout for the week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the Book of Exodus, God tells Moses, </div>
"Say this to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you'" (3:14).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God, I AM, is past, present, and future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is, as the verb indicates, the essence of all being. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this page, I began by stamping Father, Son, & Holy Spirit in yellow. I felt it was a little too light, so I added darker yellow/gold layers with my ColorIn Watercolor Twists and waterbrush. I repeatedly stamped "I am" over the yellow and added the "amen" block stamp throughout the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I repeated the element of 3 with three mixed media leaves.</div>

I love the increasing crispness to the mornings, lately. Fall is in the air. This cute coffee card is just the thing to brighten a friend's day. I used my Cricut to cut the coffee cup, a bit of fall washi to decorate the lid, and <a href="http://www.srmstore.com/Clear-Planner-Stamp-Coffee-Plans_p_4375.html" target="_blank">SRM's "Coffee Plans" stamps</a> for the sentiments and beans. Enjoy!</div>

I'm not always perfect at it, but I do enjoy sending out handmade birthday greetings. Last week I dug into my stash to look for a birthday card and discovered I was out (sorry to all those early August b-days).<br />
<br />
When I need to make a lot of cards, I settle on one design that I can duplicate easily. For this set of birthday cards, I used my die-cut machine to cut and assemble several cupcakes. I find it easier to do several images at the same time and make a sort of assembly line process. To fancy up these cupcakes, I even added some glitter at their final stage.<br />
<br />
Once all the cupcakes were assembled and dry, the cards were super easy and quick to put together. I used plain white cardstock for the base and two layers of patterned cardstock on the front. Then I added one or more cupcakes and a clear sentiment sticker or two. There are so many to choose from in SRM's collections.<br />

As seen in the first photo, I packaged up a few to share. Five cards plus envelopes easily fit into a flat glassine bag touched simply with a ribbon, "just for you" sentiment, and a green stripe at the bottom.</div>

My daughter needed a pencil case for school, so we found this one in her favorite color with the added bonus of it being shimmery and came with a fun tassle. But, the top was a little plain - or perhaps, as we decided, it was the perfect canvas for a bit of personalization.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ImblTtuQNpQ/WYpTrD_94YI/AAAAAAAADjU/_-7vb_z3PHcoxtMgsJN0lAugFJ-d-0ruACLcBGAs/s1600/vinyl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1403" data-original-width="1600" height="350" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ImblTtuQNpQ/WYpTrD_94YI/AAAAAAAADjU/_-7vb_z3PHcoxtMgsJN0lAugFJ-d-0ruACLcBGAs/s400/vinyl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I applied the vinyl, we decided to add a bit more color. It was a fun and easy activity to do together as we used the eraser side of a pencil to add dots of greens and blues for the perfect backdrop to the gold vinyl initials.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's almost time! The summer is winding down and school supplies are stacking up. Today, I'm sharing a cute back to school calendar project for your favorite teachers. I started with a mini clipboard that I covered with school themed washi tape.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TivLA9k1yZ0/WYpGK5uSIWI/AAAAAAAADi0/M2uCXL0FMaUenPj3iJYqdK7rr_pbG_WbACLcBGAs/s1600/teachcalendar2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TivLA9k1yZ0/WYpGK5uSIWI/AAAAAAAADi0/M2uCXL0FMaUenPj3iJYqdK7rr_pbG_WbACLcBGAs/s400/teachcalendar2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Then I grabbed all my school themed SRM stickers and the 2017 and 2018 calendar stickers. Using precut 3x4 journaling cards, I used the calendar stickers and lots of SRM stickers to create a fun card for each month. Each card is fun and unique.<br />

We attended our church's Vacation Bible School recently and this story in Joshua was the focus for one of the day's activities. Through the power and might of God alone, Joshua and the Israelites took the city of Jericho. God showed his mighy power as He caused the walls of the city to fall flat. "Shout, for the Lord has given you the city." -Joshua 6:16. </div>

I am trying to exercise more and I thought if I made a notebook to track my progress I would be more motivated. With the help of some SRM stamps, I'd like to introduce my simple fitness tracker traveler's sized notebook.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cute, hey? I used some scrapbook paper and cards from the stash and embellished them with stamps. The new mini alpha, found on the "Pray Journal Repeat" set helped me label my notebook "health and fitness." To remind me to "just do it" I randomly stamped {DO IT} from the "Notes to Self" Planner stamp set on the cover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the inside front cover I couldn't help but use the "You can do it" ~coffee stamp found on the new "Coffee Plans" stamp and helped it stand out on the page with a green stamped circle from the "Pray Journal Repeat" set.</div>

I've kept the inside pretty simple (because I need to make time for exercise, right?). I stamped the doodle square (from "Pray Journal Repeat")7 times on each page and also labeled the squares with the days of the week (from Planner Notes to Self).</div>

Each day I exercise I can stamp a thumbs up (yay me!) from the Everyday Plans set and write in my exercise for the day. I may add a page for my eating habits later, but for now it's one thing at a time!</div>

Memorizing scripture is important in our home. To keep track of the verses we've memorized this summer, I created a magnetic holder using a small clear box from SRM. It's a perfect size for holding 3x4 cards. It was super easy to create with some scrap paper and SRM's faith stamps and stickers.</div>
