I may have mentioned

that I committed to completing each and every one of the

Journal 52 prompts 

in my interleaved Bible last year - 

and ---

I DID IT!

I'm loving the 52 tabs across the top of my Bible for each word.

This is a fun art journal group that Effy Wild pulls together each year, and while the group is not really faith based, there are more than a few in there that put a faith spin on their art...

The interleaved Bible has a 2-sided blank page on every other page, 

so there's plenty of journaling space.

[inspired by google images - I tried to search the original artist on this 

and just couldn't find it...

Let me know if you know! ]

This was a fun year-long project that kept me on my toes

and searching scripture for just the right verses to use - 

I'll admit that I didn't always have time to work on the prompt 

during the week it was given, But! I did get them all done. 

And like with all of my art journal art, 

you can see that I'm all over the place with what I create...

 I did especially enjoy this one, because, let's admit...

how many times have we skipped over that first chapter in Matthew ?

Is it only me?

This little project helped some of those names come alive for me

- if that makes any sense at all... 

 And I know I've shared this one before - because

I LOVE IT. 

But I don't love all of them...

Still, I let them be, because it's where I was at the time

[if that makes any sense]

And I know everyone creates things they love more than other things... 

 Some ideas came straight out of this crazy head of mine 

 

And others were inspired by google images - 

[I search the verse {or word} + Bible Journaling an click on images] 

 

And I'm not ashamed to admit that I may have traced a time or two...

or three... or ...

I loved this clip art image and, try as I might, I just

could - not- draw - it... 

All in all, though, it was fun to get into the scriptures in

 a new and different way -

And it was fun to do some true art journal-y kinds of things in this Bible.

I know I'll continue working in it as the days go by.

What kinds of art projects did you complete last year?

What's in store for you this year?

I've got a few things I'm looking forward to sharing with you - 

Stay tuned!
