Girl, EVERY TIME I go to a craft store, I think of you. I always am on the hunt for more Bible journaling supplies!

[@secretgardenbudgets]

Hi Faith! Tip from a Hobby Lobby employee: Happy Planner, Agenda 52 and The Paper Studio go on sale every other week! 40% off the marked price. Also the glue runners you like are refillable! Hobby Lobby sales the refills for about 2.50 I believe. Great video! I just looked at that boy paper pad last night for my OCC boxes!

[@Erica_GospelWarrior]

Thanks for a new crafty video! Sometimes I will mention Bible Journaling when I'm talking to my Dad. The other day, he was saying how he's always running out of space for notes in his Bible. He's coming over tomorrow so I can add a few blank pages in his Bible. hee hee!😊 Not only have I got my nieces and nephew into Bible journaling, but now even my Dad is starting to like it! Also, my husband likes to help me pick out washi tape for my Bible notes! He's so sweet! 🥰

[@havenkohner]

That's so sweet!

[@dablackkitten302]

Dollar tree is another great place for inspiration. Something as simple as sparkly pens can be all you need to get excited

[@user-cf7nm2kf4p]

Hey Faith! I love you and your beautiful spirit! Just wanted to share something with you, I got a long sleeve "Bible Nerd" shirt and I just LOOOOOOVE it! But the greatest thing is I was at Hobby Lobby this past weekend and a man stopped me who saw my shirt and loved it and we just started a conversation about the bible and the goodness of God! I know that would probably never happened in just a regular tshirt! So now I want them ALL!!!! So,to my Bible Nerd guru keep it coming sister you are awesome and in this day and time we need more Jesus Nerds!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LeeanneZ]

Wow! This was like drinking from a fire hydrant .... in a GOOD way!! 😃 We do not have a Journaling Budget, so it is a huge help to see you go through the stores and explain the how, what, and why of the items you purchase. I then keep that in mind for the next time I am at a Michaels or Hobby Lobby, especially if you've found some treasures in the sale sections! Happy Friday! ✝💜

[@BarbaraPruitt-hh2hl]

Don't forget the thrift stores I was at one the other day and I saw something in the trash it was on top and she gave it to me and the post office trash the label treasures are everywhere woohoo

[@sarahcaravella2879]

YESSSS!! Lazarus I relate with. The part I have really connected with in that story is in verse 41 Jesus was already deeply moved by the loss and looks up and says "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me..." That was an aha for me going through my hurts and loss because God my Father always hears me❤

[@missypin7520]

People who follow you know you’re not consumeristic. Keep the Faith! ❤

[@jesuschristbiblebiblestudy]

There are many ways Bible journaling can be done WITHOUT having to shop. Examples: Card memorization, Bible notes, calendar journaling, etc. Just some food for thought....and not to put a hole into your purse. Much appreciated the previous video, with 'free' tips. Yours in Christ, Pastor John

[@brookek.4510]

Yes!She did a video last week on free stuff :)

[@angelaarmstrong6405]

But it’s fun! And we can!😂❤️📖✝️

[@Lacroix999]

I know you’re not all about the consumerism stuff, but I honestly think that you’d benefit greatly from a Cricut machine! You can pretty much make nearly all the stuff you saw in the store yourself and then some! Stickers, stencils, stamps, tags, tabs, embellishments, plus the Maker will cut fabric for quilting…. The possibilities are endless! I just used mine to make bookmarks and dividers for my Bible inserts and plan on cutting out tabs for them when I’m done! I’ve also used my machine for other non Bible things, like tshirts, stencils, drawing out my art canvases, making signs, Easter and fall decorations, 3D paper crafts like animals and flowers, decals and labels. My mom uses hers to make tumbler cups! It costs a bit to get started with papers, tools and materials and there is a learning curve to it all, but the amount of things you can make are worth it all if you’re a crafter or do things like this on the regular basis!

[@lindaharrison3240]

Hey, when I need to recenter or whatever you call it, I go to the bookstore. Before I walk in there, I tell myself "You don't have to buy anything. You're just here to regroup, not to spend money." And that works! Sometimes 😋

[@HowtoFaithALife]

... sometimes! LOL! :)

[@nuvoclassic]

I go to a local Llibrary - even better!

[@liamae4992]

[@nuvoclassic]

When I need craft/art supplies, I send my hubby to Michaels - so I won't be tempted to spend a zillion bucks. Best part is, he usually surprises me with new washi tape! [He's an artist too!]

[@kaywells3229]

For Washi that’s not sticky, run it across the top of a glue stick before applying the tape to paper 🥰

[@user-ot6cy4bv4d]

Just yesterday I was looking at the stamps thinking I could write notes inside them!!! There was a mason jar one and remembered the verse in psalms? About our tears being collected in a bottle

😅😅😅Love Girl Math!!! And I'm not just saying this to condone my own craft and scrapbook stuff and ideas

[@DottyGale8]

My very favorite supply is clear (no print) vellum. I can print notes on it and fit it into my Bible with absolutely no bulk added to the Bible, no covering up the actual Bible text and lots of room for notes. Highly recommend!

[@HowtoFaithALife]

Wait- print like with the printer?!

[@DottyGale8]

@@HowtoFaithALife Yes! I read my Bible at my desk, and my computer is there. I type up my notes and print them. I get A LOT more notes in that way, it’s neater than writing them, and I can proofread them. Then I glue the pieces into the Bible like additional pages. I’m getting a TON of notes into my Bible without creating bulk. So I feel freer to take as many notes as I can, because there’s room. I also don’t like covering up the actual text of my Bible. That’s sacred to me, but adding these slips of vellum in allows me to explain what I’m seeing on that page.

[@lizsim]

Let’s just say it’s a good thing Hobby Lobby and Michael’s is within a mile from my home. I feel ya…

[@debbiebalnaves4842]

Unless the craft stores in my area changed , they haven't sold Bible craft supplies in 3 years Washi tape in craft stores has also been hard to find. I live in a big city, in Ohio, they seem to have an alergery to christian related items in their store's for Bible study/journals I've been ordering most of my stuff on line.

[@marmeemarch7080]

Even the Hobby Lobby?

[@TheCrafteaCottage]

Hi Faith! I went back and forth with commenting because I’m typically just a lurker! I used to work at Hobby Lobby. I wanted to let you know that if you see lots of those orange stickers in an area it means they are being “deleted” or they won’t sell them anymore and they are being clearanced out. So if you like a product that was deleted, get as many as you can! They do this in order to make room for new merchandise! Shortly after they do “deletes” they will redo the section with the new stuff! Hope this is helpful in the future!!

[@WolfWriterL.P]

That black gingham one was cute. I finally have a craft budget so I don't feel guilty buying things. Thanks for sharing.

[@beth_spooky_mom]

I use vellum in my Bible! I use it just to decorate the first page of the book. I like it because I can print out fancy fonts on cheap printer paper and trace it with sharpie onto the vellum.

[@kerimurphy4240]

😊Hi Faith, I recommend Dollar Tree , they are actively expanding the craft section

[@HowtoFaithALife]

I haven't been in SO LONG! That would be a fun video!

[@julievanessa89]

They have so many great things for any craft, especially paper crafting (although it might depend on location). They have stickers including many 3d stickers and gemstone stickers, labels like those shown in this video, silicone stamps, stencils, metal die cuts, and even scrapbook paper! I’ve seen the same exact stickers at Dollar Tree also at Michael’s for over $5.

Hi Faith. New fan here. I wanted to share with you that dowel rods are great for washie tape and ribbon holders. They even work for scrunchies. So maybe if you know someone who can put together a holder for you it can be done pretty affordable. Dollar general carries sgort dowel rods the perfect length. I think there are 8 in a pkg . Get two 2x4 blocks drill holes a little larger for easy sliding in and out. You can attach the blocks to just about anything. Hope this idea helps someone. God bless

I haven't been to Hobby Lobby in a while. It looks they have some really nice things for bible journaling .

[@liferebooted]

I just discovered that I can peel the wood mounted stamps off the wood base and use a clear base to gain more precision. Just be careful peeling it off . You can also make your own tassels with cross stitch thread.

[@rebeccamartin3744]

Put the stamp in the microwave for a few seconds. It will melt the glue and it will peel off a little easier.

I've made covers and dividers with my laminator. I've had it for more than a decade (!), but I tend to use it in spurts.

I have a laminator and it is pretty cool to have. I recently just used them for my Bible note 3 ring binders and they are super nice!!

I bought a cheap laminator and love it - for large pieces and foiling. But for smaller pieces I just use clear packing tape....

I have a rabbit figurine and he’s holding a pole with curly cue branches that holds 10ish egg ornaments. The entire decoration is not quite 2 feet tall but it’s super adorable. I bought it years ago from I think a Hallmark store and I still love my little rabbit holding my ‘Easter tree’

Hi there! I came across your channel a few months ago and it’s inspired me to journal. I tried bullet journaling and it’s weird as an artist, I found it to be too time consuming. My devotional journal was a little bland. I do like to write in my Bible, take notes, doodle, to help me remember what I read. You inspired me to be a bit more creative with my faith journaling journal journey. (I like alliteration lol) Sooo, many times I come across websites to help me. I used to print out portions of the online article and cut them out but I wanted reference and bookmarking them….have you seen my digital bookmarks!!!! Sooooo I decided to. Use QR codes, print them out, cut them out and paste them in my journal with the title, author and date. So now when I go back and read the short notes I took, I”m not trying to remember and sort through my bookmarks, I can just scan and go. Thank you for being so inspiring.

You can use a clothing iron instead of a hair straightener. Just be sure to put something between the iron and the page, and test first. (I use Teflon sheets). Also Tim Holtz's "signature " on his brand does look like a "J", but it's a T. 😉

Love shopping with you, it is cool when I watch you using a supply that I saw you buy. 🙃I do not trust washi, I glue it once I know I want it to be a permanent placement.

Great tips! Love this day in the life. Do more please 🙏 🥰. I have to go check Michaels out, didn’t realize they sold single sheets for scrapbooking. 😮 Crafting has helped keep me motivated to learn, and I’ve seen a difference in my day to day, so I think girl math works in this case 😂❤ P.S. My stationary pal website has great stuff and often have clearance sales. And, If anyone is in NY or near Daiso locations, super affordable prices for supplies around 1.99 each for pens, stickers, and stamps and washi. Japanese, Korean and Mexican markets have little hidden areas for stationary supplies that are cute too. 😊

Sisssss! Do you have a video on how you use your cricket for tabs and things? If not, WE NEED ONE!

OK Faith, here's a couple things I found helpful. Use glue stick on the back of washi tape or stickers that aren't sticky enough. Also check out Cathe Holden paper packs and fabric! So beautiful!! Also the tasels you show in this video, I bought one and used a small clip and hung it on the side of my church bag! Super cute!! Just a side note, they make a tiny hair straightener, people use just for their bangs. (Those are much cheaper). I hope you see this and find it helpful! Blessings! Janet❤

Hi Faith! You are a real inspiration and I wanted to thank you for all you share about Bible Studying . I also love to craft so it is definitely a joy to watch you . I am not very creative but love to try your ideas! I have been a Christian for a long time, but you have really inspired me to be more intentional in my daily devotion and quiet time with the Lord. Thank you for that! I recently bought the bible commentary you recommended and have tlhoroughly enjoyed using it. Also bought the Bible Dictionary. I have highlighted in the commentary as I study and today I felt bad about doing that! regretting my highlights? Maybe because I want my Grandchildren to have these books when I am in heaven. Do you highlight in yours? I feel I have ruined them now for others future use. What are your thoughts on this? Yes , I write and highlight all over my bible:)! I am saving for one like yours-interleaved. I do have OCD so mistakes can drive me insane at times, but I get over it ! I am no youngster,, but love Jesus and my studying and prayer time with him. But I will buy a new commentary if you think it is better left clean! Although I could be your Grandmother, I enjoy watching and studying with you! You are in my prayers- From Arkansas-Donna Lyn Witherow

[@claudiachouest6360]

If your washi peels up, just use your glue stick before adhering it. Helps with making it last.

[@nuvoclassic]

I found that most [non-permanent] inks will smear on coated/glossy papers. That's why the permanent Sharpies work well. Meanwhile I usually avoid writing on coated/glossy papers. Also, for those curling corners, I'd experiment with adhering washi tape to both sides of the corner to 'wrap' it. tfs!

[@GHMPN]

Hi Faith,✌️ Dollar tree has (our) glue Elmer's glue sticks, yay. The huge ones or a 4 pack little one's 👍...but you have to keep watching, the teachers grab them too. Huge hug🤪. Also, you know how you put liquid glue to attach paper into your Bible, I tried using the glue stick and slid it across the edge across a few times, do ends of the edge a few times and Boom, it worked!!👍🥴oh, nevermind 🙄 I didn't see you grab some, they are the best glue!

[@lindamaynard7458]

I love velum and am looking forward to ideas on how to use it in my Bible.

I love vellum, too - as long as i don't get it wet....I found that Elmer's glue stick plus Tombow Vellum tape runner work best for me to adhere vellum. Also, brads, clips, staples and other cold connections work outside the Bible....too much bulk for inside Bibles....

[@sharonyoung8251]

Honestly, I rarely use stickers or laminate anything as I try to keep pages as thin as possible. I use watercolors because if it goes over the text (which I try not to do). You can still read the text.
