Two Stress-Free Ways To Decorate Your Scripture Writing: Easy Frames and Stickers

[@dmcfarland3504]

THANK YOU Sherry for removing pressure and placing the emphasis on God’s Word where it belongs!

[@barbgriffin4969]

When you go to be with the Lord, and you pass your scripture writing on to someone, they will love just having your handwriting. The art is just a bonus.

[@Elaine_Jim_McGuire]

Thank you for sharing these tips. I started my journey with you on August 1st and havent missed a day. I am mindful of what you said in earler videos that its not about the art, its about the time you are spending in the scripture and with God. Since im also a musician, I also include at the bottom of each page a hymn that the Holy Spirit places in my ear ... I'm remembering songs i havent played in 20 years. What blessing!!!!

[@thehomespunwife]

That is wonderful, Elaine!! I love it.♥

[@bhallmark3390]

You have a real knack for helping to put listeners at ease. Your words have given me permission to not strive for perfection and to do what is good for each day. I’ll be a border girl every day if that’s the vibe I’m feeling, and I know I don’t have to compare myself to others….😉 I praise God for all of us here and for each of our unique talents! ❤-Brenda

[@thehomespunwife]

Amen, Brenda!! 🩷

[@vickischlupp3412]

Something else I found- when I’m waiting to fall asleep and I want to remember my verse of the day, if I can remember what I drew on the page at least part of the verse will come back in my mind. So it’s been a good way for me to meditate on scripture, for which I am very thankful.

[@thehomespunwife]

This is true for me too, Vicki! Thank you for sharing that. ♥

[@barbaracarlson1331]

I am now ready to start!!😊

[@kimberlygriffin5012]

Your pages are beautiful! ❤ I like to do many arty things, paint, draw, etc, but my deepest joy is encouraging people who don’t think they can do art. I had another idea to share as I was watching. If you have scrapbook papers sitting in your closet (like mine), pick out some solid colors or pretty designs, cut thin strips and use them as a border by gluing them on. Old wrapping papers would work or even construction paper. Magazine pages would be great borders or cut out the pictures. Tearing the paper would give an interesting edge. Or if you did scrapbooking and had those special scissors that cut little designs, use those. I have several very small notes my sons wrote to me when they were little. I think I’ll get those out of hiding and use them to decorate scripture too. ❤

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Kimberly! Those are great suggestions. I have also used pretty washi tape to add creativity to the page, so that's another option! ♥️

[@MDay-hh1bm]

Thank you so much. So excited when I get to hear your GODLY Wisdom, knowledge and insight. Truly refreshes my soul. PRAISE the LORD & ABUNDANT BLESSINGS to you!

WOW your angel stickers is Stunning. Norman Vincent Peale said negative thoughts multiply negative thoughts so this should propel us to study scripture because there are so many cheerful scriptures, Cast your care on Him for he cares for you.

[@lindamcauley4728]

He isn't Christian.

[@ehealthshop]

He was a Protestant teacher. He knew that words coming out of our mouths can be life or death. He always looked to the positive. Yes, there is a fine line between thinking positive to get rich or positives for encouragement, have to know what your motivation is.

[@bunniesandroses499]

@@ehealthshop Dr. Peale started preaching when people were coming out of the War and they were scared, so basically he was saying, Have Faith in GOD, and I am sure he is in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bunniesandroses499]

What he means by negative thoughts is COMPLAINING as the Israelites died in the desert because of their ungratefulness.

Another cheap and easy way to decorate your pages is cut and paste. A glue stick at dollar tree, a scissors, and old catalogs, magazines, calendars and so forth have many beautiful items you can cut and paste.

[@thehomespunwife]

I am a kid at heart when it comes to stickers and a have so many because I love them so much that I didn’t want to waste them on ordinary, throw away papers but what could be more precious & beautiful than using them on my scripture writing pages? I am so excited with this idea. Thank you so much.and I also love drawing squiggles. You have blessed me today!

[@ernemaboettner2167]

@@thehomespunwife It is so sweet of you to reply. I thank God for you. I am one of those who does not have the "golden" ( not sure if this is an appropriate expression) thumb of art. So I love your ideas so as not to feel insecure. Engaging with the Scripture-that is so good for me and so thankful you mentioned that. I can lose this most important part of Scripture writing when I am stressed about how to make it perfect. Love the verses in Psalm 119:96-97! "It can be a rectangle that does not look like a rectangle." LOL I love a Christian woman who has a funny bone.

[@judyhazel2468]

I love your creativity with God's Word! Thank you! It just seems these beautiful scriptures and artwork should be written on something other than notebook paper. Many are frame-worthy!! I realize that notebook paper is easily available and economical, however, if anyone wants to leave their scripture writing as a legacy to family, they should use acid free and lignin free papers that will not turn yellow or become crisp, like old newspapers. Scripture writing reminds me of my Mom's and Grandma's recipes which I treasure! Blessings to you! ❤

I'm just starting to get into scrapbooking and junk journals and you tubers say to get cards at the dollar tree (they are $1.00 and $.0.50) to use . So you could get a pretty card and cut out the image and glue it on or use double sided tape. Another idea is use stamps with ink pads. I've found myself in that situation because I don't want two pages to be a like yet , so now I have some new ideas and I'll use my scrapbook items and stamps, stickers.
