“And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming the work we do. Oh yes, affirm the work that we do!” - Psalm 90:17 (MSG)

I love this verse because it speaks so beautifully of creating and living an art-filled life - whether that is painting, gardening, baking, anything! We are going to take this verse, write it, paint it, and I’ll also share with y’all what a bliss station is and how to create one in your own home. 

STEP 1:

Write out the passage on a piece of paper. I am using a piece of mixed media paper and a Faber Castell SC pen. We are going to use this verse as a sacred prayer for our bliss station.

STEP 2:

Let’s add color and details! I'm using Prima Marketing Classics Watercolors to add paint and decorate this verse. I’m coloring hearts and adding some yellow and blue dots. I’ll also doodle a little border with flowers. This is so simple and easy, and now you have a pretty verse for your bliss station...

“Be alert. Be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out!” - Isaiah 43:29 (MSG)

Yay for Fall! 

We’re starting a new season, and turning the page to a new chapter. 

Just like this week’s verse says, “God is doing something brand-new!”, we’re going to write this verse, doodle and paint a simple fall leaf, and create a little autumn card for yourself or a friend. 

I hope this helps y’all look for the surprises that God has for us during this time of the year, and think of this as a fresh start in your own life!

STEP 1:

Let’s make our card! You can use any type of paper - I’m using handmade cotton deckle edge paper. Fold it in half and write your verse with a permanent pen. I’m using a Faber-Castell pen. I love getting a verse out of my head and onto paper because it really helps me see things in a new way. I’ll also doodle a few flowers and leaves. Plus,...

“Show me how you work, God. School me in your ways. Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth.” Psalm 25: 4-5 (MSG) 

There’s something very special and powerful about writing out scripture and combining it with some doodles and sketches. It’s a beautiful way to pray and seek God, especially when we’re dealing with life’s daily decisions.

Today, I’m doodling a verse for you and then I’m going to go through all of my favorite art supplies. This is perfect if you’re a beginner and don’t know where to start!

STEP 1:

For this particular verse, I’m cutting a wonky shape from a piece of mixed-media cardstock. Then, I’ll doodle a quick border and flowers, and write my verse in the middle. I’m going to make the word “truth” in bubble letters to make it really stand out.

STEP 2:

Next, I’m going to grab my watercolor palette and grab my favorite color - pink! I’ll just take...
