Good Morning Creatives!
Today I am sharing project that is near and dear to my heart.
Last week, I showed you one of the projects we did at the Saving Grace Mentor/Mentee retreat using the Social Artworking “Be Brave” canvas.
The next day, we worked on we called a “Brave Prayer Journal.”
The base was a small Tim Holtz Idea-ology Folio.
Tim has a great little video from CHA a few years ago that shows his thoughts behind the creation of the folio and some examples.
My project-Brave Prayer Journal
For my Folio project, I wanted it to be a representation of me….bright…funky and very textured.
I used packet journaling style cards from Hobby Lobby along with loads of yummy DecoArt Acrylicpaints.
The girls of Saving Grace always LOVE deer (it’s a little bit of an inside joke), so of course I had to include one!
Opening the journal gives you loads of place to add embellishments and your thoughts.
This is a lesson I did for the girls about how to be Brave in the real world.
You can get a copy of this lesson here: BRAVE Prayerful Art Journal.
Using pocket page cards, I created a series of flaps and tags as places to add scriptures and places to journal my thoughts.
Oh look…another deer!
My folding a card “matchbook style” I created a few places to have journaling that couldn’t be easily read.
Closing Thoughts
As always, I would love if you would check out Saving Grace and learn more about the life changing things they are doing for girls in crisis.
If you are wanting to start a prayer journal, my friend Jennifer Watson (I quoted her in my BRAVE Journal curriculum) has a great series on her blog about prayer journaling. You can read more here: Jennifer Renee Watson.
Do you keep a prayer journal? I would love to see and know your thoughts. Leave a link in the comments below.
Until Next time…
XOXO,
