Journal 8: Dream

So my eighth journal I made for Rachel’s Vineyard was a bit more detailed, but for some odd reason took less time than any other journal so far! Only 1 day, and less than 12 hours. Wow!!

This is super fun 6X6 paper I bought a while ago and had never used.

Journal 8: “dream.”

Although I used tiny binder clips, I wanted to add some flair to the journal with ribbons.

This was pretty difficult for me to put together. This is my first time using multiple layers. Up to this point, I’ve really only done 2. It was hard for me to jump out of my comfort zone and layer on things I already liked, but I think it worked out really well.

Here’s where I tried—key word, tried—to do a mixed media/art journal page. This is my first attempt, so bear with me.

So I’m getting closer to completing 12 journals. Only 4 more to go. I pray that God’s heart and hand will be revealed to each woman when they receive these; that they will be blessed and feel loved! I pray daily for these journals, not only for the women who will receive them, but that God will speak to me and guide me creatively, and that each journal will speak directly to the woman who choses it…that it will “Be” created just for her!
