Faith Art Journaling!
I'm so glad you're here.
Art journaling your faith is really fun. and freeing. I promise.
You've just gotta start. With me. Today.
Link up any journal pages you make in your comments so we can see.
It's more fun that way.
So what's an art journal anyway?
Here are a ton of great examples of art journals.
Don't let it intimidate you. The beauty of an
art journal is that it is anything you want it to be.
A place for you to create for you. To play. To take risks.
I started off with super simple ideas & materials, so you will just jump in and try it.
I'll add a different technique or tip each day.
And most importantly, I'llbe creating with you each day.
The cool thing I find when I journal consistently is that as I take risks in my journal, I take find myself taking more risks in my "real art" and I grow from it.
Okay I'll stop rambling...
Let's get started!
Starting Simple
Okay here we go...
***************************************************
Day 1: Starting Simple
The best way to start art journaling is simply to start.
Choose a scripture that you love and doodle to your hearts content.
Keep adding lines and dots and more lines until you are finished.
Materials:
Paper
Pen
(I use an extra fine point Sharpie.)
Happy journaling!
Don't forget to link up your art journals in the comments.

I love your doodle! I am a journal keeper, scrapper but the drawing...not so much BUT I so appreciate the inspiration I see from these types of doodles. I occasionally doodle, just more word focused I guess. Love the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've been wanting to art journal more an I can't think of a better way than using The Word for inspiration! Excited to join you! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, this past month I have been keeping a 31 days of praise visual journal. It has been a good journey.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea Erin!
ReplyDeleteI so want to join in.
This is such a beautiful idea! I am looking forward to seeing & reading about your 31 days!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea and can't wait to see what you come up with. I have seen this type of journaling lately online and have been intrigued. I am also doing 31 Days (31 Days of God's Word for my kids). Maybe I will journal some of them like this.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your blog name bold in my Google Reader :) Glad to see I'll have a month of it! Who knows...maybe I'll have an art journal by the end?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful....what a perfect place
ReplyDeleteto start:)

Oh I love this SO MUCH. I have been journaling a wee bit and sharing on instagram and I love it so much! My 31 day series is on praying the psalms...so it would be really fun to combine these 2!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Putting His word into visual form...definately opens my eyes to new possibilities of using my creative talents for spreading His word and love. Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteAmanda.
I like it! I might go find a journal, pretty up the cover, and join you!

I've been trying to motivate myself to do exactly this for about a year now, but I always chicken out. Maybe I'll finally take the plunge and join you this month!
ReplyDeleteoooohhh love this so much!! i already do a bit of it in my daily journal, but this will push me out of my (very) non artistic rut!! thanks!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

This is really great. What happens after day 7? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest and did my first scripture doodle today! Not really a doodle, but I love the way it turned out!
ReplyDeleteI read your blog yesterday and was inspired. So I went to the local thrift shop and bought a few books, today! Here is my first attempt at art journaling. http://inspiredpaperandink.blogspot.ca/2013/04/my-journal-book.html
ReplyDeleteI did it! I'm such a newbie at this, but I love it. Thanks so much for this series and the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI was just reading through your posts and the links for days 21-31 do not work. Will you be fixing these links?
ReplyDeleteI just found your series and love it. Hope you're able to finish the other posts. Thanks for the information!
ReplyDeletei just realised you are running this series via your FB post. i will try to have a go! thank you so much for sharing your process!
ReplyDeleteI did a page today here: http://www.bonitarose.com/2014/09/bible-journaling-hosea-214-15.html
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found you on Pinterest. I already doodle, but never thought about creating a catalog to use in a creative way in my structured prayer journal. I am going to have to give it a try! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI want to start this week! Thanks for inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog through Pinterest. Started following you on IG. So I can tag you in my daily scripture art! Thank you for the wonderful ideas and tutorials! Loving it!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for a blog like this. I don't do the art journal type of thing you do but was looking for quotes and ideas. This is terrific. Love your stuff. I signed up for email updates.

Thank so much for sharing your beautiful artwork! Love it! I found you on Pinterest and wanted to share with you that I scrapbook journal to the Lord in a creative way as well! I love how the Lord is speaking to so many believers!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea so much that I invited a few friends to do this with me for the month of May (since May has 31 days). The Event on Facebook blew up. Please make an appearance, so I can give credit where credit is due. Here is the link to the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1641663619397240/1643423095887959/

ReplyDeleteHello Erin~
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing you are. I just printed up some of your beautiful artwork. Your light shines through your art and your generosity. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven one day my dear sister in Christ. Remain faithful - He is coming back to get us soon!!!
With love and holy kisses, Barbara L.
How do I join this group?!
ReplyDeleteRandomly, came across this website tonight and started the 31 day scripture art journalling. I am so excited to do this and even tho it was late I did day 1!!! Wasn't sure how artistic I could be but I sat there and ideas did come!! Again, I am so excited to see where this takes me.
ReplyDeletewow. i was so excited to do this but your day 1 simple was a bit too intimidating for me. your doodles are INCREDIBLE and so detailed. don't have any idea where to start. i couldn't do anything faintly resembling what you did. :(
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog....I love it...I have an art journal and I've been trying to discipline myself to do it more regularly...I will now as I use your 31 days! Thanks! I'm also sharing this blog with several members of my ladies group at church. I know they will love it and benefit from it! PS: My own daughter's name is "Erin Leigh"! She is probably about your age!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across this blog. I love this! I wish I'd discovered it earlier
ReplyDeleteStumbled upon your journaling through googling about prayer...I love journaling with art and journaling Scripture is a new challenge. Thanks for your making this available and your encouragement! Where do you post the pictures?
