My Book by Book project!

I've been working on my book by book project for Bible journaling.  And it's making a lot of progress!  The page is here: Bible Journaling by Book on Pinterest

There are currently about 3200  pins.  I've done most of them, but I also found some volunteers to help collaborate.  (I'd still love to add more collaborators!! Just let me know!)

Psalms is the biggest board with almost 800 pins.  There are quite a few books that really need some pins. Most are small like Jude and Philemon. But I'm also lacking pictures for Daniel, Numbers, and 1 & 2 Samuel.

My purpose in creating this board was to have place to get inspiration for a specific verse. I looked and couldn't find one, so I made my own.

For example, if I wanted to journal Hebrews 6:19: "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul" (NIV).  The obvious idea would be to use the word "hope" and a picture of an anchor.  But what picture? How should I arrange it?  Here are several options:

My newest pages

I have often said that I am not creative, but I can re-create or modify something other people do.  Here are some examples of my recent journals, as well as the page that inspired it. I've been finding a lot of inspiration and sorting them on my new Pinterest page. Bible Journaling by Book.

Inspiration: Colossians 1:27. (Yes, I realized I got the passage wrong. I'll figure out a way to fix it!)

My interpretation. I didn't add the flowers, but I like the way it turned out. (Except, of course, the typo!)

 

This was kind of a summary of points from Ephesians. While the monochromatic page looks good in the sample, I decided to make mine rainbow.

My version using gel pens.

 My version.  I used water color pencils, but I have not yet decided if I am going to wet it or leave it. I really like the way it turned out.
 

Galatians 5: 22-23--The fruit of the Spirit

I found quite a few ideas, but I loved the idea of the canning jars.

I believe the original used stickers.

 My version. I had drew the jars and I used water color pencils.

Proverbs 16-20

Chapter 16: I haven't gone gray yet, but I will wear it with pride!

Proverbs 16

Chapter 17: Grandma and Grandpa Brinkley always had a plaque on the wall in the kitchen that said,:

"It's better to silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".

I found an owl on Google images and added a jester's hat (also found on Google).

Proverbs 17

Chapter 18: As soon as I read this verse, I knew I wanted to make "the name(s) of the Lord" into bricks in the tower. If you look closely, you'll see me looking out the window after running to safety.

Proverbs 18

Chapter 19: I knew what wanted to draw here, but I had a hard time with it. I attempted to draw several versions of someone sleeping. My husband thought it looked like she was in a coffin. I guess she is resting very contently! :)

Proverbs 19

Chapter 20: I had fun with the rubies and gold bars. Still not happy with my people drawing skills. But I will get there!

Proverbs 20

Inspiration

I often use images I find on Google search or "how to draw" pages I find. Here are a couple of examples.
