Bible Marginalia- with Magazines

 

Recently I joined in with a live zoom 

with Visual Faith ® Ministry to learn more 

about their Bible Journaling by Verse kits.

One of the things I am always trying to problem solve

 is how to invite people that would like to try this out-

 but don't have alot of "supplies."

Before I donate old magazines or recycle them,

I pull out images with colors I like or a background

 that might be used when taken out of context.

I have been doing that ever since I taught a 

Faith Journaling with Junk Mail class 

about 20 years ago.

Getting the mail with alot of junk makes my day.

So here I used the images printed off in the kit 

and found similar colors in a magazine page.

Quickly that became a whole page in my interleaved Bible.

I also love looking for words 

and keep them in a box ready for creating.

  Part of the fun puzzle is piecing together phrases 

and words that pick up on the theme 

of a Bible margin or other printed "creative starters."

This way is great for those stumped with how to begin, 

or just want to try things out a bit.

Magazine paper is generally thinner 

than scrapbook paper,

 so it also helps when creating layers 

in your Bible or journal.

It is fine if you don't prefer to do this in your Bible.

(I only do it this way in my interleaved Bible,

 so I don't cover up any Bible Test)

So grab a magazine, or pick one up 

for sale for 50 cents at the library.

Inspiration is just a page turn away.
