It dawned on me that you may not know that I have an online workshop always open for registration and instant access called Bible Journaling & Lettering Inside and Outside the Margins. It came out in 2016 and then was going to retire but by demand (thank you!) the poor dude never got to retire. The content is always relevant so although the launch date is old, it may be brand new to you...and it is only $29.00. To check it out, you can click here or on the right side bar.
Okay, today lets talk about supplies. If you have "Faith Journaling For The Inspired Artist" turn to page 8.
I start it off with "You might very well already have what you need to get started" and it really is the truth. If you have access to a pencil, pen and some paper, you are ready.
One of the most common "reasons" (aka excuses) people hesitate to start documenting their faith and/or Bible Journaling is because of supplies. You do not have to have a "Journaling Bible," the newest or most expensive set of watercolor paints, the latest set of clear stamps, fancy colored markers, stickers or dare I mention Washi Tape. All of those are things will help you express what you want to journal and document but are not necessary to start.
IMPORTANT: If you find yourself "thinking you need" the right supplies before you can journal in your Bible, it might be time to readjust your thinking. Like I mentioned a few weeks ago, you can remind yourself of this by reading the reminder in the yellow box on page 19 & 25.
There are three things I always have with me as "supplies" for documenting my faith: A Papermate Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencil, a Uniball Signo 207 Micro pen (in black ink) Zig Writer Marker (color: Platinum) and a white eraser. What you use those things on is your choice. It can be a planner, a binder, a post-it note, note card or even a scrap of paper. The important thing is that you write it down. What supplies you decide to use after that is up to you.
Here are several examples of what just using those 4 things looks like:
Take your time growing into this if you are just beginning to document your faith and beware of the "reasons" you are telling yourself why you are not starting....Just start.
