and I also have added a Basics Kit for journal cards which is basically taking the Chapters Kit and breaking it up into smaller journaling cards for pocket page journals or scripture inserts. You could also use it in a regular size journal as well, but know that they print out as cards sized 3X4 or 4X6.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am a huge fan of all of the Bible Journaling going on all over Pinterest. I love the idea of adding artwork to the sacred scriptures to show how important they are to me and how much I treasure them. Plus it makes studying them really REALLY fun to me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am LDS and so a lot of my studying is from the Bible, and also the <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng" target="_blank">Book Of Mormon</a>. The Internet FINALLY came out with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kvj+wide+margin+bibles" target="_blank">Kings James Version Wide Margin Bibles on Amazon</a> so I can jump on that bandwagon if I want, wahoo! However, the Book of Mormon does not have a wide margin copy available at this time unless you print it out yourself. I actually have done this and will post about it at a later time. But as for a regular sized BOM that you can easily carry around with you like to church, there is none. This makes it hard to do artistic works with such little margin space without going on top of the words. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Although I love the beautiful artwork in the Bible Journaling wide margin pictures, there are a few things that I have to and like to do differently. I am ok with this book having imperfections in it. I've never been a fan of my handwriting, but its a part of me and so is this book. It's real life. I like to try to keep all artwork light enough that you can always read the words underneath. I don't want my artwork to become more important than the sacred scriptures themselves. I also don't limit my pages to only the artwork- I still add comments, word definitions, clarifications, etc. in my scriptures. Only artwork definitely looks better, but because I am studying them it's important for me to understand what I am reading. So my scriptures may look different than all the great ones on Pinterest, but thats ok because what I do works for me, helps me to learn, and motivates me to continue studying. <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2004/04/my-soul-delighteth-in-the-scriptures?lang=eng&country=nz" target="_blank">Julie B.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you are curious about the different colors I use for my general markings, here is a picture of my color legend. I have this in one of the front pages of my book. Everyone likes to make their own. I have used this long enough now that I don't need the legend and so I tend to stick with these colors in all my studies.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;">I like to use all sorts of craft supplies in my scriptures- colored pencils, stickers, glitter glue, washi tape, ink pads and sprays, </span></span><span style="color: #333333;">gessos, paints, etc. Later I would like to do a post on more complicated pages using more art supplies.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">If you are interested in what pens I like the best that won't bleed through your thin scripture pages you can view those in an earlier post </span><a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2016/03/learn-from-my-mistakes-4-dos-and-donts.html" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">One of the easiest ways to decorate your scriptures are with colored pencils. Get a little crazy and you can even use watercolored pencils. Combined with a <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2016/03/learn-from-my-mistakes-4-dos-and-donts.html" target="_blank">black fine tip pen</a>, you are good to go. No page prepping needed or fancy painting materials. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Here are some examples of using colored pencils in my Book of Mormon.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With such small margin space sometimes just paying special attention to your lettering can make a big difference. Even if its just one special word.</span></span></div>

I did use some <a href="https://www.papersource.com/kits/glitter-applications.html" target="_blank">Stickles glitter glue</a> on these pages to highlight the fruit on the tree, fruit, and building. I got mine at the local Hobby Lobby.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Its been awhile since I posted. Having a baby will do that to you. But I am too excited to share my latest projects with you to not post. In going along with my <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/search/label/scripture%20journal" target="_blank">scripture journals</a>, I try to mark my actual scriptures as well when I study. Before I can share all the cool stuff I have started to do, I need to share all the failures I've had so that you don't ruin your set of scriptures like I did. My first try I learned a lot of what works and what doesn't! So let me share my best tips:</span></div>

I have tried out a lot of pens and markers. And I have found some good ones and bad. The size of the pen (the fineness) really matters as well. It can be a great brand but if the pen is too thick it can bleed. So I have listed the sizes as well. By far my favorite writing black pen for my thin scripture pages is the </span></span></div>

This is generally just a piece of paper that you glue into the binding of your scriptures with a glue stick. In my first Book of Mormon, I used a lot of heavier paper simply because I owned a pack of card stock that was precut to the perfect size. I also liked how it was sturdier to handle whatever media I chose to put on it. I found out the hard way that by using too many inserts, especially thick ones like card stock, it literally kills your scriptures binding. My brand new real leather Book of Mormon fell apart after 1 Nephi with all my inserts. I was so bummed because I had put so much work into it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">I thought I was so creative by buying an older Book of Mormon without the cut in tabs. I thought I would have more room for writing in the margins and then I could add cute custom tabs to the outside. It was a nice idea, but the reality is those darn pages are so thin that anytime I tried to use the tabs, the pages would rip. I tried making them stronger by using washi tape but that still didn't help. The pages were too weak. I ended up having to tape my whole page back together and it was a hot mess.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In studying 1 Nephi Chapter 19, I came across a couple different charts outlining the makeup of the Book of Mormon. They explain how the different records were gathered and combined to make one record that we use today. Some records were quoted, others were abridged <span style="font-size: x-small;">(which if you are like me- you had to look that word up in the dictionary to learn that an abridgement is a shortened version of a larger work)</span>. I tried to print these charts out but the quality of the images were so low that they were hardly readable. So I took the two I liked, combined the parts that I liked and took out the stuff I thought was too much information for one little chart, and voila! I made this handy dandy chart that you can print out and insert into your scriptures or your scripture journals for your reference. I watermarked the image below for pinterest, however if you want a version without the watermark, you can <a href="http://www.4shared.com/photo/NHKCp4tg/Book_of_Mormon_Plates_and_Reco.html" target="_blank">download it here</a>. Depending on your usage, some resizing may be necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Now I don't claim to be a scripture scriptorian, and this chart is based off of how I understood the other charts. So if you see something that is wrong by all means let me know and I will fix it. To see the original charts, you can view them <a href="http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/book_of_mormon/plates.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://byustudies.byu.edu/book_of_mormon_charts/charts/13.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>. You are welcome :) Happy studying!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While using my <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/03/scripture-journal-character-analysis.html" target="_blank">Character Analysis Templates</a> I have often wished I had some sort of label to put across the top of the person's name I am studying. So I created a kit that includes 20 character labels with varying looks for scripture journals. Simply print them out, cut them out, and if desired, color them in.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zWeCHEgArog9X8exhzoGUaosGgi3N4p1rZB6AFVz-s1C3E4YJJS267qmJIrlSLNWDwEksRYoHyIqIHkTKaKB8jGZiZsRTVWzNiGbAT7HdVASmRhyCnyo8JDxVbAiyhH9Q9DSAs_wqdk/s1600/IMG_4788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zWeCHEgArog9X8exhzoGUaosGgi3N4p1rZB6AFVz-s1C3E4YJJS267qmJIrlSLNWDwEksRYoHyIqIHkTKaKB8jGZiZsRTVWzNiGbAT7HdVASmRhyCnyo8JDxVbAiyhH9Q9DSAs_wqdk/s400/IMG_4788.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I've used a label here for my page on John The Beloved, where I used it in the center of the page and then branching out from it are all the important scriptures that teach me about him. (I colored the border in green to match the scrapbook paper).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFyZ0grlHiWnybS6LNY9zSR6lkEMVbccCDHr-OYbnJ6QzOj2jXgmwZ5b_sN_OClUCAD1Ub1kXXVnWz6q06GznJGv_5Pj9cv5QFjM6GLY2TE37hsMXR1UgpubDuYxpVUZrtmDGs10jFuM/s1600/IMG_4789.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFFyZ0grlHiWnybS6LNY9zSR6lkEMVbccCDHr-OYbnJ6QzOj2jXgmwZ5b_sN_OClUCAD1Ub1kXXVnWz6q06GznJGv_5Pj9cv5QFjM6GLY2TE37hsMXR1UgpubDuYxpVUZrtmDGs10jFuM/s400/IMG_4789.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm attaching the following picture just because I thought it was a fun idea. I took a file folder and glued it shut to make an envelope and then added little strips to pull out with thoughts on each one.<br />
You could put a label on the front of the envelope with strips inside of what you have learned about that person.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_jsNTE8pDxkUTd9vvBonUdmpDnGlYSvMqxJ5xaut15sJqnMiaXhovIZA85bPFwCufzmvYurbUEx7mqr22MfnYdmLdQ1LDRWWT23T_EYvW2Hu4CXxkZsktqxHJLEaSM4GEQXXMTS5zk8/s1600/IMG_4791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_jsNTE8pDxkUTd9vvBonUdmpDnGlYSvMqxJ5xaut15sJqnMiaXhovIZA85bPFwCufzmvYurbUEx7mqr22MfnYdmLdQ1LDRWWT23T_EYvW2Hu4CXxkZsktqxHJLEaSM4GEQXXMTS5zk8/s400/IMG_4791.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For those who like to keep things simple, I have also shown how to use them with the <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/03/scripture-journal-character-analysis.html" target="_blank">Character Analysis Templates</a> as I mentioned earlier. I just printed it out, cut it out, and colored it in and glued it to the top of the page. Easy peasy and it adds a pop of color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1st Nephi Character Labels to use with your character analysis
templates. Simply print, cut, and paste right on top of your journal. 20
labels will be sent on 3 .pdf files including characters listed in the
first book of The Book of Mormon.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For awhile now I have been creating pages in my journal for all the different locations I am studying about. You've got the Valley of Lemuel, Nahom, Bountiful, Jerusalem, and more locations all mentioned in just the first book of Nephi. I came up with the idea of creating a template for these types of pages. So here is a kit that includes vintage maps of Arabia (for studying the journey of Lehi's family after they left Jerusalem before they sailed to the promised land), Central America (for after they reach the promised land), as well as the United States (for studying the Doctrine and Covenants). Here is my first try at using the Arabia template for a page I was working on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can see at the top there is a place to list the name of the location you are studying, and then a vintage map below it. Next to the map is a blank space. This is meant for you to attach any pictures you have found of that place more close up. I just printed my picture out and used washi tape to attach it (with photo splits on the back).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The map is black and white but I used watercolor colored pencils to fill it in. It was so much fun! I love to color! Then I added a star to the specific point on the map that I am learning about using metallic gel pens.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Below the map is a space to list any historical facts about that place, and below that an area to list any scriptures that reference that location and what you learned. And as always a place to list any other journal references. Each template comes in a .pdf format. Also included is an instruction page to show you how to fill the page in (marks shown in red).

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have a new template called "My Personal Study" and it is for your chapters scripture journals. Here is an example of it that I used in my own journal:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">"My Personal Study Of" template has the following categories:</span></div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 30px 35px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.4em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Quick plot summary- You describe what is going on in the chapter</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.4em;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Word research- these are definitions or quotes that explain what a word means</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.4em;">People and Locations- anytime a person or place is mentioned in the chapter I list them in this area and see what they have taught me</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.4em;">Topics/ Gospel principles that need to be explored- these are topics mentioned in the chapters such as forgiveness, prayer, recognizing the spirit, obedience, commandments, etc. I list what I learned about that topic.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.4em;">Additional Scriptures and/or footnotes I looked up</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Where it asks for other journal's page reference, it wants you to list any other journal where that particular topic is mentioned. Each of my journals has a volume number. My Chapters is Volume 1 and my Topics is Volume 2. Then each page has a page number in the corner. So I can easily list where to find something </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">with the marking (volume:page number). So under this category, all these topics start out with the number 2, because they can all be found in more length in my second volume journal which is my topics journal. Then the following numbers are page numbers. Ex: in the picture of "Enduring Well" the other journal reference is listed as 2:101-102. That tells me that if I want to read more about what I learned about the topic Enduring Well, I would need to go to pages 101-102 of my Volume 2 journal. Does that make sense?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As part of my layout for 1 Nephi Chapter 18 I doodled a little picture representing the symbolism because I am a very visual learner and it helps it make more sense to me. </span></div>

Paxton loves airplanes and so does my hubby so it seemed fitting. For the invitations we used airplane boarding pass tickets with all the details of the party for their flight information. All the link details are listed at the bottom of this post. (The scrapbook pages are layouts I cut in half so you could see the pictures bigger)</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I am always looking for new ways to journal my scripture studies and I came across a cool style that is used in sketch notes. Here is my inspiration page:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.yahnyinlondon.com/post/18334264234/ixd12-redux-in-london-sketchnotes" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCa4tDBiTaCd9yBgw_NGbr7y17f7PyFsXuDoaJVe_Yz_uzIkINukCMcRgPP9MK5BZ2nf5nI2WU505mzGeagrv3W7DZBVEQnTKcq4Dv2g83s3grQ38uPxHWIOSr-m0o-BT_CFyXDtIigmg/s640/6932532605_33dc3a91f7_z.jpg" width="467" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Its a way of taking notes that is very visual. The idea is to use a lot of pictures and less words to get a point across. Since I have so many words that I don't want to leave out, I chose instead to use the layout ideas to enhance the look of my scripture journal pages. I started with the idea of using a gray marker to shadow words and dashes. What a difference it made! That is now a standard thing I do on all my pages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also like the look of the dashes and the labels. I also tried to incorporate more visual images, small icons and pictures. It has made a fun different look to what could have been some very boring pages.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">This is a project I made to help me with anxiety and panic attacks. Some of you may be familiar with that bag of worms but most probably not. Its something I deal with from time to time and so much of it is rooted in negative thinking. </span>When things get rough for me I like to put positive affirmations up all over my house to remind me to hang in there and to reprogram my negative thoughts with positive ones. Sounds silly but it works for me. However, when things get better I throw them all away. The next time I need them, I find myself having to look them all up again online. This got me thinking of a more permanent solution so that I could have all of my favorite quotes and affirmations where I see them often and easily accessible.<br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
I came up with the idea of making a flip book. This now sits on my nightstand where its the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. The cool thing with this concept is you can replace what I have used it for with your own favorite quotes, scriptures, calendars, recipes, family pictures, Halloween or Christmas mini albums or whatever you want.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Here is an example of one of my favorite positive affirmations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZcDZS-eYnLNsAFiye2m7OjEr74k9Uwob3ADZM_zfUYG2HSURpPswEOM2nZ7OITZnOlGe9pCL7orH9pVeAI-GQ7MDTaGMs-KOdAQMMjGu-zGfrqCWLNgrdK_RGcQIS2TDZzcQ2DdSgeFw/s1600/IMG_2164.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZcDZS-eYnLNsAFiye2m7OjEr74k9Uwob3ADZM_zfUYG2HSURpPswEOM2nZ7OITZnOlGe9pCL7orH9pVeAI-GQ7MDTaGMs-KOdAQMMjGu-zGfrqCWLNgrdK_RGcQIS2TDZzcQ2DdSgeFw/s400/IMG_2164.jpg" width="385" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">A lot of my anxiety stems from me worrying about my anxiety flaring up in public and how that will effect what others think of me. I have to remind myself that it doesn't matter if people think I am weird because I get panic attacks. It only matters what I think of me and I have to remind myself that I love and respect myself the way I am even with my anxiety no matter what anyone else thinks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">This particular page has a little bit of symbolism on it. The handwriting (ok traced handwriting hehe) and the crackled paper are to remind me that I don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. The number one in the corner is to remind me to put myself and my happiness first.</span><br />
<br />
This was REALLY easy to make for anyone interested in doing their own. I'm keeping mine simple because I don't want it to get too big. My supplies for just the flipbook all came from my local Hobby Lobby or home and were:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
2, 8X8 pieces of thick cardboard from the back of a sketchbook<br />
1, 12X12 and 1, 8.5 X 11 piece of cream cardstock paper<br />
1 8X8 piece of patterned scrapbook paper<br />
Tim Holtz grungeboard book (This will be for the different sections) I will use a thinner grungeboard paper for the individual affirmations so the book isn't so thick.<br />
Photo splitz and a gluestick<br />
<br />
I used the tutorial found <a href="http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/09/todays-guest-polkadot-chair.html" target="_blank">here</a> to make my blank flip book. It took me maybe an hour and cost less than $15.00 (Can be cheaper using coupons).<br />
<br />
The stand looks like this from the side:<br />

I'm really excited about this because its so easy and customizable to whatever you want.<br />

I have been spending a lot of time studying and journaling about <a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/8?lang=eng" target="_blank">Lehi's vision in Chapter 8 of 1 Nephi</a>. I have never before gone into it with so much depth. Although there is more about the vision I've journaled about, I wanted to dedicate one layout to the different symbols of the vision and what they represent. Here is how I did this page:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got my inspiration from this digital scrapbook layout:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.myscrapbookart.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=289045&cat=fav" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYpwQ1XYx0YTs8C7FBs4ICmH4w0kes2SFKsAcRyKCI30Et6E4leDXMyE9DjtwQXNuiQEA1vcLKqWqnWgli4I2En4qkJY3rH8aOpk66mo6BZ4fw7GFdZjUS1I68wCTr2nxVOln11qvSnQg/s200/35888128250457137_0WuIvAql_f.jpg" width="200" /></a>I love the concept of the boxes with doodles and journaling. Since my scripture journal has lots of text and little pictures, I thought this would be a great way to incorporate both. I had to make adjustments based on the size of my journal and the amount of information I wanted for each symbol. First I did everything lightly in pencil and then filled it in with black micron pens and colored pencils. Because my paper has ridges in it, there were darker lines showing and I wanted a smoother look. So I busted out my new <a href="http://www.shopatron.com/products/productdetail/Koi+Coloring+Brush+-+12+piece+Starter+Set/part_number=XBR-12SA/294.0.1.1.8816.1009250.0.0.0?pp=8&" target="_blank">Koi watercolor brushes</a> that I have never used before. I was a little intimidated to use them and wasn't quite sure how they worked. I checked out some tutorial videos found <a href="http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/video-gallery" target="_blank">here</a>. They have a lot of different ones you can learn from. Here's an example one:</div>

I also used other materials such as gelly roll metallic pens and <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/04/journaling-artistically-tim-holtz.html" target="_blank">perfect pearls</a>. I took a picture with the light shining on the journal so you can sort of see the shimmery effect perfect pearls has on the tree when it is in the light:</div>

For the straight and narrow path, I made it straight, but I changed the texture along the way. Starting on the path to Heavenly Father can be rocky and difficult. Repenting isn't easy. As you make your way to baptism the path gets less rocky. And then the closer you get to the presence of the Lord the shinier, more beautiful and smoother the path gets. </div>

There are a lot of beautiful paintings that already exist of Lehi's vision. But this page is special to me because of the time I put into it. I will remember so much more from this experience. I hope it helps you to think outside of the box when journaling what you are reading about.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I have a hard time making layouts in my scripture journal that is all writing based. I am so used to working with pictures from scrapbooking that the transition is difficult. I can make simple pages that look great artistic wise but they don't hold alot of information. Or I can have a page with a ton of information, but its not very pretty. So finding a balance is tricky and I thought I would share new tools and techniques I have been learning for anyone else trying to have an artistic journal that is also filled with lots of writing and information.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">This is an insert I made for my Topic Scripture Journal page on Faith. I used alot of supplies and inspiration from Tim Holtz designs. The hardest part is just having all the supplies. When you have that, the things you can make are endless. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><b>Supplies Needed:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Cardstock Paper or Tag of any size (My paper was completely white when I started)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-15486/ranger-inkssentials-craft-sheet/Detail" target="_blank">Craft Sheet</a>- This thing is so awesome I love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><a href="http://www.timholtz.com/ink.htm" target="_blank">Distress Inks</a> of any colors (I used Broken China, Black Soot, and Vintage Photo)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-14083/distress-distressor-distressing-IBT23616/Detail" target="_blank">Ink Blending Tool</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Spray bottle with water (He has a mister but any sprayer will do)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-12851/tim-holtz-ideaology-idea/Detail" target="_blank">Grungeboard</a> (I used the angel wings and Crown)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><a href="http://www.timholtz.com/cracklepaint.htm" target="_blank">Distress Crackle Paint</a> (I used Auntiqued Linen)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Gold Paint or <a href="http://www.timholtz.com/stickles.htm" target="_blank">Glitter Glue</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Stamps (I used a clock stencil I found at my craft store)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Perfect Pearls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Micron Black pen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Light box</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Heat It Craft Tool (I just use my blowdryer)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Any other embellishments (I used </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prima Flowers WOOD CLOCKS) Just remember if its for a journal to keep them more flat and not too chunky.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><b>How to Do it:</b> (All embellishments can be replaced with your own)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">1. I followed this video tutorial from Tim Holtz to learn how to ink up my paper to be blue. (He shows you how to do it within the first 3.5 minutes of the video).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MtGJ8_kwLk4" width="400"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">2. I then went around the edge inking using Vintage Photo Ink and the blending tool. (Starting on your craft mat make little circles and slowly move onto the sides of your paper).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">3. Blow it with heat tool or hair dryer for a few minutes. (Must be dry before you apply the perfect pearls.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">4. Stamp Clock image onto background using stamp or stencil and Black Soot Ink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">5. Go over it using Perfect Pearls- the white powder. How to do this is also shown in the video above. My pictures don't really show how it looks because you need to see it in person. So watch the video to get an idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">6. <a href="http://www.oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/04/journaling-tips-and-tricks-adding.html" target="_blank">Trace the quote onto the paper using a Micron pen and lightbox</a>. I used the fonts, Pea Devon Caps, Arial, and Scriptina.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">7. Take <a href="http://www.timholtz.com/vid_grungeboard.html" target="_blank">grungeboard</a> wings and crown. I painted my wings using the crackle paint. I used gold paint or gold glitter glue to paint the crown. And glue grungeboard onto paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">8. Glue wood clock on top of grungeboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">It looks like a lot of work but it takes just a few minutes to do. And it is <b>super crazy fun</b>. And super forgiving. Since I gave this one away I had to make another one for my book and adding all the additional information I had on the topic made it a little more awkward but it ended up like this:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Imagine if you just did a quote journal based on these inserts and techniques. It could be so beautiful. Using the same technique and supplies but just using a different stamp made this:</span><br />

I plan to use this when I get to the tree of life. Its hard to see from the picture but I used glitter glue to make raised bumps for the fruit. I used perfect pearls copper and white on the tree which you also can't see. Oh and green ink too for the grass. I also used this to make some invites and it took me maybe an hour or two to make over a dozen. Its super fast and fun. </div>

One thing I haven't been able to find is wrinkle free paper. There is some out there I know, but I haven't found it yet. I just have to let mine flatten in a book for a bit when I am done.</div>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Has anyone else come up with some artistic ways to balance art and information in there journals? I'd love to hear about it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I dedicated one side of the page to a Humble woman and the other side to a Prideful Woman. I chose those portraits because I wanted something better than stick figures, something with color, and I like them. :) I think Venus by Botticelli looks very pure in that image. And for the other woman (Boreas by John William Waterhouse)- I feel like she is shielding herself from all the prideful things I have written next to her, protecting herself from them becoming a part of her. I searched a long time to find an evil looking woman and just couldn't find anything that seemed to fit. So there it is. </span></div>

(FYI: e</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #211922; line-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">very time you use Comic Sans, a designer loses their wings.)</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #211922; font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Depending on the paper I use, sometimes I will just print a font right onto the page and other times I will print it out on regular paper and using a little light box (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $10), I will trace the letters onto it like I did here. </span><br />

The whole quote was done awhile ago and I just added into the page. I share this idea because you could have a get together or craft night with friends where you decorate fun quotes for your scripture journals and save the personal study stuff for later.<br />
<br />
I used the talk <a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference/1989/04/beware-of-pride?lang=eng&query=beware+pride" target="_blank">"Beware of Pride" by Ezra Taft Benson </a> (a really AWESOME talk btw) to get all the humble and prideful attributes I listed on the pages. Sometimes I just used opposites of each other. There is still room left on the Humble side so if I come across anything in the future I can continue to add to it.<br />

One of my favorite things to do when studying is to do a character analysis on the people I am reading about. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">I try to attach my favorite picture of that person. I look up scriptures where that person's name is mentioned, and as I go through the chapters write down anything I have learned from them. I do a search on lds.org and depending on the person, sometimes there are entire talks written about them. In that case I may attach quotes that I like, more historical facts if there are any, personality traits, physical descriptions, important life events, what they have taught me, etc. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">In doing this I created a few templates that I just print out and fill in and it keeps my studying organized. I've decided to make them available for you. Here are what the templates look like:</span><br />

<br />
There are 2 ways to do a Topics Scripture Journal. You can either pick topics beforehand and list them alphabetically and then fill the appropriate page out when you study, or you can gather topics as you do your <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/02/scripture-journal-tutorial-part-2.html" target="_blank">chapter studies</a>. To do the latter:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IN THE SCRIPTURES-</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you are studying the scriptures, look past the story and find the principle(s) being taught. Here I am using an example of Faith.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IN YOUR CHAPTERS JOURNAL-</span><br />
In my <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2013/07/my-personal-study-page-and-freebie.html" target="_blank">chapter study</a>, I write Faith down as a doctrine or principle I found and what I learned from it. You may have to zoom the picture to see but in the last column you can see a spot to list what page in your TOPICS journal you have expanded on the subject.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IN YOUR TOPICS JOURNAL-</span><br />
Similar to the template I made for my chapters journal, I made one for my topics journal as well. You don't have to have these to make the journals, I just like how it keeps everything organized. I have many pages where I don't use this template and still love them. But I want to share with you the headings so that it can help you with your studying. However you decide to put it in your journal is up to you.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I am HORRIBLE at remembering names with faces. As hard as I try to know all the apostles names when I see them at General Conference, a lot of times I get them mixed up. Let's admit it can be confusing. In my scripture journals, I have been quoting them alot, and there have been times that I wanted to know what that person looked like. Then I got an idea. Why not make stickers out of the pictures online of the apostles and prophets and then I can put their picture in my scripture journal when I quote them!?! Duh! Then I can see their face whenever I read their quote and over time hopefully it will help me remember them and feel a more personal connection with them. </span><br />

But I eventually found them on the church website and I added some people that I have been quoting alot in my journals. People like Marion G. Romney, Hugh Nibley, and prophets and apostles that have since passed away like Gordan B. Hinkley, Spencer W. Kimball, Neal A. Maxwell, Bruce R. McConkie and more. I imagine I will have to continue to add people and a second sheet may come in the future. But for now I want to share with you sheet one. All you have to do is buy sticker paper at your local Walmart or craft store, print them out on your ink jet printer and cut them out. Its really super easy. This is the brand I use and the paper is acid free and lignin free so you don't have to worry! <a href="http://www.4shared.com/photo/fnItLcRy/First_Presidency_and_Quorum_of.html?refurl=d1ur\" target="_blank">Download the free printable by clicking here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I love lists. What woman doesn't, right? There is something so satisfying about crossing something off that says, "Good job, keep up the great work". While trying to organize my home with a more routine cleaning schedule, I took <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/274764/cleaning-checklists/@center/276998/organizing-checklists#/217955" target="_blank">Martha Stewarts daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal cleaning checklists</a> and combined them into one excel spreadsheet. Then I added and adjusted some things to better fit my family's needs. After finishing it, I thought why not share it in case some one else wants to save some time? You can download it for free <a href="http://www.4shared.com/office/CrEyrZJJ/house-cleaning-schedule-templa.html" target="_blank">here</a>. You can add a column for the "owner" of the job to help spread the work around if you want your kids to help out as well. The idea is you do all the chores with a 1 in the box on the day specified and you can color, "x", check, whatever feels the best, in the box when it is done. Its meant to be a two page printout. Also, I filled in all the seasonal ones but really they only need to be done every few months so you may want to adjust those too. Hope it helps you with your spring cleaning!</span><br />

I just added a few things to mine such as a place to put the date for your personal journal entries section, different fonts, and some typography images that I love. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">In between these pages I have some other types of pages such as <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2013/07/maplocation-study-scripture-journal.html" target="_blank">maps</a>, <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2012/03/scripture-journal-character-analysis.html" target="_blank">character analysis'</a>s, <a href="http://www.mormoncharts.com/23/book-mormon-genealogy-charts/book-of-mormon-genealogy-chart/" target="_blank">genealogy charts</a>, pictures, etc. For example, I took the map you can download for free <a href="http://www.coloringpagekids.com/coloring-page.php?name=map_of_lehis_journey001_20110831" target="_blank">here</a>, added specific locations mentioned in the BOM using photoshop, printed it out, colored it in with colored pencils, wiped some Tim Holtz stain on it, wrinkled it all up and then sewed the path in red. I love it. Now as I am reading about each location I am adding some notes to it such as distances, duration of journeys, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I try to attach my favorite picture of that person. I look up scriptures where that person's name is mentioned, and as I go through the chapters write down anything I have learned from them. I do a search on lds.org and depending on the person, sometimes there are entire talks written about them.

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">This is a series of posts that I am sooo excited to share with you. I feel very passionate about it because it has CHANGED MY LIFE. I recently came across the idea of making scripture journals from Shannon at <a href="http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/category/scripture-study-2/scripture-journal-tips/">The Red Headed Hostess blog</a> and I have spent the last few months creating my own through trial and error. I want to share with you what I've done in hopes of helping you feel enthusiastic and excited about studying scriptures. It's no longer a chore for me. It's my favorite part of my day and I want it to be yours too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">It doesn't matter what religion you are. If you study the Bible, Book of Mormon, or any scripture you can apply this idea to your studying. The best part about this is that you can be as simple, straightforward, and logical as you want, or you can get as artsy and creative as you want. Wherever you are in the crafty spectrum and have time and patience for YOU CAN DO THIS. The important thing to remember is to make this yours. Do what works for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: large;">Why keep a scripture journal?</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Here are a few reasons:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"We often leave the most precious personal direction of the spirit unheard because we do not record and respond to the first promptings that come to us when the Lord chooses to direct us." -Elder Richard G. Scott</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"I've found, as I'm sure you have, that when you are trying to learn from the spirit, it's important to make a note so it will not be forgotten. The more you not only hear but abide by what you've been told, the more the Lord will give to you. It will come more and more rapidly and you will begin to hear and feel those impressions of the Spirit more quickly than you have previously done." -Elder Gene R. Cook</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">"The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside." -Elder Neal A. Maxwell</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">In the few short months that I have started my scripture journals, the knowledge that I have learned <b>and retained</b> is more than I have learned about in years of just reading a chapter a day (which is how I used to "study").</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">My main reason for doing scripture journals is to give them to my children as a family heirloom after I am gone or when they are old enough to appreciate them. As Shannon said (I'm paraphrasing)- it's a way to keep teaching my children after I am gone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I give full credit to Shannon <a href="http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/">at her blog</a> for this idea and I thank her for all the work she put into sharing her journals. I want to help spread the word to more readers because its worth sharing if it helps people grow spiritually.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">First you have to pick some journals. This is important. You want to find some that is the right size, enough to hold lots of information, will function the way you want it to, and look the way you want it to. If you plan to keep it simple, pick a lined journal that you can do lots of writing in that has thick pages so your ink won't bleed through. </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I planned to be more artsy and wanted to decorate my covers using scrapbooking supplies so I bought a coptic journal kit from Etsy. When it is all done I will bind it so that it will open and lay flat.</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: center;">This may be a little more extreme but for me this is my creative outlet so I needed a blank canvas. </span><b style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: center;">Any journal will work. </b><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; text-align: center;">The way I have mine set up is I have TWO journals. One that is for chapter by chapter study and another is for Topic based study. They can be referenced to each other.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Also get a good ballpoint pen that won't bleed through pages, or leave puddles of ink that will smudge and make a mess.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">OPTIONAL: Colored pencils, glue stick, scissors, scrapbooking supplies (paper, stickers) art supplies</span></li>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">This depends on you and your style. This is not a daily record of your personal thoughts like a diary. This is a record of what you have been learning during your scripture study. This means a record of quotes you want to remember, promptings, stories, talks, word definitions, scriptures you looked up, etc. I have created <a href="http://oneofakindgiftideas.blogspot.com/2008/05/one-of-kind-store.html" target="_blank">templates that you can download in the store</a> that are an easy way to get started quickly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I will post some additional tutorials and ideas on creating these journals. I highly recommend checking out the following sites for additional inspiration and tutorials:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/aimeewhite/scripture-journals-scripture-studying/" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Here is my pinboard</a><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"> that I keep for my scripture journals if you want to follow that. It lists sites, talks, quotes, etc. that I plan to put in my journal somehow or art supplies I plan to use.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/category/scripture-study-2/scripture-journal-tips/" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">The Red Headed Hostess</a><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">- she even has some journals you can purchase that are already set up and ready to go (I bought a set and they are really great for outlining how to study). She is the main source for all my inspiration so you should really check her site out. I want to be her when I grow up.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/56381857/Scripture-Journal-Ideas" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Here</a><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"> is a sheet you can download with some ideas from Dana Cockrum that was also taken from The Red Headed Hostess. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">I hope you find this as fun and uplifting as I do. Enjoy!</span><br />

The 6 of us sisters have been through a whirl wind this last year and unfortunately One of Kind suffered. Chalyse was busy pushing her oldest baby bird out of the nest and off to college. Krista and Lisa were busy moving and trying to get settled. Tara changed jobs and was going to school full time. Aimee had a baby and well, I had two babies. I want to start posting again and I hope to more regularly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Krista and I have had some fun this last year with a booth at Signs and Wonders Home Decor. We sell all sorts of handmade crafts. For Halloween I have been busy crocheting baby witch hats and candy corn hats.</span><br />
