Scrapping Bible Verses

It all started with a Tiger Lily who was scared to fall asleep. So we read Philippians 4:6-8, and this calmed her. It lasted a few days before she needed to be reminded.

So I thought perhaps if we handled and spent lots of time looking at the words, working with them, they might stick a little better. She is in progress with several pages on which she'll be able to make lists of things related to those verses--"whatever is good, whatever is true [and so forth]....let your mind dwell on these things."



I guess it's not surprising that Banana and Mr. Boo got in on it. Spazz is too cool for this sort of thing, but he's at the table working on sketches alongside our juvenile girly stuff.


I've done a few from my studies (some notes on Philippians through the Galatians lens here in my grownup space), just for fun, and also done some layouts for the kids to use if they don't want to go from scratch.





I found some great sites that graciously offer a wide range of free graphics (personal use only), in addition to purchasable items for serious scrappers.

Webweaver has a variety of web/digital scrap-worthy graphics. These are great for homeschooling due to their variety.

Cute Colors has fabulous children's style items for personal use in scrapbooking, as well as for-sale items. My favourite thing was finding ethnically representative graphics of adorable little kids.

HeavenGraphics.com has the most amazing scrapbook papers, among many other things. There's a whole list down the right side of the page.

The purchasable items from these places are inexpensive and beautiful. I (and my kids) are extremely grateful to the folks who have put in the work to make these available to us. With any luck, we'll soon have Tiger Lily settling in to sleep in complete peace of mind.

Interestingly, it took Spazz (13yo boy) till about, oh, lunchtime to decide he wasn't really too cool for scrapping. He appointed himself the layout designer for the little kids. :~)
