+Joe Cassada Thank you Joe. I hope so to. Blessings to you!

Thank you Penny for your encouraging words!

Thank you Janet. I really appreciate what you said. Blessings!

+Joyce Thomas Thank you Joyce. God bless you as you journal!

+Valerie Sjodin Thank You

Thank you Zanet. I think talent is over-rated. So much can be learned and I'm sure you are if you are Bible journaling too. You may be interested in a new Bible Journaling e-course I am teaching. We will be using stencils and then making them not look like stencils, so one doesn't need to know how to draw to make beautiful Bible pages. I'll be posting on my blog about it soon. valeriesjodin.com

+Bliss7issolitude Thank you. Blessings to you!

+Rosy Rincon Oh good Rosy. I am so glad you have found this helpful.

Thank you. That is so kind of you. God bless you!

Thank you Joi. Blessings to you as you journal!

Thank you Teresa. I'm happy you have found the use of deli paper. It is one of my papers I constantly use.

Thank you Lacresha. God bless you!

Thank you Margaret. Blessings,

+Debbie Gilbert Thank you Debbie. I hope it works well for you :)

Thank you. It's good to know I'm in good company. :)

Thank you Bertha!

Not sad at all. Doodling has been proven to help people listen better. I'd say go for it and get a journaling Bible with space to draw, doodle and write as the Spirit leads. Blessings to you as you step out into more inspired creativity.

Thanks! I ordered "My Creative Bible" the Pink version from Amazon last week and it's due to come in on June the 2nd. I can't wait! :)

Thank you Tina! God bless you!

+encouraginghope Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad this video is helpful to you!

Kraaft Shaak Thank you. Here is a blog post address where I tell about my word study process: visualblessings.blogspot.com/2015/01/going-deeper-from-study-to-experience.html. You may want to check out my "Lettering & Doodling Hope" online class on my website for how-to lettering. I have another RU-vid video on a lettering technique too.

hello, where did you get the sticky tags you take off the pages when you get to the page, I'm Australia

Thank you Alice! I'm glad you are enjoying the coloring books. Blessings of joy and creativity to you as you color!

I'm so glad! Thank you!

+Rose McGuinn: By Deli paper do you mean "waxed paper"?

Nancy Ruth Glad you've asked! This is a new subject for me, one that's fun! Deli paper is a form of waxed paper, but it is not as waxy as regular waxed paper. It's used mostly in delicatessens for the wrapping of sandwiches and such like in the States. It comes in oddly cut, squarish single sheets, all folded up neatly in fitted boxes with dispensing lids or facial tissue box-style openings for easy access. One side of each sheet generally has more wax to it than the other. The less waxy side takes Gelli printing using acrylic paint quite well. These sheets are semi transparent, and may be collaged. The frugal crafter, Lindsay Weirich at RU-vid has a tutorial about how to make one's own gel style monoprint block. (frugalcrafter at RU-vid to find her.) The thinness of each Deli paper sheet means that more layers may be used inside of tightly fitting places such as within books. They are also less delicate than regular tissue paper (wrapping style tissue) and so hold up to gluing a bit better. Shel C at RU-vid also has recently added a brilliant new octopus collage to her video roster. In that video, she shows one of the ways of using Deli Paper in collage making. I've seen some people make their own washi tape using Deli Paper and Score tape. I myself have recently experimented with stamping on some sheets. That's over at my Rose's Art Garden blog. Hope I haven't overwhelmed you with too much enthusiasm about the stuff! :)

+Debbie Williams I hope it works well for you Debbie. Sometimes there is a little wrinkling, but mostly smooth.

Thank you Debbie! Blessings to you!

kelly barron Thank you Kelly. When I say painted, I refer to painting with fluid acrylics. I use both pencils and paint on some of the pages. I talk more about the paints in the blog post linked to in the description of this video.

Thank you Deborah. Yes, try!

Thank you LisaMarie!

Great! Blessings as you create in your Bible!

You could totally do that! A great idea. Go for it! Let those ideas come out. Cheers to your creativity!

+Kathy Fann Thank you Kathy.

Thank you. It is my personal writing

Thank you for checking up on me. Currently (June 2017) I am filming some Bible journaling processes using stencils I designed for Bible Journaling produced by StencilGirl© Products. We are working on getting them out in the next few months along with an online Bible Journaling class.

+Lynn Williams I've not used the deli paper made for scrapbooking, but it sounds like it would be worth a try. I talk further about the types of deli paper I've used on the blog post linked to in the text below the video

+Tina Hanel You're welcome Tina. Thank you!

Lynn Shokoples Thank you Lynn. I haven't tried parchment paper. Deli paper/sandwich wrap is different. I have a paragraph about Deli paper in the blog post listed with this video.

Valerie Sjodin I'm still amazed and watching your video again! Do you prep your deli paper with anything? I am heading over to your blog now..

Lynn Shokoples Lynn, the prep for deli paper is like any other surface. It ranges from no prep, matte medium, glazing liquid, or gesso. Very versatile.

The paint I use are fluid acrylics. I use Golden brand or DecoArt Media. Many of the colors have a transparent base instead of a white base which is why they are more luminous.

Thank you Valerie

Debra G the paper she used is translucent so it's still readable

+tascha piatt I draw very lightly on top of the glazing liquid, so I don't have trouble with the pencil erasing. I think if there is too much graphite on the surface, it may smear and turn the surface gray, but I haven't actually had that happen.

Thank you!

Thank you Kelly!

Joanne, Thank you. I don't put any medium over my colored pencils and I haven't had the fade or smear trouble. I use Prismacolors and often use a colorless blender pencil so the color gets more into the fiber of the paper.

I do have some more videos about some of the process especially a Bible Journaling e-course just launched November of 2017. You can see and find out more on my website: valeriesjodin.com/e-courses/

+jeanheming It sounds like you have tried some things that work well for you. That is great! I am using satin. There is not any shine on my Bible pages.

Thank you Alexis. Blessings to you :)

+Sue Gordon I use an acid free glue stick or Yes paste for larger pieces

Thank you!

Hi Catherine, there are many possible answers to that question. Of course there is RU-vid videos and classes. Honestly, I started as a young adult when my kids were little. I wanted to draw them. We were so strapped for money, but I asked for drawing lessons for gifts and either my husband watched the kids or I traded babysitting. Then I joined a local art group that met once a month, shared ideas and helpful critiques. Blessings as you discover your artist within...

Thank you. Yes, since this video I have also used some clear gesso Art Basics brand. It works very well. I still use glazing liquid too, which can be as a base like the gesso, but it dries slower. The glazing liquid works very well if you want to extend the flow or drying time of the acrylic paint to make a soft edge. If I had to use just one product it would be the glazing liquid, but I use both. The Art Basics clear gesso works very well. I did not like the result of Liquitex clear gesso, and am going to try Dina Wakely's clear gesso next.

It still wants to curl even after some ironing but I found it flattens out more over time as the Bible is closed.

Thank you. I taught myself calligraphy through library books and videos. For me lettering is like drawing or doodling, so it intrigues me. If you go to the blogpost under the description, it tells about deli paper and the materials I've used etc. I bought that deli paper at our local Cash & Carry store.

Thank you! God bless you as well :)

+Grace George Hi Grace, The gold paint is iridecscent gold bright made by Golden.

+Tammy Dameron (Southern Angels Boutique) I think tracing paper would work. It is certainly worth a try. Have fun experimenting!

+Valerie Sjodin Thank you I will have to give it a try! Have a blessed day :)

I painted it with Golden Iridescent Bright Gold paint and a small round brush. Also spattered with a toothbrush

Thank you Tina!

I found your supplies on your blog :)

AWESOME :)

You're welcome. Thanks

+Grace George Grace, I used the Liquitex clear gesso and didn't like it because of the gritty texture. I haven't used Dina Wakely's clear gesso, but I have seen some lovely pages done with that. I like the acrylic glazing because it nicely seals the surface of the page with a smooth finish and I can also use it with the paint as transparent glazing.

+PrincessYesi1972 Please visit my blog. The January 20, 2016 post talks exactly about that.

Thank you Gaynell :)

+PamelyB I do not have a tutorial at this time for that page. I appreciate your feedback. As I work on my current projects, I'm considering what God has for me next. Hopefully it will include some video tutorials. Blessings.

The media which gives the least ghosting is colored pencil and dry Gelatos.

I've experimented and have found some ways to lesson the ghosting with wet media. I go over this in my online course: Bible Journaling with Stencils & More valeriesjodin.com/e-courses/
