Receive The Savior

{jane bosi}  Happy Holidays, Sweet Friends!!  Today, I'm stepping away from my bible journaling and sharing a project I created to bring the pages of the gospel right to my fire place mantle.  I created this 6x6 reverse canvas to feature the image of the Holy Family found in the Receive the Savior stamp set. 

I've been wanting to try my hand at the reverse canvas for awhile.  It was so super easy---I can't wait to make more!  I love working on mixed media projects.  The great thing is how they just sort of unfold--kind of like life.  For this canvas, I used a variety of ink sprays, white paint, metallic texture paste, a stencil, gel medium and some random goodies laying around the Studio that sparkle and shine (it's super sparkly in real life!!). "Merry Christmas" is a wood piece I found in the dollar zone last year; mixed media makes a case for hoarding, for sure!

As we move into December, keep in mind the real reason for the season and be sure to take time to enjoy the greatest gift of all!

Blessings, Jane

Behold, The New Has Come!

Happy New Year Sweet N Sassy friends! 

My Bible journal page for today required a lot of layers so I was a leery of going directly into my Bible with it; therefore, I created a vellum insert. It is fairly simple. The year (in a fun way) and the verse I wanted to concentrate on...

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

This seemed a fitting verse for a New Year...this is a new beginning with all the potential in the world. I didn't make any resolutions, but I do want to be a better listener this year. I have many things I have been praying for and this year, I need to "listen" for the answer. I am excited and anxious, but I know that God has a plan for me and, if I listen to Him and not try to go my own way, it will be revealed.

Recipe:

• Stamps: Numbers - I've Got Your Number Clear Stamp; Scripture - Classy Script Alpha Clear Stamp Set; Background Star - Receive the Savior
• Ink: Distress (Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers) Stazon Black, VersaMark and Clear embossing powder

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful NEW Year, and I hope that you "hear" the answers to your prayers this year too!

Hope Has Come

{jane bosi}  Happy Monday, Sweet Friends!

A great way to start any day or week, for that matter, is to spend some time in the Word.  Today, I'm sharing from the very beginning of the New Testament, in Matthew.

While I realize we have just started to see the leaves change and fall, I'm already thinking about the birth of our Savior and celebrating this years' holidays!

To complete my page, I started by sponging some distress ink in one corner.  The main image is from Receive the Savior--such a precious image!  It's colored with a combination of distress and spectrum aqua markers.   Finally, I used several other sets:  Seek Him, Classy Script Alphabet, and All Your Heart. 

Seek Him with All Your Heart--Jane
