For some people, scriptures are an important part of their lives...reading them at least 10 minutes every day. For me and my husband, scriptures have only recently become a part of our lives, reading stories and scriptures as I need to learn something. A few set of scriptures have started to help me a lot, those are the ones which I wanted to showcase...I have this page above my head on my computer desk in a small easel, so I am able to read it each day. I decided to do this page as a framed page, so I could also frame it when I was done with it, or wanted to have another scripture showcased. One idea, make one of my special "mini albums" in a 6 x 6 format in your favorite color, and put down all of your favorite scriptures or stories in.
I chose Ecclesiastes 3: 1-9 as the scriptures I needed to focus on, for me...it is to remind me there is a time for everything, and that time is not MY time, it is God's time. This is one thing I have had to learn, especially dealing with my past. This is the top portion of the 12 x 12 layout, I wanted to focus on the scripture, not the embellishments.
I used a 12 x 12 format, using colors for the scripture and matt out of colors in the background paper. I used my corner rounder for the matt's, with a decorative corner rounder used for the scripture page itself. This was added to the top portion of the layout.
For the bottom of the page, I used simple Sizzix die cut flowers in two different sizes and colors to add interest. I used decorative brads for the middle of the page, allowing the flowers to be able to move. This is where you can look at YOUR needs...do you need to keep this out to remind you, I know I do! I won't claim to be perfect, or by any means a religious person. I do believe in God...and hope that this year, my quest for PEACE will lead me to the right place when I am reading the scriptures. I will be keeping track of the scriptures I like, some framed pages, some in my 6 x 6 album! Join me this year while I start to read the scriptures, and find those that truly help me!
