DIY Tie Dye Notebook with Quote

 Hey guys I had  a really fun time doing the notebooks so I made a few more. Here is a tutorial for another notebook.

Grab a composition notebook and tape up the binding with any old masking/painters tape.

Then grab a large brush and some white paint to create a nice white base.

You will need several coats paint so it looks like this

Before the last coat drys rip up that painters tape.

 Then what I do next is go on Google Drive or whatever document you have on you computer and type out a quote on a sheet of paper then I cut it with a paper cuter write around the words. The quote I chose was 'Don't try to comprehend with your mind, minds are very limited. Try imagination." So you have to print it like this;


                                           DON'T TRY TO COMPREHEND WITH YOUR MIND,



                                                       OUR MINDS ARE VERY LIMITED



                                                              TRY IMAGINATION.

Make plenty of spaces between the word in you quote. Make sure you cut your quote with plenty for space when you make it.



 Place one of your quote clippings in a sink or on a Styrofoam plate.

I forgot to take picture of this but get three different blobs of paint that can blind well with each other and add a little bit of water.

Then stir till the pigments is evenly distributed in the water.

Do this with the other two colors

Grab one of your paint and water mixture and the paper clipping on the plate

Pour your color of choose onto the clipping, be sparing it should look something like this.

You can also pour a bit on the plate and lay it face down on the blob of awesome.

It will look like this.

Dip or pour the rest of the clippings to look some thing likwe this and lay them out to dry. ( if you want it to go quicker, you can grab a hair dryer and blow dry them on low with a warm or cool heat setting.)

Get the same paints as you used earlier for the water/paint mixtures. (You don't need white paint.)

( The next step works best if the white base coat is still a bit wet so if completely dry add a thin coat of white to dry for maybe 5 minutes) Add another strip of painters tape to the book and Then make a squiggle line with your paint of chose and fill in the corner you created repeat all over notebook  alternating colors and move to next step with out letting dry. Also don't worry about the appearance you painting.

 Now take your finger in a circular motion to smear paint and create a tie dye affect. Take off the painters tape from the binding 

 (By the way, if you where wondering, I am doing another quote be cause I forgot about taking the rest of the pictures when I was do in the front so I have a different quote for the back but it with be the same instructions.)

Get your dried clipping and figure out where you want them on the cover. If you want to paint around the quote like in the picture near the bottom do this now. I just used a pencil to make a rectangle about a half an inch bigger all around the clipping them took away the clipping a messily filled in the rectangles the let ththem to dry.

Then put glue on the back of the clippings and place them where you want on the notebook. (Or in the white rectangles.)

Then put stripes of glue over the clippings, and use a large brush to spread the glue thinly over the paper clippings.

Then add more stripes of Elmer's glue on the rest on the rest of the cover,
spread it out as well. Let it dry and your journal is done!

This is what it looks like when you put white rectangles around it.

This what it looks with out.

I hope everyone enjoys this post. 

Here's an updated picture of my precious nephew!!!!!

Becoming Numb to Sin

We, as Christians, are increasingly becoming numbed to sin in this world.  We find it everywhere we can look.

On TV we see so many sinful acts and sinful language. Commercials are addressed to the "gotta-have-it" natures of us as humans in this world. Society addresses love as a momentary thing. We hear people falling in love, then moving on to the next love.  How often do we shy from all of this?

As a kid, if you had siblings or a relative that you admired strongly, you would start to mold your self to be like them. Say what they say, like what they like you try to be like THEM. You can even do this unconsciously too!

We are putting ourselves in the perfect place to change our mind set on things that we as Christians know is sinful and wrong.

Psalms 14 "Fools say to themselves 'there is no God.' These fools are evil and do terrible things; there is no that does any good. But all have turned away. Together everyone has become evil. There is no one that does any good. Don't the wicked understand? They destroy my people as if they were eating bread. They do not seek the Lord. But the wicked are filled with terror, because the God is with those who do right. The wicked upset the plans of the poor, but the Lord will protect them. I pray that victory will come to Israel from Mount Zion may the people of Jacob rejoice,  and the people of Israel will be glad!"

We need to break away from the loop and from the sinful things that have turned God's people numb to sin.


I hope all of you have awesome Mondays! Until later!  <3

Happy Halloween!!

Hi guys! Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a good one! My big sister Amber, just got her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. So we didn't make any big plans. But I might Trick or Treat with a friend of mine tonight.  I'm dressing up as a bumble bee here's a pic.

THAT. WAS. AWESOME!!!! Until later! 

Cat Notebook

I made this adorable cat notebook and I love it dearly! I hope you all have as much fun making it as I did!

You will need:

Black, gold metallic, and white acrylic paints

A composition notebook

A large paintbrush 

A tiny paintbrush 

A pencil with a eraser

and a ruler 

First grab you large brush and paint your whole composition notebook black and let it dry. 

  It will take quite a few coats to get a good coverage. (Make sure you paint the back cover too.)

 Take a pencil and sketch a simple cat. Make it look as close to this as possible. (You can add more fur in the drawing, it added it in the painting process.)

Then get a really, really tiny brush that looks like this.

Then grab the white paint and brush.

 Run it over the sketch you already made. Now let it dry and erase any unwanted pencil lines them and sketch on some hipster glasses.

Then grab a little dab of gold metallic paint.

Then use the tiny brush and metallic paint to create these super awesome gold hipster glasses.

  

Now grab a pencil and ruler, and make a pencil line across the front like in the picture below.

Use the thick brush and fill in the rectangle that you make with the pencil line with the same metallic paint as glasses.

Let dry and add one or two more coat depending on you paint.

(Quick tip: use small brush strokes near pencil line and binding.)

  

This is what it looks like when done add more if you like but I really love this book and it cost me only the notebook which if you buy around back to school time you can get for SUPER cheap! 

Until later! Happy Wednesday! 

Have a Happy Monday!

It struck me this morning while feeding my sweet little kitten how similar the relationship with God and us is similar to the relationship of  our pets. When we are hungry for the word and for God we will cry out to him and prayer just as my little kitten cries out to me mournfully for her food and or water when her bowl is empty.

In Philippians 4:19 the Bible says; 'And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Jesus Christ.'

God will never leave us, we just have to cry out! We have to ask for help because we can't do things by ourselves.

Thank you guys for reading, I hope you enjoyed this short post, and the picture of Rigby!




When I put Rigby's bowl where it is supposed to be and she jumped in between the box I was taking pictures on and the window and jumped into the hollow inside like she was mad at me! :D (The box is like her little house.)

 I look out side today and wad astonished at all the leaves that had fallen off the trees just this month!
