let’s count it all joy
welcome!
It’s August! LIGHT is all around us. And - your “Count It All Joy” mailer has arrived!
More than anything, I would love for you to USE the goods from this mailer - to weave them into your projects and your personal devotions, to add color to your spaces, and gift them to others.
Feel free to “copy” me, use my work as an inspiration to create a “spin-off” project, or go your very own way.
on this special “subscribers only” page, you will find:
Links to videos on the inspiration behind this collection and on the ways I’ve used the products in this month’s mailer.
Some additional (related) quotes.
Images showcasing the ways I used the products.
Links to all supporting supplies that I used (sketchbooks, frames, art supplies, etc.). Please note that many, but not all of the supply links are affiliate links.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine. -Dwight L Moody
There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. -Edith Wharton
The fundamental principle of Christianity is to be what God is, and he is light. - John Hagee
The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness. -Robert Murray McCheyne
To the one who delights in the sovereignty of God the clouds not only have a 'silver lining' but they are silver all through, the darkness only serving to offset the light! -A.W. Pink
Glory in Christ and you can bask in His light forever. -Woodrow Kroll

SUPPLIES I USED alongside THIS MONTH’S MAILER CONTENTS
Frames/Matting:
Mat for 5x7 artwork (similar - as I bought mine in a pack of 50)
Art Journals:
“Soho Urban Artist Sketch Kraft” notebook
Travelers notebook insert (dot grid)
“Cachet Classic” ecru wirebound sketchbook
Paint:
I typically use “heavy body acrylic” paints in my art practice and particularly like Golden and Utrecht. Since I have these readily on hand, I also use them in my art journals. When I want to thin my paints, I use this flow improver, but water also works well!
Any sort of “craft paint” like this also works well in art journals.
