Temporary Tattoos

I love temporary tattoos, and have often thought of making my own. When I had the chance to be a vendor at my church's Mission India Bazaar Night, I took the opportunity to finally make some!

To make the tattoos, all I needed was temporary tattoo paper and my inkjet printer. Make your own Little Seed tattoos with this free download!

DIY: Bible Reading Chart

I recently came across a free bible reading chart by Hannah Shim Designs, and it immediately caught my eye. I have seen bible reading schedules and charts before (that are usually large posters), but this handy chart is a wonderfully simple way to mark your progress on your bible reading. Loving the scan tron design, and if you fold it in fours, it makes a great bookmark!

I guess I got pretty excited about this, because I immediately printed out eight copies and tied them up with some gift tags to give to my bible study students this Easter Sunday :) Check out more of Hannah's DIY projects at thethingshannahloves.blogspot.com!

DIY: Washi Tape Q.T. Journals

Had the opportunity to make some Q.T. journals with some of my girls over the weekend. A Q.T. (quiet time) journal is for collecting your thoughts during your "quiet" or meditative time reading and studying God's Word. Since Q.T. journals can become very personal, we decided to personalize them from the very start!

Supplies:
• Moleskin Cahier Notebook
• A variety of washi tape
• Scissors
• Stickers or other decorative elements
• A Q.T. guide print out (optional)

1. Began by layering different types of washi tape on both sides of the journal cover

2. Printed and cut "Quiet Time Guides" - Available for download here 

3. Taped the "Quiet Time Guide" onto the inside cover of the journal

4. Finished off by trimming the edges and decorating with sticker initials, etc.

DIY: Hand Carved Rocco Stamp

I have been wanting to make a hand carved stamp for a while...and I finally got around to it! It was one of those "I HAVE to make something now!" impulses, and I'm glad I followed it using this tutorial.

Supplies used:
• Staedtler Mastercarve Artist Carving Block
• Speedball Linoleum Cutters
• X-Acto Knife
• Pencil
• Ink Pad

Here is my attempt at carving out Rocco:

The process didn't take as long as I thought it would (about an hour?), or maybe I didn't notice the time passing by :) Check out this crazy hand carved feather stamp tutorial:
