Tag Memory Verse Books


I'm always looking for great new ways to learn and memorize Scripture. Numbers are definitely not my thing, so I can often remember the book a verse is in, but the chapter and verse often elude me. That's why having a way to carry Scripture around with me is such a great idea.


This double-sided tag book holds many of the verses that I love and would like to have committed to memory. The fact that they're pretty and colorful helps, too.


To make my tags, I started with one of my favorite stamps - a giant tag. I stamped on card stock and cut out around it. If you don't have prepackaged tags or a stamp like this, just cut out a large rectangle and snip off the top two corners.


Choose several of your favorite colors or see how much of the rainbow you have. This is a great way to use up all those scraps of paper you've been holding on to. Then use your tag template to cut them out.


Do the same with coordinating decorator paper. Did I mention that this is a great way to use up all those scraps you've been holding on to? Just making sure.


When you're done you'll have several pretty tag pairs.


Tear the patterned tag diagonally so there will be some color and some pattern showing. Adhere it to the tag.


Now flip it over and tear a small strip off the remaining patterned paper, then adhere. This way you will use almost the entire piece of decorator tag.


You can print out your verses, copy them straight out of your Bible on your copier/printer or write them by hand.


Mat them on coordinating card stock if you'd like, as this will make them stand out a little more.


 All that's left is to punch a hole in the top and slide them onto a book ring. Now you're ready to immerse yourself in Scripture memorization anywhere you are.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
