NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls gift set review

Image
The NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls arrived in a nice gift box that you can keep this Bible in if you like. It is geared for girls ages 8-12 but I think even older girls-t eenagers would love to own this Bible!   The Bible is in the shade of teal with a hardcover but it is soft to the touch. It has 6 sheets of stickers which are perfect for applying inside of the Bible. I love that it has literally hundreds of illustrations that can be colored in with the colored pencils that were included. The margins are wide which are perfect for note taking and doodling.  Created especially for girls ages 8 to 12, this beautiful Bible, sticker sheets and coloring pencil set provides the tools for young artists to express themselves. Girls will get creative through coloring and journaling in the NIV Beautiful Word Coloring Bible for Girls. Included are pencils to color, blend and shade the detailed line art surrounding hundreds of inspiring verses. This Bible gift set is perfect for the

Review: Faith & Lettering Journal

Image
This is the final art journal to review by Ellie Claire Gifts and I saved the best for last! This was my favorite one! The Faith & Lettering Journal is a beauty! I love the cover for starters. It feels nice to hold, there are a few embellishments and the gold foil on the cover is so pretty. It also has a place on the spine to hold your pen or pencil. This one in particular helped me to take the time to meditate on the Scripture I was working on. I am not that creative of a person but knowing that my God is the Creator as mentioned in the book.."there is creativity in your DNA that you cannot deny." I like that because this will help me grow in my faith.  I love that there are Scriptures on a full page. They are so pretty! I love reading them! There are sections that say: 'begin here' and they have the Scripture done for you. Then, the next column says: 'trace' and you trace it. Then, the next one says,'your turn'. After that, there are

Review: 'The Illustrated Word' coloring journal

Image
The next journal for review is ' The Illustrated Word': An Illuminated Bible Coloring Journal . It is a hardcover with a pretty design on the front.This journal does not come with a bookmark or a place for your keepsakes.  Inside of the journal, there are full color illustrations from the Museum of the Bible in the corners of the pages. At the bottom, there is brief some brief information about that illustration. There are pages to be colored that have those images. So, you can use the same colors or make it your own. The pages have a nice thickness to them. Overall, personally, I do not like the art style shown inside this particular book. It is the partial illustrations in the corners of the pages that I wish weren't in this. I will post a few pictures of those images soon.  I like the Scripture coloring pages. I really wish there were more Bible verse coloring pages in this book. To me, when it is called, The Illustrated Word, that means that it shou

Review: Art Journal 'Illuminate Your Story'

Image
I will be reviewing 3 art journals by Ellie Claire Gifts in 3 separate posts! The first one is called 'Illuminate Your Story' . It is a beautiful hardcover with some foil in the design along with a couple of embellishments on the cover. On the spine, it has a pen loop to hold your pen. It also includes a bookmark to hold your spot in place. In the back of the book, there is a pocket that says, 'Keepsakes'. You can put letters and photos in there. Maybe even some washi tape strips or stickers to add onto your pages.  I do like the art style in the book. Throughout the pages, you'll see how to draw the letter shapes, flourishes, and some animals. You will also see Bible quotes and other quotes at the top of the pages. Included in the middle of some of the lettering pages are facts such as this one: " Peacocks were used in early Christian art because they symbolized immortality and resurrection ."  I tried my hand at some of the lettering and i

Review: Dream Catcher

Image
  I've never owned a Dream Catcher before but when I saw this, I wanted to get it. It's so pretty. The feathers are purple and blue. Around the holes are teal and purple beads. There are also white, clear and mint green beads as well. The web is held together by a brown leather circle. I love these colors and this is made quite well. I have had no problems with it.    The perfect place to hang this is somewhere the light comes into. The feathers are purple and So, the 'legend' of a dream catcher is that 'Nightmares pass through the holes and out of the window, the good dreams are trapped in the web and slide down the feathers to the sleeping person.' I love this decoration and recommend it to others. You can make a purchase here: Dream Catcher .  Disclaimer: I received this product at a discount. This is my honest and unbiased review.
