Treasured Reviews and Giveaways

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

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

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
