Remember and have joy

Today I'm sharing the latest page in my joy journal (joy being my one word for 2014).  I'm working my way through a booklet on joy.  Its an Every Day With Jesus by Selwyn Hughes and I've already learnt a lot about joy.  This page is on remembering the great things God has done for us.  When we remember, we can't help but have joy. 


I was in the mood for purple for this page - don't ask me why :)  Its not a colour I use much so I don't have a purple acrylic.  I splodged some red and blue acrylic on the page and brushed it around so I got different shades from red through purple to blue.  It was a bit darker than I wanted so I sprayed some Cosmic Shimmer Sunlight Mist and I love the effect.  I used two stamps only, Hero Arts Leaf Flourish and Kaisercraft Sheet Music:


 

I just love this effect, sort of celestial!


 I added some home made texture paste (recipe below) through a stencil, The Crafters Workshop Fleur de Lis and added the title:



and what Selwyn Hughes had to say about remembering:


The home made texture paste is simple to make.  Just mix 1 part white acrylic paint, 1 part talc and 1/2 part pva glue and mix thoroughly.  It keeps well in an air tight container like a jam jar or plastic tub.  I found this on you tube and you can see it here

I love this texture paste, so easy to make:


Of course the idea is not to learn all about joy but also to have and to keep joy no matter what happens :)

Have a joy filled day.
