Rooted — Jeremiah 17 Scripture Art {Half Price Tuesday + Behind the Scenes with Life Verse Design}

Jer17S_900

{Art available HERE}

I know I’ve told all of you before how obsessed I am with trees. Branches, leaves, roots, blossoms… I love it all. In college I kept a pile of branches under my bunk which I would use to sew sticks as frames to my paintings and I also had books full of leaves being pressed which I would collage into my art.

 

These roots I photographed in Colorado while on our first family camping trip. LOVE!

I love how in God’s Word there are so many tree/leaf/fruit analogies we can learn from and grow in. This promise in Jeremiah is so powerful. It is essentially saying anyone who trusts in the Lord will be like a peaceful tree full of life.

 

In the last month, the theme of roots has repeatedly come up in my personal life and that is why I have chosen this verse to be half price today.

 

I recently went on a field trip with my daughter’s first grade class {in which they dressed me up as a flower btw!} & we went to the forest to study plants. Our first station was dissecting acorns & I had never realized how cool it is that the roots begin to grow RIGHT AWAY & they are soooo tiny {hairlike really} & yet SO STRONG! Roots are the source of nutrients thus bringing about life. When your roots are strong, you are strong. When roots are cut or broken or diseased, the entire plant/tree/life will be effected also.

A week after the field trip, we had a little sewage back up in our basement. {YUCK!} It turns out roots were in the pipes… did you realize tree roots are so strong that they can grow through metal pipes?! That is just crazy to me. A root literally starts as fine as hairs & grow so thick and strong they can effect pipes and foundations.

 

In any case, roots are important. So it got me thinking:

What is my life rooted in? What are my desires rooted in? What are my motives rooted in? What are my words rooted in? What are my actions rooted in? What is my self-esteem rooted in?

Of course, my desire is to be firmly rooted in Jesus Christ, but honestly so often I am rooted in selfishness and pride {me, me, me}.

I challenge you to take a look at the different areas of your life & think about what are YOU truly rooted in?

Then think through how you can grow your roots to be healthy & strong & bear fruit.

 

Today only I am offering the Jeremiah 17 8×10 print HALF PRICE!

Just head on over to my Facebook page & leave a comment if you would like one & I will bill you.

Chosen — Adoption Keepsake Gift {Half Price Tuesday}

2014-11-04_0001

{Art available HERE}

I am blessed in my life to be surrounded with friends who have adopted. They have taught me so much and it is a joy to get to know their families. I originally created this art for my friend as a sort of “welcome home baby” gift for her son when they arrived from the Congo. I will always remember this photo shoot in the yard next to their apartment with big brother running around wild with my kiddos. So fun! Their bare feet intertwined is so sweet and tender. It has turned out to be one of my most popular adoption keepsakes.

 

Skip ahead several years now and the other night I am browsing Facebook & up pops a post showing the cover for Every Bitter Thing is Sweet. It stops me in my tracks. What a BEAUTIFUL cover {if only I had designed it! Ha!} One click led to another & I am totally engrossed in Sara Hagerty’s blog. This article she recently wrote especially resonated with my heart. I highly suggest you read it.

So, what do I decide to do, but write to her to tell her how much her writing has touched me, how we would totally be friends {as clearly we have a thing for honey laden covers}, and offer to give her some of my adoption themed art. {Hey, what do I have to lose?!}

 

Guess what?! She wrote me back & the art is on it’s way to her home! Yeah! I love how I can bless others in such small ways.

It’s HERE! Sunshine Studio Line is released with a GRAND OPENING SALE {& I am so excited!}

Introducing Sunshine Studio

{inspirational art to warm your soul}

I am SO EXCITED to introduce to you my latest line of inspirational art, which I have named Sunshine Studio. A little different in style from my other Life Verse Design work you say? Why, yes! Since February I have been getting back to my roots of illustrating and have been enjoying every moment. I have been drawing, painting, and collaging ever since childhood and this new collection of art reflects that whimsical, childhood spirit.

 

I began with the baby & child collection as I feel it’s so important to surround your children with truth & encouraging words. In researching Christian/Religious/Biblical decor for kids, I noticed most of it {including my own} is simply typographically designed text and not illustrative works of art that are contemporary and sweet for a kid’s room. Bottom line is this new collection is inspired by my own childhood as well as my 3 kiddos and I wanted to create fun, colorful, and meaningful art for kids to enjoy day after day. {See more in the shop!}

ETSY_BANNER_SunshineStudio_WEB

In fact, I named my new line Sunshine Studio for 2 reasons:

1. The influence of my Sunshine Girl, my light hearted, fun, and bright girl

2. I want my art to shine the light of Christ into your heart & warm your soulKitchenArt_WEB

{Kitchen Inspirational Art available HERE}

I have also added art for the kitchen, since, you know, much of our life is spent in the kitchen & I want people to wake up & start their day reading God’s Word so they are grounded in truth for the day. The pumpkin {Give Thanks} piece is ready just in time for Thanksgiving. I love the warm and rich color schemes of these. Makes me think of autumn!

 

TO CELEBRATE MY NEW LINE I AM HAVING A GRAND OPENING SALE!

 

In the new Sunshine Studio shop now thru October 19th, you can enjoy a Buy ONE Get ONE FREE Sale on any fine art print. {please note: canvases are not included}

 

At checkout, simply write in the name of the free piece of art you would like to receive in the NOTES TO SELLER {do not place the free art in your cart: there is no coupon code}.

 

I hope this new collection truly warms your heart!

 

Grace & Peace,

Julie

Faithful & Loving {Half Price Tuesday + Behind the Scenes with Life Verse Design}

Psalm145Leaf_900_WEB

{Faithful & Loving : Psalm 145 art available HERE}

TODAY ONLY the 8×10 fine art print is HALF PRICE over on my Facebook page! 

I will never forget driving home from our first big family outdoor adventure to Rocky Mountain National Park and scouring the Psalms looking for Scriptures to pair with some majestic photos I had just taken in the mountains, and coming across this little verse. For you see, this verse is not in all Bible translations. {I grew up on the NASB version & this “part b” of verse 13 is not included … nor is it in the KJV or NKJV sad to say.} I was reading my hubby’s NIV Bible & there it was, one of the most beautiful statements in all of Scripture showing God’s faithful & loving character.

I knew immediately what image would pair perfectly with this verse & it was the tender, gentle, and intricate Aspen leaf. The leaves are full of life, just like God’s promises. They are tender & delicate, just like God’s promises. They are intricately woven & in each & every leaf are so many details, just like God’s promises for YOUR life. Walking through that Aspen forest was magical. I will never forget how they shimmered and moved in the gentle breeze. God’s promises are sometimes a gentle whisper to our soul & other times strong & mighty like the mountains surrounding these trees.

What promise of God are you clinging to today?

I hope you feel His deep love for you today.

Grace & Peace,

Julie
