I wrote the verse from Ephesians 5:31 on our wedding page. It seemed like it fit with the verse about Johnathan and David, because they loved each other as they loved themselves, and isn't that what a husband and wife do, as well?

Day 258: Precious Moments Journaling
Today I punched out some paper hearts to use as a background for my journaling. I wanted to tell a bit of the story about my husband's grandmother encouraging us to go to Precious Moments, and I needed to fill in some empty spaces on the page. I chose the hearts because they represent love and I used three on a side to symbolize the three of us. I wrote down the verse from 1 Samuel 18:3 on the page about the chapel because Precious Moments was originally named Jonathan and David, and I wanted to remember that.

Day 257: Precious Moments Continued
Today I added the "Precious Moments" title to the left hand page of the spread. I added some Precious Moments wedding stickers to the pages. I also used Jolee's pearls on the flowers and wedding bells to add dimension.

Day 256: Precious Moments Chapel
When we first started dating, my husband's grandmother really wanted my husband to bring me to the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, Missouri. We both loved it so much, we got married at the Wedding Chapel there. (For those who have never been there, these are two different chapels. The Wedding Chapel, sadly, is no longer available for use.) I decided I wanted a page in my Faith Book about her wish. I also wanted to add a page about our wedding at the Precious Moments Wedding Chapel. Since the Precious Moments colors tend to be very pastel in nature, I chose papers from a line by Tim Coffey as my backgrounds. I fussy cut some flowers and an oval from one paper and used pop dots to add dimension to a duplicate paper for a page for our wedding photo. I arranged my photos on the page about my husband's grandmother and cut out letters from the "Curlie Girlie" alphabet dies on my Big Shot machine for the title. ("Curlie Girlie" dies and Big Shot by Sizzix) I will work more on these tomorrow.

Day 251: Pictures and Papers for My Faith Book
The next pages I want to add to my Faith Book are about the births of my children. I found some pictures of the kids when they were newborn, and went through my stash of papers to see what would work for their pages.
I struggled at first with the lack of faith-based papers available in my local stores. I looked at some papers on the internet, but a lot of them are for milestones like baptisms or weddings. My husband encouraged me to just use regular scrapbook paper. I have been doing that, and trying to add scripture verses to each page. In a way, I like it better because I am looking up my favorite verses in the Bible, so it keeps God's word in my mind when I am working on my Faith Book.
