Well, I have so much to share today.
Last weekend at my home studio we had a Guest artist Connie Denninger who led 8 women in a special workshop titled " Living Life as Prayer". It was a spirit time and great opportunity to look at the ways we can actually make every moment of our lives prayer to God.
Connie demonstrated lots of techniques to use in our prayer time, so keep a record of time spent in prayer, who we are praying for and responses to prayer. It was such a good workshop, and I am working on putting it together as an online class so stay tuned.
Here are pictures of the books Connie brought and recommended.
Some of the participants.
Preparing our prayer journals.
Thanks Connie for your honest sharing from your heart and for helping us to understand how to live a life as prayer.
Check out Connie's blog Vintage Grace here. Connie is available for Christian retreat speaking engagements. She is an avid Pinterest user, here is her Pinterest address Connie Denninger Pinterest link.
My new friend Paula Parkison was able to attend from FL, and it was wonderful to spend 4 days crafting with her. She makes wonderful Scripture Snippets and we created a Etsy site for her on Friday. Here is the link for her Etsy site and for her blog Remember the Promise.
Here is a picture of her Scripture Snippets, small custom made scrapbooks full of Bible verses, embellishments and lots of prayer! If you are looking for a great gift for Mother's day, graduation, anniversary present, you can have one custom made for you if you go to her Etsy site.
So long since I posted my testimony and so much to share!
My friend Connie has been such a gift and inspiration to me. God brought us together last year, when I was published in a online Scrapbooking site. She was on a trip to Chicago at the time when one of her art friends said check out this woman online. She lives near you. Connie emailed me and we talked on the phone while she was waiting in the airport to come back to Northern VA. We connected via our faith and then through art. She has given so much support, love and spiritual mentoring to me over the past year. She named me as her resident artist for her church Prince of Peace. I have attended many of her Keep the Faith events and have been blessed by the women of her church who are interested in faithart.
One of Connies' gifts is mentoring and teaching- basically sharing her faith walk. She has kept a blessing journal for over 6 months ( from the book 1000 gifts) and for the past 2 years has kept a journal of her faith walk. She practices praying in color ( Praying in Color ), which is where I got the inspiration to begin my praying in color journal in Jan of this year. ( see pictures and posts here).
Connie will be teaching "Living Life as Prayer" here at the studio on April 28 and we have 4 seats left. Here is the Download AHC 2012 Guest Series Denninger v3. You won't want to miss this!
God has given me this platform ( my blog) to spread His word and His creativity! Another new friend from this blog is Paula Parkison. She found me last month and we have been corresponding and I am so happy that she is coming from FL to the studio in 2 weeks for the Living Life as Prayer workshop. Paula's story is fascinating, please check her blog and read her faith journey! She is a widow and a former pastors wife ( as is Connie). She has such talent in expressing faith in beautiful scripture snippets and other craft items.
Today we received a huge box from Paula and I wept when I saw the gifts she sent us. She custom made a name frame for each of my daughters and how did she know their color schemes??? She is amazing and the detail and love is so evident! God has blessed me with her friendship and our love of God drew us together!
I shared my one little word for 2012 in Jan here. I set some goals for myself and have been "steadfast" in doing them. One of my goals was my weight. I have been struggling for the past few years with weight. I did not grow up with weight issues, weight became an issue for me when I became hypothyroid about 12 years ago. I have lost 22 lbs on my "simple diet" plan . God has given me the strength to lean on Him instead of food, to exercise daily and taken away my cravings for food! This is a new habit of health I am trying to live.
I started keeping my 1000 gifts book and praying in color journal and have kept up with it consistently- being steadfast!
God is watching over my children and blessing them and I will be receiving a wonderful gift of a 2nd grandchild in October.
Life is good because of my relationship with Jesus and being steadfast in my habits.
My prayer for my friends and family in April is found in John 17:15,17
".... protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth."
I was a guest vendor at the event "For Such a Time as This" at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church this past Saturday. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear about a young woman ( Katie Stam Miss America 2009) tell her testimony. I learned a lot about Miss America as a scholarship program.
Here is a picture of our vendor booth, and this even was confirmation that I am only going to do Church events as my faithart is welcomed and loved here.
Prayer Planks, mini marvels and my special canvases were the big sellers.
I want to share one of my recent God moments.
On Friday I was preparing for the show and felt led to make some smaller faithart for Saturday. One of my best sellers last year was a piece entitled Sing, Sing, Sing from the song that I love by Chris Tomlin. I wanted to make another praise piece to share. Connie from Prince of Peace gave me a few of her hymnals that they are not using and we have been using them for craft projects. So I found the hymn Holy, Holy, Holy and copied it on heavy copy paper and collaged it to 8x10 canvas ( I made 4 at a time). I then did my stencil/texture technique around the edges and then added a home made stencil I have from a picture of a woman with raised hands worshiping God. I added her in the middle over the music and felt it needed something more. I looked through my stencil file and realized that I had the same praise woman in a smaller size so added that to the right and as I was finishing up the reverse addition on the left , my eyes read the words underneath and God spoke to me. The last stanza of the hymn "God in three person, blessed Trinity". I looked up at the title "Holy, Holy Holy and realized that God had given me the idea and had guided my hands to create this. I felt so loved my Him and blessed at the same time.
Here is a not so good picture of one of them, as it was late when I finished Friday night and didn't have the proper light to take a picture. This is from the event.
They were a sell out in the first 30 minutes!
I shared the story with each buyer so that they knew that God was blessing them with the picture in their home....
I also designed a special prayer plank for a gift for Katie and here is a picture of her receiving it with Katie. My daughter Vera is the manufacturer of the prayer planks, so thanks Vera!
Check out more pictures of the event and some beautiful craft decoration ideas from Connie's blog , called Vintage Grace.
Chapter 3-5
Chapter 3 is about the deepest question we all have as women.
I used a scrapbooking paper, stencils and distress ink and made a small booklet with the question mark that flips and covers some of my journaling. The next piece is a envelope that I stamped and decorated and then inserted journaling ( things I wanted to keep private) inside. The next page is Chapter 4 how our hearts are wounded. I used a transparency, and stamped wounded on it with stazon ink. I used tulle to cradle my metal heart. I cut a heart from a soda can, embossed it and then added alcohol inks. I punched holes into it and added black ink around the holes.
Underneath is a white page that I collaged a gavel and stamped verdict. Depicting how we make a decision and choice about the state of our heart.
I love these next 2 pages for Chapter 5. I think a picture of my heart is that on one side the devil whispers and pulls me with all the negative things I am scared of- unlovable, fat, ugly, worthless, etc. And there is another side that pulls me- Jesus whispering into my heart all the truth- my life is a symphony, he heals my heart, he hears my cries, etc.
So I took a heart shaped cutout, painted it red, attached them together and added to a plastic transparency. I used black paint on the left side, with white gesso and a stencil and then wrote the words on the gesso. On the right side I used gold and a stencil to depict Jesus' words.
Chapter 6 is about healing the wound. We are advised to renounce the lies we have believed, grieve the wounds, forgive as a choice, heal my broken heart and release my captivity to strongholds.
I used 2 scrapbook papers, and cut out the design and inserted a prayer inside.
More to share, this study is very good, and it helps to have a group of women who meet with me weekly to discuss, share and do art journaling together!
we all have beauty to unveil. I used a stencil and traced the lines on a piece of scrapbooking paper, then cut each out. I used the stencil to spray on the white paper also. Then I attached each of the pieces on top of the sprayed ones and made them so each would flip open. I put all my journaling underneath. See the next picture for a few of the pieces opened up.
This next page talks about how I am convinced that I need to take matters into my own hands all the time. I need to give Him the time and space for His plans not mine.
Women are victims of the curse and we either are dominating or desolate or alternate between the two. I used a stencil of a tree on the 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper, and then copied pictures of my mother, grandmother ( on both sides and my great grandmother. Added them to my family "tree". the flap on the side hides my journaling.
Back of that page is the wall I have around my heart. I used the brick embossing plate on brown paper and then journaled and added around a picture of me.
I wanted to show my heart as it indulges and keeps me in chains with clothes. food, reading, dogs, etc. I drew a large heart, collaged it, and added crackling paste and glued silver chains on it. The background is spray inks and tapes and stamps. the inside of the heart is how God sees my heart, I used glue and large glass glitter.
Well that gets you up to Chapter 3! Next week I will reveal more of my art journal faithart book.
Wow, I have been so busy forgot to update you all on the study. We meet each week on Sunday and either do a new chapter in the book and journal or just create our own journal pages.
Here are my newest pages. If you have any questions on techniques or products leave me a comment and I will be happy to respond quickly!~
Eve was the crown of creation. I used stencils to represent the garden flowers and found a drawing on the internet of a woman's body and printed it on vellum paper and stamped the words on the vellum.
God longs for me ! I used the song music O the Deep Deep love of Jesus as a collage paper, added gesso texture with a stencil, chipboard letters and a small folder with stamps for journaling.
This page is about Gods relationship with us. He has made women to be inviting, tender, merciful, devoted, inviting, and fiercely protective. I used a 12 x12 double sided paper and folded the side to match the width of my book. drew the circle with a stencil and then used the flap for my journaling notes.
The back of this page is about Genesis 2:18- "It is not good for the man to be alone, I shall make him an ezer kenedo ( helpmeet)".
Great day in the studio last Saturday. A new student Donna came and we had so much fun.
Here are their beautiful faithart canvas projects. Donna made hers for a co-worker who has cancer and is getting hospice care and Rusty made one for her sister. Love the colors, textures and the love put into each one. Both used the music "Amazing Grace" as their collage papers underneath the texturizing.
Hebrews 11:1 " Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
Psalm 149:3 "...praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp."
Heather made her OLW canvas and her favorite color is purple, so isn't this beautiful?

Today was open studio and we had 4 women here crafting- creating and sharing. What a wonderful way to end 2011.
2011 was the beginning of Adore HIM Creations becoming a real studio, creating art to sell and expanding my artistic horizons. What a blessing it has been to spend my time creating art that brings glory and honor to God. I have been blessed to help others see the creativity God gave them and to help them allow that creativity to soar. Look at this piece from Penny- one of our regular students. Love how she gave expression to the word peace.
And Denise, my beautiful friend and sister in Christ. She made this piece to hang in her office at work. I am so proud of how she has allowed her artistic talents to become freely expressed. This picture doesn't do this justice, the cross is luminescent and glows.
Tracy and her daughter made this beautiful present for her son and his new wife. A beautiful reminder of Gods' plan for marriage.

Happy New Year!
This is a great book Captivating, so insightful and helpful to refocus me and to provide healing in those areas where my pain is a deterent to my walk with Christ. We are part of a large group on Facebook that is doing an online journaling class led by Patti Hale.
I am leading a small local group here in Northern VA and we meet weekly to discuss the chapters and to work on our art journals. Here are some pictures of my group ( missing Michelle) God is binding us together in a deeper way and we are drawing closer to Him.
Here are some pictures of my pages and my cover. I worked for about 3 days on the cover. I had inspiration from Anna ( from Poland) and this is my version.
First I collage a lot of papers onto the cardboard covers. Sprayed with Adirondack inks and Glimmer mist inks. Added some creme color paint to tone it down, and then sprayed a gloss varnish over it all.
The embellishments: I wanted to create a "cross" of embellishments that would signify the love of God in my life. I cut up a old frame and used them on the right and left side, then added wooden cut out designs ( I found at Michaels a long time ago) as the top and bottom of the cross. I used alcohol inks on the plastic letters. I included a pearl heart as the inside of the flower. Added lost of other metal embellishments and glued them with a hot glue gun. Masked off the rest of the cover and used Glimmer mist spray on the embellishment. I wanted to stitch on the outside edges, but I used really think cardboard ( the covers from my watercolor pads) so used my Tim Holtz stitching stamp instead.
Here is the back of th e front cover and the inside and outside of the back cover. I am planning on connecting my book with wire bound using my Cinch.
Been waiting to post this special project that Jenny, Penny and I made for our small group leader Berna.
It is based on the Create canvas from Jennifer McGuires online class. Berna is such a wonderful example of a servant leader, so we used the word servant. We asked the women in our small group to send us a bible verse or note to Berna and then we used that as a background to the hearts. Since she gives her heart to all of us, we gave our hearts back to her!
I typed up the notes/bible verses and printed them onto a separate paper for Berna to read. I stamped it and included it with the gift.
Each year I make our small group some special gift from me to each of them. This year I made original tags- 31 of them and let them choose the one that spoke to them.
I had such a good time praying and creating these little works of art.
Merry Christmas!
Last Saturday was the last open studio of 2011.
Robin made this beautiful faithart OLW (one little word) canvas for her son and daughter for Christmas. Robin is a creative woman who has a strong faith. I can't wait to hear how her children respond!
And Penny is one of my regular students and I love watching her create. She lets her ideas come to live on paper and on canvas.
Have a Merry Christmas! Stay tuned for lots of new classes in 2012!
Just saw this fantastic video from the Worship Studio. Take a few minutes and watch and you will be able to experience a glimpse of my experience at the Gathering in Sept in NC.
This was a life changing experience for me and opened my eyes and heart to new ways to worship God.
Here are some pictures of the work produced at our studio on Friday last week. Another opportunity to enable others to express their God given creativity!
I can't believe that I missed posting this great class!
The class was called Inspiration Showcase with Jennifer McGuire. Even though the class is over, you can still take the class at your own pace. I highly recomend it! It is a great technique class. Here is the link. She also has a new Christmas Card class starting soon.
Here is the canvas I made. I loved doing each heart technique.
I took some individual row pictures too. Enjoy!
I have been blessed by the Father with His gift of creativity. My prayers have been answered - prayers for finding my style, and what God wanted me to create to bring him glory and honor and turn the hearts of others to Him. Here are some of the canvases that I have created that will be for sale at the Craft show this weekend.
I pray over each one and ask God to bring the person who he wants to hear the message in each one.
Thanks for your encouragment and support!
Thanks to my children, I was able to make a video from start to finish of my faithart canveses! I think you will really like this one. Step by step from conception to finish!

Wanted to share the beautiful work that God is doing at the studio!
Saturday we had 5 women here creating faith art.
Cuky created a canvas with Psalm 3:5-8. She envisioned the words on the shield of faith. We made a flower from a soda can. She was very scared to come and create, but she overcame that fear and look at the beautiful art God created through her hands!
Jennie is one of the regulars who is really growing in her creativity! She made these 4 6x6 canvases. Here is the story behind the art in her own words:
"The Story" I used copies of hymns on each canvas 1. Just as I am- God takes you as you are a mess 2. Take my life and let it be- He rearranges our focus pulling us together. He uses us to make a picture. 3. Be Thou my vision- He pulls me together and 4. Come thou Font of every blessing- we become completely focused on God and He is working through us.
Here are the finished canvases.
Penny is another regular and worked on her own 6x6 projects. Love the time theme, she cut out the clock with the Big Shot and then inked it to look like metal. The red piece is about the music. Love her creativity and color choices.
Denise stenciled and painted this beauty (12x12). She has such a great eye for composition and color. It is Phil 4:13 " I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me."
Rusty made a 12x12 canvas also. She used the same bible verse as Denise, and stencils with gesso. Love how she put her words going up- she said it reminds her - her strength comes from Him!
Great day, lots of fun, lots of beautifull work.
Welcome to the Be-Attitudes Faith Blog Hop postponed from last week! Every month we choose a theme with which to honor Christ and become closer to Him. We then create a project to reflect that theme and boldly post it on our blogs so that the whole world sees that even our talents belong to Him! This month we have chosen the Beatitudes found on Mathew 5:3:12 and we invite you to hop through our blogs to see the Lord’s Glory manifested through the work of our hands and the stories He has written in our lives. If you arrived from Kari - http://purplefuntastickcreations.wordpress.com/s blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened to land here, make sure that you hop on over to www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com to begin the journey. Know that we have been praying for you and hope that the Lord would bring you just a bit closer to Himself…
In Matthew 5:3-12 we find the well known Beatitudes. This portion of Scripture is very peculiar because every statement begins with “Blessed are those…” and yet the attribute that is mentioned right after is NOT something desirable before the eyes of the world.
Look at the list of attributes along with the blessed reward:
Poor in spirit: Kingdom of Heaven
Mourn: comfort
Meek: inherit the earth
Hunger and thirst for righteousness: will be filled
Merciful: will be shown mercy to
Pure in heart: will see God
Peacemakers: called children of God
Persecuted because of righteousness: kingdom of heaven
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you
If we were to be honest, we would all say that none of us would like to be considered poor in spirit, or be caught in the midst of mourning. Meekness is considered a sign of weakness and in America Hunger and Thirst for righteousness is replaced by hunger and thirst for worldly acceptance. It is very difficult to be merciful and pure in heart for our hearts are always seeking to satisfy our own needs; and we are not willing to make peace if that peace requires that we would submit to someone else’s authority. We do not want to be made fun of, or persecuted, or bad mouthed… Yet all of these things the LORD calls blessed!
The reason why they are Blessed is because only when we have these attitudes can we truly see ourselves for who we are and God for who He is. Only when we see the depravity of our being and the sin that enslaves us, can we be set free by the only ONE that is Pure and Holy! May He grant us the privilege of being called BLESSED by Him because in us are found the Be-Attitudes.
With this in mind I can say that I created some art journaling pages about the beatitudes. I tried to show what God was saying to me in each of the blessings. I hope you enjoy!
There is no greater gift than that of finding Christ, but we would like to bless a group of you with some Grand Prizes from the following sponsors.
To qualify, like Paper Tree House Studio in Facebook, become a follower of their blog, and leave a comment. Those that choose to participate by creating a project that follows the theme will have a greater chance of winning, so make sure that you create something or share your own story in your blog to then come back and share with us your creation and thoughts.
Hop on over to Susan – http://susanascorner.blogspot.com
’s blog to continue in this journey… May you be filled with the “Be-Attitudes” this week.
Love in Christ, Diane
Another studio day and Jenny, Penny and Connie came to make art!
God has given Jenny and Penny a new passion- faith art. What a pleasure it is to see them blossom and explore their creativity.
Jenny is working on creating faith word canvases for her home. Love this one - she really learned how to use stencils to tell her story.
Penny made a gift for a family member and I love how she used the different crosses to complement the faith word.
Connie is working on her art journal aka Smash book. Didn't grab any pictures of it this time.
How has God inspired your work lately?
This week I wanted to show you a special project that I got to be a part of.
Ryan is a Eagle Scout from VA Beach. He was moved to create a special gift project for a family in VA Beach who suffered a extreme loss about 2 years ago. A couple who were trying for a long time to have children, were blessed to get pregnant with twins. Sadly, the outcome wasn't what they hoped and dreamed for. One of the twins died at birth and the other lived for a few weeks. Each day as they went to the hospital they walked down this long sterile hallway. They mentioned that it was so depressing to walk down that corridor many times each day to see their child. Ryan decided to create some faith art for the corridor. We made one piece last year and then it has taken a long time for the hospital to approve, and for him to do fund raising, and create special enclosed frames.
Well, finally we were able to finish the project last Saturday. Ryan, Ethan and Daniel- his fellow eagle scouts arose at 5:30 am for the long drive to our studio. We were able to prime the boards with gesso, paint the backgrounds and add the embellishments. We made 5 more paintings (24 x 40). Ryan's dad Pat created the frames and used plexiglass for the covers. This is the first one we did over 18 months ago. The picture was one I got at a yard sale as a set of 4 for $5. They had some ugly old painting, that we covered with gesso and paint.
Since the pictures will be in a hallway, the hospital requested they be protected with a plexiglass cover. So here is what Ryan and his did did. It looks great!
Ryan named the project "Healing Flowers".
Here are the other 5 pictures.
Great job Ryan, Ethan and Daniel!
I am leaving for vacation today and will be gone for a week. We have had 3 classes this past week and the work God is creating through His people is amazing.
1. Youth for Tomorrow in Bristow VA- Vera went on a mission trip to work with these kids and I came each afternoon and we did art journaling. The girls each created a collage cover journal. Can only show the work not the faces, but look at the beauty God is creating out of the ashes of pain!
2. Bible Verse Tag class was last Thursday night and we had 7 students who made beautiful tags.
Our bible verses for this class were
"This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
"Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you shall find and knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
3. Last night 8/1 was the faithart canvas class. It was wonderful to see how creative each woman was. This class uses a 12x12 stretched canvas, gesso, stencils and lots of acrylic paints to create a beautiful textured canvas.
Aren't they magnificent?
I won't be posting anymorethis week and next, need a vacation!
Stay tuned for lots of new classes, projects and Gods work at the studio this fall!
I will be back online on Aug 15 .
Open studio was last Saturday and it was wonderful to have some of the women in my small group attend.
Traci is one of the women who keeps telling me she is not "creative". I am beginning to realize that my ministry is to allow women to come to the studio, relax and allow their creative side to emerge! I love encouraging women to explore that inner spark that God gave them.
Look at her beautiful 16x20 canvas that she made for her beloved daughter Jackie!
Denise tried a new technique and created this beautiful faithart canvas. Love her bold use of colors! Doris said it "reminds me of a heart bursting with love, joy, and feeling awesome in His presence". What do you think?
Jenny is new to the studio. She is Penny's neighbor and friend. Love her faithart canvas with the word joyful!
And last but not least, Penny. Penny has a remarkable ability to translate feelings, color and words into images! I love this picture. She is not afraid to try new techniques or to work hard to make it work. Don't you just love this? Look closely and see the images of people in the clouds above the eagle.
