DIY Glamorous Halloween T-Shirt + Free Cut File

This post contains affiliate links and is sponsored by Expressions Vinyl. Hey, y'all! Happy fall! In the South where I live, the beginning of fall doesn't mean much because we are normally still having summertime temperatures, but it does signal that it's socially acceptable to start decorating with pumpkins and preparing for fun fall holidays like Halloween.  Today, I am teaming up with Expressions Vinyl to share an awesome Halloween project with you.  I'm showing you how to make a glamorous, sparkly, not-so-spooky Halloween t-shirt, and, of course, I'm giving you the free cut file so that you can make your own!

Way back in 2012 when I was just a baby blogger, I had an idea for a free Halloween printable: "Ghoul, you look boo-tiful!" I created and shared the printable on the blog with some not-so-fabulous photos, and while the post is nowhere near one of my favorites, I still love the saying.  So when I decided to create a post for Halloween, I thought it would be fun to bring back that saying on a t-shirt.  I created a fun design, and used my Silhouette Cameo and vinyl from Expressions Vinyl to bring my design to life.  It was so easy! You can make one for yourself in no time following the tutorial below.

My New Favorite Accessories

This post contains affiliate links and a brand ambassador discount code.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  If you have followed me for a while via social media or my blog, you probably know that I'm a huge fan of pretty, girly things.  Give me all the sparkly accessories and all the cute clothes!!!  And because I know there are a lot of girly girls like me out there, I love sharing my favorite clothes and accessories, whether they're DIY or store-bought.  I normally just share the store-bought stuff on Instagram, but today on the blog I want to share with you my new favorite jewelry brand. I love this brand so much that I've teamed up with them as a brand ambassador.  The brand is Lucy's Inspired, and I think y'all are going to love them as much as I do!  (And if you do, you can get 20% off your purchase by using the code BETHANY20!)

I'm really not even sure how I stumbled upon Lucy's Inspired.  I believe I just happened to see a post from them on Instagram.  I thought their necklaces were beautiful, so I started following them and then realized they were looking for brand ambassadors.  I loved the fact that as a brand ambassador I could get some of their jewelry at a discount and that I could get a discount code for y'all too, so I signed up.  I spent hours one night deciding what necklaces I would order first and finally decided on three.

Fall Poem Pillow + Free Cut File

Thanks, Expressions Vinyl, for sponsoring today's post!  This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  Since school has started back and it's been unbearably hot around here lately, I am sooo ready for fall!  Bring on the cooler weather, pumpkin everything, boots and scarves...give me all the fall! I was so inspired by my longing for fall recently that I wrote an original poem about the season. Today I'm showing you how I used some fabulous heat transfer vinyl from Expressions Vinyl to create a festive fall pillow featuring my poem.  As usual, I'm sharing the free cut file with you so that you can create your own, AND at the end of the post, I'm telling you all about how you can vote (for me I hope) and enter to win a prize over at the Expressions Vinyl Blog.  

Yep, that's a lot of fabulosity happening in one post, so let's get started.

Free Printable Scripture Verse Journaling Cards

Hey, y'all!  If you haven't noticed yet, I LOVE making freebies to share with y'all.  Sometimes I create things I think you'll like, and sometimes I create things for myself that I share with y'all.  Today's freebie falls into the latter category.  I'm sharing some FREE printable Bible verse cards with you!

One of the last Bible studies I did was The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer.  The study is really great; I highly recommend it.  One of my main takeaways from the study is that being in God's Word daily and meditating on His Word changes our hearts, minds, and lives.  I try to read my Bible daily, although sometimes I fail. But one thing that I haven't done in years is memorize scripture.

Free Printable Wonky Alphabets for Journaling + Planning

Hey, y'all!  I can't believe how fast the summer flew by!  Today is my last day as a free woman.  Just kidding...sort of.  I start school tomorrow, so that means less time to be lazy creative.  One of the things I wanted to do on my last day of summer is to share a fun freebie with y'all!

A few weeks ago, Shanna Noel of Illustrated Faith shared a video tutorial showing everyone how to make fun alphas from decorated paper.  (You can find the video here.)  I followed her tutorial to create some really pretty letters that I used in a couple of my latest Bible journaling entries.  You can see one of them below.

My Favorite Bible Journaling Supplies

This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  Today's post has been a long time coming.  For a while now, I've wanted to write a post about my favorite Bible journaling supplies, but I never took the time to do it...until this week.  So today I'm going to tell you all about the supplies I love to use when I'm being creative in my Bible.  Of course, these supplies will work for art journaling of any kind, but y'all know I love my Bible journaling, so I'll try to mention how they work on the pages of my journaling Bible.

 I do want to mention first and foremost that you do NOT have to have a lot of fancy supplies to start journaling in your Bible.  All you need is a journaling Bible (or a notebook) and a no-bleed pen.  You can start there and add supplies to your collection as you become more comfortable working in your Bible.  But if you've followed me for a while, you know I'm a craft supply hoarder, so I need ALL. THE. SUPPLIES.  Well, I don't need them, but I want them. *wink*  So today I'm just going to tell you a little about the supplies I continuously go back to.  I also need to mention before I get started that the links I'm using to the items I talk about are affiliate links.  This just means that if you purchase something through one of my links, part of the purchase price will go towards helping support my blog at no extra cost to you.  (Thank you!)  Now that we have that out of the way, let's get started!

Free Worship Devotion + Bible Journaling Printable

This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  As you know, I love Bible journaling, and I love God's Word.  In months past, I have collaborated with other bloggers to bring you free devotions and coordinating Bible journaling printables.  This month, my friend Jennifer Hayes Yates--Christian devotion writer and blogger at One Thing--asked me to write a devotion as part of a three-week series on her blog all about digging deeper with God.  I was so excited that she asked me to write something because I have been wanting to write more lately, and her request was just the push I needed to finally do it.  The topic she gave me was worship, so I set aside a few days to study what God says about worship, and I wrote a devotion entitled "Whole-Hearted Worship."

When I was studying worship to write this devotion, one of the verses I found inspired me to do an entry in my journaling Bible.  You might have seen the page I illustrated on Instagram.

Because people seemed to like the page a lot, I decided to use it as inspiration for some FREE Bible journaling goodies that coordinate with the "Whole-Hearted Worship" devotion.
