Free Bible Journaling Printables & Devo

This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  I feel like it's been forever since I posted, and, well, it has.  But Monday was officially my first day of summer vacation, and I hope to be able to post a little more frequently this summer.  Today I'm sharing something that has been requested for quite some time: a brand new Bible journaling freebie set in collaboration with my author friend Jennifer Hayes Yates!

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.

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.

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.

Free Two Days Devotion + Bible Journaling Printable

Hey, y'all!  I'm so excited to be sharing another Bible journaling freebie with you!  Every other month or so I love to collaborate with another blogger to bring you a set of awesome free tools to study God's Word through creativity.  This month I have teamed up with Hillary from Creative Faith & Company.  She is sharing a devotion she has written for y'all on her blog, and I'm sharing printable journaling goodies over here.

Hillary actually reached out to me about collaborating, and a subject she mentioned that she had on her heart was waiting.  Y'all, I feel like I've done nothing but WAIT over the past few years, so I thought that was a perfect subject for the devotion.  Let me explain...

Free First Love Devotion + Bible Journaling Printables

This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  It's been a while, hasn't it?  I have been super busy this new year, and I haven't been blogging near as much as I was before the holidays.  Today I'm interrupting my unplanned hiatus to share an awesome freebie with you!  Y'all know that I love Bible journaling and collaborating with Christian author Jennifer Hayes Yates, right?  Well, she and I have teamed up again to share a free devotion and Bible journaling printable with y'all perfect for February--the LOVE month!

When Jennifer and I talked about teaming up again, we both loved the idea of this month's devotion centering around love.  As usual, Jennifer did a great job writing her devotion, and she gave it the perfect title: "First Love."  When I read what she wrote, I had so many ideas swirling around in my head.  I tried to cram as many of them on this month's printable Bible journaling goodies as I could.

Free Printable Christmas Devotion + Bible Journaling Goodies

Hey, y'all!  I am so excited about the holiday season.  It's my favorite time of year!  I love sooo many things about it.  But you know what?  As magical as this time of year is, it's often very busy.  So busy that I sometimes feel exhausted by the time Christmas rolls around.  That feeling inspired me to write a devotion entitled "Rest in Him," and, of course, I created some printable journaling goodies to go along with it.  I'm sharing all this goodness with you today!

 Can I be honest with y'all for a second?  I'm a little nervous about sharing this devotion with you.  You see, I don't really consider myself a "writer."  Yes, I'm an English teacher, and, yes, I write project tutorials all the time, but this type of writing is different.

Hey, y'all!  I am seriously so excited about today's post.  I know every week I say "I'm excited about today's post," but today I'm SUPER excited.  Why?  I have once again teamed up with Christian author Jennifer Hayes Yates to share some great freebies with you today!  I have designed a brand new set of free printable Bible journaling goodies that coordinate with a brand new devotion called "Bending the Bow" that Jennifer is sharing on her blog One Thing today.  Keep reading to find the link to her devotion and the link to the printable journaling download.

At the end of July, Jennifer and I did our very first collaboration.  She wrote a lovely devotion entitled "Like a Tree," and I designed a set of printable Bible journaling goodies that coordinated with the devotion.  You can learn more about the devotion and printable here.  The collaboration was a success, and we both seriously enjoyed working together, so we decided to collaborate again.

Hey, y'all!  I am so excited about today's post!  First, I'm excited to be posting after a short blogging break.  (My family and I went on vacation, so I didn't have time to work on blog stuff.)  Second, I am super excited to be sharing a freebie with y'all, and this is probably my favorite freebie to date!  I have collaborated with awesome Christian author and blogger Jennifer Hayes Yates to bring y'all a free printable devotion, along with coordinating Bible journaling printable goodies!  How cool is that?!

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know that I am obsessed with Bible journaling and hand-lettering and sharing free printables with my readers.  I have been wanting to share a devotion with y'all, but I haven't felt confident enough inspired enough to actually write a devotion myself.  A couple of weeks ago, I had a lightbulb moment.  I realized that I knew a Christian author who writes devotions weekly, and I thought maybe she'd be willing to collaborate with me.  So I emailed Jennifer Hayes Yates, author of the Bible study Let's Run and writer of the Christian blog One Thing.  To my delight, Jennifer was excited to collaborate, and she wrote an awesome devotion for y'all entitled "Like a Tree."  It's all about growing in Christ.  Today she is offering the devotion to y'all in her blog post.  Read on for the link...

How to Make a Traveler's Notebook Insert + Free Printable

This post contains affiliate links.  Thanks for supporting Pitter & Glink! Hey, y'all!  Today's post is all about making a cute traveler's notebook insert inexpensively.  I'm sure you've heard about or seen the Midori/Fauxdori/Sewdori movement that's sweeping the nation.  (You had to, right? Because I showed you how to make a monogrammed fauxdori last month.)  Well, you must have journals/inserts to go inside your traveler's notebook, and you can make your own soooo inexpensively by simply using paper and a cool cover.  AND it just so happens that I'm sharing a FREE printable cover with you, along with two video tutorials showing you how to make your own journal and how to add personality to it.

 To make your own traveler's notebook insert, you just need a few supplies.

Free Printable Hand-Lettered Stocking Coloring Page

Hey, y'all!  I am officially on Christmas vacation, and I couldn't be happier!  I always have grand plans and lots of ideas for Christmas-themed posts for the blog, and then I never have time to execute all those ideas.  It makes me sad, but I'm starting to learn that it's okay to slow down (if possible) during the holidays and soak in the spirit of Christmas.  And you know what?  I LOVE my blog, but it's a fun hobby, and if it stresses me out and it's not fun anymore, I shouldn't be doing it.  My point is that I'm sorry if I didn't share as much Christmas inspiration as you would expect from me, but I know y'all understand the hustle and bustle of the holidays too.  Anyway, today I want to share a quick free printable coloring page with y'all.  It's a perfect boredom-buster for kids.

I hand-lettered this fun stocking for my DIY Hand-Lettered Stocking Tee that I shared last week.  I knew when I imported my design into Illustrator that it would be a perfect coloring page too, so I tweaked it a bit, and here it is!

Free Hand-Lettered "Cultivate Inner Beauty" Bible Verse Coloring Page

Hey, y'all!  Whenever I get free time (which isn't that often), I like to practice my hand-lettering.  I'm often inspired to take my hand lettering that I do in my journaling Bible and turn that into a coloring page that I can share with y'all.  A while ago, I journaled a verse that I just love: 1 Peter 3:4-5.  I had to create a coloring page to match my journaling, and today I'm sharing that with y'all.

When I stumbled on 1 Peter 3:4-5, I immediately loved the verse.  It reminds me that I shouldn't only focus on my outer beauty; I need to spend just as much time, if not more, on my inner beauty.

Free Hand-Lettered Bible Journaling Cards

Hey, y'all!  I have become obsessed recently with three things: hand lettering, watercolor, and Bible journaling.  This week, I found a way to combine all three of my new faves into a fun freebie for y'all: free hand-lettered Bible journaling cards!

 If you do a quick search for #illustratedfaith or #biblejournaling on Instagram, you'll see that people sometimes use journaling cards and small printables in their Bible journaling page designs.  With that in mind, I decided to let a couple of my Bible journaling pages and a couple of verses that I've yet to journal be inspiration for these journaling cards.  (Visit me on Instagram to see the Bible journaling pages that inspired two of the cards.)  I know that not everyone feels brave when it comes to being creative, and I know that some people are more artistic than others.  These are the individuals I had in mind when I created these journaling cards, but, honestly, anyone (even people who don't Bible journal) can use these cards.  And because y'all seem to love my coloring pages, I created some black and white options as well that you can color yourself.  Check them out...

Free Printable "Happy Birthday" Gift Tags

Hey, y'all!  This past weekend was my sister's birthday.  I, of course, had to create some handmade gifts for her, and I decided that those handmade gifts needed a unique gift tag.  Y'all know I love to create free printables, so I whipped up a fun "Happy Birthday" gift tag, knowing that I could share the gift tags with y'all later.  Well, now is later!

The awesomely cool thing about these tags is that you can color them!  That's right: you can use them as is or color them to match your gift wrap.

Free Hand-Lettered Fall Poem Printable

Hey, y'all!  Fall is SLOWLY coming here in the South, and there are a few things I think of when I think of fall: cozy sweaters, football, warm drinks, and beautiful leaves.  I had all these on my brain recently, so I wrote a tiny little poem and hand-lettered it for y'all so that you could have a fun printable for your fall decor.

Once I digitized (is that even a word?) my hand lettering, I filled the words with some fall colors and even found a few embellishments to add around the words.

I think the printable turned out pretty fun!  You can download your own copy of the printable {HERE}.  The printable colors are actually a little deeper than photographed and look even more "fall-like."  If you don't really like the different colors though, you can download an all orange version of the printable {HERE}.  

No matter which version you choose, I hope you enjoy it!  If you use the printable in your fall decor, I'd love for you to post a picture on Instagram and tag me or share a picture to my FB page. Happy Almost Fall! Related Posts:

Free Hand-Lettered Bible Verse Printable and Coloring Page: Romans 12

Hey, y'all!  Earlier in the summer, I shared a printable hand-lettered coloring sheet here on the blog, and people seemed to really enjoy it.  Of course, that made me want to make more.  So today I'm sharing my Romans 12 Hand-lettered Printable and Coloring Sheet with you.  That's right; if you want a printable, I have you covered, and if you'd rather color your own, I have you covered.  ;)

A while back I showed you how to illustrate your Bible, and the verse I illustrated was Romans 12:2--a verse that reminds me that God has called Christians to be different than the world through constant renewing of our minds through His Word.  I realize that not everyone has a Journaling Bible, and not everyone feels comfortable trying to create art.  With that in mind, I decided to make a hand-lettered coloring page because pretty much anyone can color right?

Free Hand-Lettered Bible Verse Coloring Sheet Printable

Hey, y'all!  Today I'm participating in a fun series hosted by Emily of Nap Time Creations called the Summer Fun Series.  Throughout the summer, bloggers are teaming up with Emily to share projects and ideas great for kids.  I haven't been blessed with kids yet, but I still wanted to participate, so my contribution is something that I think is good for all ages, from kids to the kids-at-heart: a hand-lettered Bible verse printable that doubles as a coloring page.

Here in South Carolina, it gets REALLY hot and humid during the summer, and some days it's best to  stay inside where it's cool if you can.  On those days, I'm sure parents have a hard time keeping kids occupied, so I hope that this coloring sheet will occupy the kids for at least a little while.

Free Hand-Lettered Patriotic Printable

Hey, y'all!  I have a few items on my summer to-do list, and one of those items is *almost* checked off already!  I signed up to take an e-course to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator.  Yep, I finally decided that I would learn a big scary program like Illustrator, and guess what?  I finished my class Friday, and I practiced my new found skills (and my hand lettering) to create a fun free printable for y'all.

After watching all the instructional videos, practicing with the program is really helping me learn.  Let's face it; with the technology, the best way to learn is to do.  So while it took me way longer than I'd like to admit to create this freebie for you, I am so very proud of it.  I am first and foremost a dreamer and not always a doer, so the fact that I dove head first into this class makes me a little more confident about acting on more of my dreams.

You can download this 8 1/2" x 11" print {HERE}.  I hope you are able to use this printable featuring a few lines from our beloved Pledge of Allegiance for your Fourth of July decor or maybe even to decorate at your Independence Day Barbecue.  It's a great reminder of the freedoms we enjoy in America.  And for me, it's also a reminder to try new things and reach for my goals.  Happy July 4th!

Free Printable Girly Notecards: Send Snail Mail with Style

Hey, y'all!  The past two weeks were kind of quiet on the blog because of the week before spring break being crazy at school and then spring break being, well, a break, but I'm back today to share some really pretty printable notecards with y'all.

 I really love getting snail mail, don't you?  Especially when it's really pretty snail mail!  I'm kind of bad about sending snail mail though.  I guess I should confess why, but it's kind of embarrassing...  I'm not sure how to let my mailman know that I have a letter for him to pick up in my box.  (I told you it was embarrassing!)  I don't have a flag on my mailbox because it's one of those letter holder type things that's attached to my porch, so I have no idea how my mailman is supposed to know that I have a letter that he needs to take with him.  When I lived in the country, we had a flag on the mailbox by the road that meant, "We have mail for you to pick up!"  So now when I have mail to send, I always have to take it by the post office, and I hate going to the post office.  But anyway, the point of this was to say that I do want to get better about sending people snail mail, and I really want to send them PRETTY snail mail.  I figured I couldn't be the only person who would like to have some pretty notecards that don't cost an arm and a leg, so I made these three different printable notecards for you us.

There's a "Thanks" card with a pretty watercolor rose background.  It's perfect for sending to a friend who did something special for you.  And then there are two cards to make your friends feel special.  Who wouldn't want to open a card that says, "Hello, Beautiful!"?  Or how about "Just a note to say...You're freakin' awesome!"?

Each notecard comes as a downloadable PDF.  You can download all three {HERE}.  There are two of the same style on each PDF, and all you have to do is download the PDF and print the notecards on card stock.  Cut out the cards, fold them in half, and you have some very pretty notecards to send to a friend.

The finished folded cards are 3 1/2" x 5", so you'll need some envelopes that size.  I found these on Amazon that would work.  (This is an affiliate link, which means if you click to make a purchase, it supports my blog at no extra charge to you.)

I hope you like the notecards and that you can use them to put a smile on a friend's face.

I had a lot of fun making these, and I'd love to make some more, but I need your help.  What phrases would you like to see on a notecard?  I can't wait to hear what you come up with!

Free Printable "Happy Valentine's Day" Gift Tags

Hey, y'all!  I think we established yesterday that it's pretty crazy that Valentine's Day is this weekend. And if you're like me, time may often creep up on you and a holiday--like Valentine's Day--is here before you know it and you have nothing for your Valentine.  Well, today I am coming to your rescue with a cute freebie for you.

I don't know too many people who wouldn't be happy to get candy for Valentine's Day.  But giving just plain candy doesn't seem very festive.  I created these free printable gift tags that you can add to a candy-filled mason jar.  

Download the printable gift tags {HERE}, then print and cut them out.  Attach the tags to a jar with some twine, and, voila!  You have a sweet (pun intended) gift for your Valentine.

The great thing about this printable tag is that it doesn't have to be for your girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife.  You could easily use these tags on a gift for a coworker, your child's teacher, or even the mailman.  No matter whose gift you attach a tag to, you're sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face simply because you though of him or her.
