Introducing two new Bible printable sets + a free sample coloring page

My business has changed a lot over the last 10 years! I started off making cute animal prints for nursery decor on Etsy. In 2015, I started writing this blog and created my first Bible verse printable. I was looking for Bible coloring pages to do with my kids, and I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That led to creating my printable Bible verse cards and coloring pages.

In 2018, I started exploring watercolor, and that led to the creation of the hymn art prints, which have done so well. Managing the different arms of my business sometimes feels like a wrestling match, but I am always trying to hear God’s leading and create things that He has given me a passion and ability to do.

So here we are in 2023, and I am so excited to finish up these two new printable sets to add to my shop’s printable library! I have always loved communicating the truth of God’s word in creative ways, so it was a joy to make these. I especially loved researching the pictures of God in Scripture. The project has deepened my own faith and love for God.

The Psalm 139 Set: “Knit Together”

This set is listed two ways: color cards and coloring pages or just black and white coloring cards + pages.

The “Picturing God” Playing Card Set

This set comes in a set of full color cards OR full and quarter page coloring pages. Each card features:

  • a Biblical picture of God
  • an illustrating image
  • a symbol
  • a main verse
  • plus most have additional verses to look up

I’ve also included a guide with ideas of ways to use the cards with your learners, and some blank cards for creating your own designs.

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

SEARCH THE BLOG

If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Ma If you look up artwork or movies featuring Mary Magdalene, you’ll often find her depicted as a penitent woman or as sexualized, with her clothes literally falling off her body. It was Pope Gregory the Great who proposed that Mary Magdalene’s seven demons represented the seven deadly sins and that she was both a prostitute and the penitent sinner who anoints Jesus in Luke 7:36-50 (Jennifer Powell McNutt).

Later church historians assumed that Mary Magdalene’s great sins were to blame for her demon possession (McNutt). While the Western Church came to see Mary Magdalene as a prostitute and a great sinner, the Eastern Orthodox church honored her as the leader of the “myrrh-bearing women” (Taylor and Bond).

🌸 Part 1 of the Mary Magdalene study is up on Substack. Have you ever heard that she was a prostitute? Where did that come from? Is it Biblical? I was fascinated by how her story has been told through history, the origins of her name, what it means that she had been possessed by seven demons, and her place among Jesus’ disciples.

When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women B When I started writing the Jesus Speaks to Women Bible studies last year, I started collecting books on New Testament women. I really didn’t know where to start at first. I wasn’t familiar with the scholarship about women in the Bible, and I hadn’t even heard of any female theologians doing this work!

So you don’t have to start from scratch if you’re like I was, I’m going to share a list of books I’ve learned from in the last year. Some are more academic than others, but all have been helpful.
