Description

The artwork comes in three sizes and you can choose how you use them!

If you’re new to celebrating Advent, it’s the season is the church calendar observed the four Sundays before Christmas Day. My hope is that these pages help you dwell on the “inexpressible gift” of God and help your heart “prepare Him room” in a season that can so easily crowd him out.

DOWNLOADING & PRINTING YOUR FILES
Once you check out, you will be able to download your files. Make sure to save them where you can find them! You can choose to print these at a local printer (such as Staples) or at home. For printing at home, I recommend printing the cards on cardstock (you can buy packs at Staples, Walmart, or any office supply store). Once you’ve printed, make cuts with a paper cutter (or good, old-fashioned ruler and scissors) at the 4.25 (width) and 5.5 (length) inch marks.

IDEAS FOR USING YOUR CARDS:
• Memorize/meditate on one verse each week or month as works for you or your learners
• Use the art for homeschool Bible time, family devotional time, Sunday school, or Bible studies
• Keep your coloring pages or Scripture cards displayed so you can talk about them often.
• Collect the coloring pages in a notebook so you can build your set.
• Hole punch the Scripture cards and put them together with a book clip or piece of ribbon or string.
• Pray these Scriptures, asking God to use them to transform us through the power of the Holy Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23
• Display cards in a plastic frame or mini clipboard
• Display on the wall with washi tape
• Send in a birthday card or with a meal
• Give a set as a birthday gift

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR CARDS:
★ The colouring pages were exactly what I needed for a craft activity at Youth Camp. Because they were instantly downloadable I was able to print them off and run with them.

★ I love these coloring pages cards!!! These are fantastic for children to have fun and yet learn the scripture which will impact them for life.

★Beautifully done. These inspiration cards are wonderful to keep as reminders in books and to share w/ friends–even as gifts.

★ Love MarydeanDraws artwork. This is the second time I’ve purchased her work. I print directly onto cardstock from my inkjet and they make lovely cards of spiritual encouragement. Keep going Mary I love your artwork!

★These are so beautifully illustrated. Great quality and colour. So so pleased. My Bible is going to be gorgeously full of these!!!! I would recommend 100%.

Because all monitors and printers are slightly different, the colors you see on your screen may be slightly different than the colors of your copies.
