Fruit of the Spirit Album by MagsGraphics

It is finished!! 11 weeks ago, I began leading a Scrapbooking Bible Study at my church on the Fruit of the Spirit (Galations 5:22). I used this book as a reference for the Biblical lessons, but used my own scrapbooking experience to teach the class. (Frankly, the scrapbooking part of the book was pitiful - but the lessons were good!). Each class we would spend 45 minutes finishing up the layout from the week before and then start the next lesson/fruit. We'd work through 5-6 verses and have a discussion, then plan our layout. The homework was for each lady to gather her pictures, papers, embellishments, etc.: everything she would need to complete that particular layout. Then we would return the next week - stick everything down and start the next lesson.

Tomorrow is the final class - I can't wait to see everyone's completed albums! And I'm so proud of my own album - this was harder than I expected and each layout is very special to me. Click on the thumbnails to view the full-size images.













I will be posting each layout separately on my "Finding God In Everyday Places Blog" - one a week until Christmas with the full "story" behind it if you are interested.
Your comments are greatly appreciated - let me know what you think!

  3. I have never seen a lovelier album. What a wonderful keepsake for your two adorable boys and a testament to what is really important in life.

    Right before I viewed your album I received an e-mail from a dear internet friend telling me her husband's handicapped son had passed away in his sleep last night.

    Thinking about what to say to them when I e-mail I then saw your tribute to Aunt Annie and it moved me to tears to see the faith of one so young. I will now tell them that their son is at a PARTY celebrating with Jesus and he is home forever and free from pain.

    THANK YOU so much for sharing your WONDERFUL album. I felt blessed just seeing and reading your wonderful layouts.

    Big Hugs!
