“Now, what is a tip-in and why would I use it?”

“Hi, ladies! I’m JoAnna Goodman and I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. Susan has selected me to be the ‘Tip In’ tutor for this fabulous group and I am so honored! I have only been Bible journaling for about 5 months, but I am in love with this way of digging into His word! Even though I have illustrated many pages in my Bible, I have grown more and more into enjoying tip ins!

Tip ins can be any type of paper, card, photo, etc. that you want to include into your Bible. I, myself, have used sketch paper; tracing paper; copy paper; and, illustrated print offs. When using these, I cut them down to 5×7 or smaller. However, according to the size of your Bible, you can adapt your tip in to the desired size. Also, there are several ways to adhere tip ins into the Bible. . .you can use washi tape, adhesive or elmer’s glue, to name a few.

I want to let everyone know that my door is always open for any questions, ideas or inspiration! I look forward to helping in any way I can to make this new addition to your Bible fun and exciting! I, myself, am still learning, and look forward to enjoying the journey with all of you! I am hoping to offer tips and techniques; Q&A, when needed; and, reviews on supplies.

Please do not hesitate to private message me here on facebook or shoot me an email: joannagoodman424@yahoo.com, and I will do my best to get back with you as quickly as possible! Lastly, I am attaching a few of the tip ins I’ve created. . .showing the different mediums used. Blessings!!” ~ JoAnna Goodman
