How I Discovered Ingrid & Open Journey

I have been a fan of the Open Journey line of products for well over a year now. To be honest, I don’t know for sure who introduced me to this talented artist and her faith-filled business. I’m pretty sure it was the lovely LindseyDecor, reviewing a handful of Open Journey kits on her Youtube channel.

Once I knew about Open Journey and Ingrid Blixt’s incredible art, I began purchasing her digital items to print at home. Fast forward just over a year later, when Ingrid posted a public call to anyone interested in becoming a part of her creative design team. And with God’s help, I was invited to become a team member.

Note: A creative design team member is sent product at no charge and then uses it in their Bible journaling, mixed-media, faith art, and so on. They then simply post their creations on to their social media accounts, showing people the product and what can be done with it.

The reason for the explanation is to let you know, though I did not purchase the Open Journey physical kits, I was not asked to write a review. I adore Ingrid, her art, and her kits so much, I simply want to shout it from the rooftops.

My Review

First things first, there is not another artist out there that is creating or selling anything like Open Journey. It truly is unique in many ways. Please know that I like many kits from an array of different artists, but Open Journey is still by far my favorite.

Let’s start from the beginning. From the moment I opened the package, I knew love and care were taken when these items were put together by Ingrid.

From stamping the outer paper bag she places it in, to the sewn, hand stamped or painted linen fabric sleeve, wrapped with cords and ribbon, she clearly puts a great deal of thought into her presentation.

I could see and feel how bulky the filled-to-the-brim package was. The kit included so so much product stuffed into the beautiful sleeve, I knew I would be able to use the overwhelming amount of products for a while to come.

Now I’m not going to describe all of Ingrid’s unbelievable artwork and the detail she puts into each piece. That would take far too long for a blog post review. However, take a look at just some of the awesomeness in her kits below.

Every item is high quality and unique. There is such an incredible amount of product included with these kits, that you may be asking yourself, “What do I do with all of it?” Below you will see how I’ve used Homebound and other Open Journey kits. These are my personal journaling pages, but the possibilities are endless.

You can find additional kit reviews in The Whole Kit And Caboodle: What I Think About Kits & Subscriptions.


Though the Open Journey kits are sold as Bible journaling kits, you can use them in other projects, mixed-media, planner embellishments and more.

Finishing Touch…

If you’re interested in taking your Bible journaling to the next level, if you’re looking for deeper devotional content or if you’re looking for some great pieces to go in your next mixed-media project, be sure to check out Ingrid’s shop. BTW, she has more than just Bible journaling kits. Head on over there and take a stroll through her store.

Hey creative sisters! So week 2 of #if_messtomessa Hey creative sisters!
So week 2 of #if_messtomessage  is MASTERPIECE. @confidentcanvas is really speaking to my heart with her devotional. I included one of my favorite quotes in my journaling, that goes perfectly with this week's reading. 
"You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously." I also included the lyrics to the Tori Kelly song (Masterpiece) on the next two pages. #hispalette #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #illustratedfaithcommunity #travelersnotebook #travelersjournal
Good morning creative sisters! I have had these gr Good morning creative sisters! I have had these green alphas for what seems like forever. And though my fave color since Jr. High has been green, I realize I don't use much of it in my art or journaling. Finally found a page/project I wanted to use these with. 😉 The focus verse for this page is 1 Chronicles 16:11. The verse talks about seeking the Lord. His face. 
When I think about what happens when I seek His face, the words clear, sharpen, clarity come to my mind. Whenever I feel like I dont know what's going on or I'm confused about the world or unsure of which direction I should go, I seek His face and everything makes sense. He sharpens my view.

Here is a recent page I created in my interleaved Here is a recent page I created in my interleaved Bible. I wanted to write some very raw emotions in my journaling, so these pictures are #beforethepen . The focus verse is 1 Peter 5:9. The printables I used for these pages are from the "You Are My Anchor" kit, which you can find in our print shop. One of my favorite verses in this Skillet song are "Don't let go. I know that I'll drown on my own." If you haven't had a chance to listen to or read the lyrics, be sure to look them up. They are powerful! #hispalette #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #bibleartjournaling #interleavedbible
