items For many christians, studying the Word of God can feel challenging when you don't know where to start. When I decided to take on a project instigated by the Holy Spirit (my blog Thyme & Vine) to encourage women to read their bibles, I didn't real...

Journaling Bibles
This is where you start. If you feel led to start bible journaling, you're gonna need an art journaling bible, something with space on the margins to take notes and be able to add pages (if you need more room) to the bible. Here are my faves.
If you've seen my list, “21+ Best Bibles to Buy for Christian Women Right Now,” then you know this bible is a repeat offender. 😂 IT'S JUST THAT GOOD! Maybe I under estimated the dimensions when I bought it? (I mean, who does girl math? 🙋🏾♀️) But it's HEFTY. Which is good! Because it's durable. AND IT'S THE BEST BIBLE ON T...
KJV Note-taking Bible, Large Print Special Edition (Amelia Sage Floral, Your Will Be Done Luke 22:42, Hardcover)
Coming in with the NKJV is this beaut! 😍 Listen, it's more beautiful in person (ask me how I know 💸👀). But the margins are spacious and it's not as wide or tall as the KJV art journaling bible on this list? But it's still got a good weight to it! ...
NKJV, Journal the Word Bible, Cloth over Board, Blue Floral, Red Letter, Comfort Print: Reflect, Journal, or Create Art Next to Your Favorite Verses | Hardcover
I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU OPTIONS! 😂🙌🏾 This is an NIV Journal the Word bible, meaning it's another art journaling bible that's gonna have bible verses in beautiful script in the margins, have enough space so that you don't have to make teeny tiny not...
NIV Journal the Word Bible for Women
Now this is a hefty one too. This ESV bible is just adorable and honestly? It's one of my faves on this list just because it reminds me of that gorrrgeeeoouussss scandi-folk or like baltic folk embroidery style? It's so hygge, I couldn't help myself ...
ESV Journaling Study Bible (Cloth over Board, Blush/Ochre, Floral Design)
This is one kind of bible that I really like to gift for some reason. I don't know if it's the full color maps, I don't know if it's the commentary. I just… I think when it's time to gift a bible, more than the NIV or NLT, I like giving this one away...
CSB She Reads Truth Bible, Poppy Linen Cloth Over Board | Hardcover
The NLT is rounding out the end of this list because it is, in fact, my least favorite. I find inconsistencies between what other versions have to say and this one. It bothers me not just a little bit, if I'm to be frank. But I do know that a lot of ...

Bible Tabs
Whether or not you're placing your bible tabs on the side or the top of your bible, being able to see the books of the bible at a glance makes it sooooo much easier to just flip to the book and chapter that you need to study.
Now upon deciding to pair these beautiful tabs with this bible, I was like, could this be anymore perfect? Could these really have been a match made in heaven from the start? 😂
Mr. Pen - Mini Laminated Bible Tabs, Modern Grace
I decided not to lean into the blue when I decided to pair these bible tabs with this gorgeous cute little bible. IT'S ADORABLE! 💕 It made sense to me when I already knew I was going to be overloading on the blue and floral print by pairing it with this bible cover.
Mr. Pen Warm Mocha Bible Tabs Gold Foil
Now, I didn't expect to keep a pair of these tabs for one of my own bibles that I'm actually keeping, but… for some reason the Most High directed me to these and before I knew it, they were in the cart and on their way to my doorstep. ♥️
Matte Embossed Bible Tabs for Women Oak
Okay okay, we can agree to disagree, but these are the only acceptable bible tabs to go along with this beaut right here. 😍
Salt & Light Pine Green w/ Gold Foil Bible Tabs
Alright, these are currently in the mail as we speak 🥰 I ended up deciding on these because I thought they went too well with this bible journal. Don't you agree? 😍
Mr. Pen Laminated Bible Tabs, 75, Frozen Lake
These were the first bible tabs I bought for the project! They're suuuupppeerrr cute, and I decided to pair this with this bible right here. 🥰
Laminated Bible Tabs w/ Gold Foil Lettering
Now when I was looking at this bible right here, I knewwww that I could've gone with the same leather bible tabs that I did for this bible. But, I wanted every bible in this project I'm embarking on to be different in subtle ways, since I was going to be putting a lot of the same notes inside of each one. And I think that the muted grayish blues kinda like… they work. They really work.
Payne's Gray Premium Bible Tabs Old & New
When I saw these, there was no contest. I knew that these would be PERFECT for this bible right here. There was just no contest, I was obsessed— the same gold foil that's on the MAGNIFICENNTTTT (I'm soooo serious, this bible is soooo much more beautiful in person than they let on on the sales page 😩🤌🏾) bible is mimiced on these leatherlike bible tabs. Dreams do come true. 😂
Dark Blue Leather Bible Tabs Gold Foil
Highlighters & Pens
This is like… you can't even really start bible journaling until you have this equipment, can you? 😂
DON'T OVERTHINK IT! You don't need the most trendy or most expensive set out there. I LITERALLY walked into a Walmart, saw my color palette (I like muted tones) and picked it up and walked out with the bag. I liked this set because it came with some ...
Zebra Pen Journaling Set, 7 Sarasa Clip Retractable Gel Pens, 7 Mildliner Highlighters, 14-Count
I dunno, these took me right back to my Lisa Frank gel pen days where I was super colorful with my stationery and loved embellishing my science notes. 😂
Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Brights Pens, Medium Point (0.7 mm), Retractable Assorted Colors, 10 Count
Washi Tape
Now if you're familiar with bullet journaling, then you know that washi tape is king supreme in the embellishment department of art journaling. So of course, I had to invest. Because the bibles deserve it.
I got this set because I saw the color palette could work between all the bibles that I got for my project. They're cute, they're gonna do the job, so I went for it.
Basic Patterns Washi Tape Set, 60 Rolls
This is another area where you don't wanna overthink it. For me (if you're a fellow quilter, you know) these reminded me of Liberty Fabrics so I haddddd to. 🙈
Colored Floral Decorative Washi Tape Set
This is a set I almost bought 😭 I mean, I still might after I go through the washi tape I already have… or just… get it because… I mean lookatit 👀
Slim Washi Tape Gift Set, 40 Rolls
Bookmarks
These are some of my favourite supplies. Honestly, I've just alllwaaayyyssss loved bookmarks, have made my own several times, and just… there's just something really cool about having personalized ones for your bible. 💕
I bought these, I own them, I'm never loaning them out or giving them away. 😂 BUT SERIOUSLY I use them allllll the time now. I think magnetic bookmarks are some of my favourites of all time. 🔖
Double Sided Magnetic Bookmarks, 12 Pack
I. Love. William. Morris. I do, I just love the patterns, and believe that the prints are just divine. 😍 So naturally, here I am with bookmarks that just… GUH! 😩🤌🏾
Galison William Morris – Magnetic Bookmark Set
Bible Covers
Some of the bibles listed above (or maybe you have a bible that you've worn down like I have and just need something to protect it with) I would get a bible cover for JUST BECAUSE even though they're hardcover? They're clothbound. Meaning they can st...
Listen, my girl math was ALL THE WAY OFF when I purchased this for my itty bitty bible some years back 😅 Like I dunno if I was using my ruler in cms or what but the medium will not fit like compact bibles, it's a good decent size. And though it's pr...this bible right here. ♥️
Christian Art Faux Leather Bible Cover - Jeremiah 29:11, Teal Floral, Medium
ISN'T THIS EVERLOVING GORGEOUS?!!?!? 😩😭 I mean, I just couldn't believe my eyes! UGH! I measured it (for real this time) and it was the perfect size for this bible right here, that I already mentioned on this list. BUT! If you like the print but your bible isn't that big (because that bible is MEGA HUGE 👀) then there's this smaller version in the same pattern.
Bella Taylor Quilted Bible Cover - Heirloom Rose
This is another quilted bible cover that I decided to pair with this beautiful art journaling bible because well… it deserved it. And I knew that if this got dirty? I could always spot clean or put it in the wash, unlike the bible that has this luscious clothbound cover.
Bella Taylor Quilted Bible Cover - Burgundy
NOW, LEMME PUT YOU ON! 😭 Okay okay, does this nOt go PErfECtlY wiTH THIS BIBLE?!?!?! Like MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN RIGHT?!?! Seriously though! Like the bible cover is too big, I will tell you that. But then I watched the little video attached to the product before I bought it? And I saw how I could kinda keep it in place with the ...

I love love LOVE how this one is like a purse!! 😍 Going to bible study? Just take this, no tote nece– okay, lemme not lie, I'd still need the tote. 😂
Vegan Leather Bible Cover Purse Style Women
Miscellaneous Art Journaling Supplies
Now these are things that I bought (and also just recommend because I see they've worked for others in this department) to up my game or to help me have more space to take notes in my journaling bibles. 💕
I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a crafter that these sticks always seem to run out so fast! 😭 I mean, I get good use out of them? But I just recommend that if you're committing to bible journaling, just stock up on the big pack because you'll run th...
Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks 30ct
Yah is so good, I got this on such a deal. And when dealing with Hobby Lobby, I truly suggest that you make your purchases when things go on sale. It'll save you coin to you know… buy more bibles or something. 👀
Master's Touch Newsprint Paper Pad
Now, along with the newsprint paper I also got from Hobby Lobby, I got this cardstock pack one, because it's beautiful (I mean duh 😂) and two, because there might be some newpaper clippings or notes that I want to be a liiiitttllleee bit sturdier wh...like in this tutorial.
Amanda Paper Pack - 12" x 12"
BOOKMARKS! 😍 I knew that it just wasn't gonna cut it to have like that one (or two) ribbon bookmark in some of these bibles. I wanted to make some cute bookmarks to add as accessories because… that's just my thing. Accessorizing. 🥰
