A bit about Heidi…

You’ll often find Heidi in her Studio creating art or learning & experimenting with new arts and crafts techniques while trying to avoid dipping her paintbrush into her coffee. Heidi enjoys connecting with friends at coffee shops, art making get-togethers, and games nights. Heidi enjoys bringing her iPhone to capture beautiful moments on her nature walks (something that helps motivate her to walk the family dog), and spending time with her three boys and husband. Heidi teaches a variety of art and Bible art journaling workshops from home and in shops mostly in the Saskatoon area.

Heidi’s primary medium of choice is acrylic paint and she loves Mixed Media. You’ll find her dabbling in Watercolour, painting rocks and leaves, creating Bible Art journaling pages, experimenting in her journals, creating cards, carving rubber stamps, wood-burning, creating colouring pages, doodling, lettering, calligraphy, making bookmarks, jewelry and more!! Follow Heidi on her instagram account: @aglimpseofjoy to keep up with her #dailycreative endeavors.

Contact, Connection & Comments

If you want to connect with me (Heidi) or to leave any comments - please fill in the form to send an email. I'll try my best to get back to you in a timely manner. I find that I am more productive (with time management) if I schedule an hour or so to respond to email on certain days, and then set aside similar chunks of time to fill orders or paint - so please don't worry if it takes me a few days to respond. Thanks! Just put <**Attention> at the top of your message if you want a really quick response. I look forward to chatting with you.

You are beloved. Sometimes we need rocks - or other visible reminders in our lives and homes - to remind us of what we know but might loose sight of sometimes. I encourage you to use what you have to make those visible reminders. It’s a way for you to actively encourage yourself!! It also makes a great gift!! #encourageyourself #encourageothers #beloved #rockart #rockpainting #makersgonnamake #dailycreative #aglimpseofjoy

I’m loving how this logo turned out for a local small business! Now to create a logo for ME! 😂 #handcarvedstamps #rubberstampcarving #rubberstamps

In your presence (God’s) is fullness of joy. I love this. #handlettering #faithbasedlettering #moderncalligraphy #bibleart #seekwisdom #bibleverse #dailycreative

Practise seeing the invisible with your heart. 💗 #lettering #lookingup #practisebringsprogress #moderncalligraphy #dailylettering

Pray!! At all times, for all reasons. It’s really about spending time with the one who loves you and seeking His heart for others. #pray #canadianbibleartjournaling #documentedfaith #faithbasedlettering #illustratedfaith #biblejournaling #bibleart #transparency #dailycreative

Outdoor antics! It’s so nice to have a better temperature for some outdoor play! #playinthesnow

It’s snowing outside and that snow pile is getting pretty tall! #boys #playinginthesnow

I’m back to making tags again. Found some sweet vinyl black tags at Micheals to paint! They’ll be reusable (if you use a washable marker on the back of the tag!) #tag #blacktags #vinyltag #handlettering #doodle #drawing #positivethoughts #gifttags #handmade #makersgonnamake #dailycreative

The lightest, fluffiest snow is falling today! #snow #itsawinterwonderland

Sometimes I wish that wisdom was one of those built in features - like the colour of your eyes or the shape of your nose. Not everyone has wisdom. I’m often amazed and grateful to see how much the Bible talks about wisdom because I see it as a very necessary tool to navigate life and relationships. James 1:5 reminds us to ask God for wisdom whenever we need it. I’d like to encourage you to ask him for it anyway - whether you’re in a crisis needing wisdom or in a normal day when you might not even think about it. Cultivate a life of seeking wisdom. Don’t wait for “age” to hand it to you! #wisdom #deepthoughts #canadianbibleartjournaling #documentedfaith #faithit #illustratedfaith #bibleartjournalingcommunity #bibleart #faithbasedlettering #dailycreative #biblejournaling #encouragement #seekwisdom

Hope. It’s on my wall. I can’t tell you how many times in my life that it’s been important to keep “hope” in sight. And now I have the best reminder UP on my wall. I had purchased some time ago from Dayspring just at the start of our home renovations so this is doubly meaningful to me! #hope #gratitude #positivereminders #jesusisourhope #homedecor

Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:14. It’s a good verse for everyday life - but especially for Valentines day! #love #loveverse #documentedfaith #canadianbibleartjournaling #faithbasedlettering #faithit #dailycreative

Honour, Humility and Respect are 3 roots of Prophetic Ministry according to someone on fb that I can’t quite recall. But after thinking on this - love is the much needed 4th one. And really - these are key attributes ideal for any aspect of life, not just for the Prophetic. #propheticlife #handdrawnwords #remember

I attended @artistsworkshop ‘s Open Studio day and it was quite fun! Here is an in-progress shot of one of the two paintings that I started. And yes - I took some artistic liberties with the arrangement. 😂 #painting #stilllife #acrylic #aglimpseofjoy

“Let’s cry out with joy and praise and honour (to God).” This is my paraphrase from Revelations 19. I wanted a quick layout that felt meaningful, quick, brighter and hopefilled for Revelations. I’m so happy with how this fits the bill! Letter stickers are on a transparency which was printed from one of my art pieces! And that awesome washi tape is still my all time fav from Adorn-it!! Have a great day everyone! #bibleartjournaling #canadianbibleartjournaling #adornit #illustratedfaith #faithit #documentedfaith #bibleart #bibleartcommunity #joy #dailycreative #aglimpseofjoy

If there ever was a day to stay cosy in bed, it sure would be nice for that to be today! But I drove the kids to school and tried to warm up the van. It feels like -51 C today. The intense fog in spots sure made the morning look magical. But along Spadina, since I’m close to the river, visibility was very poor in places (not 24km like the weather stats say!) #polarvortex #brrrr #magical #winterwonderland #makesmartchoices #dresswarm

We have a nice bit of snow in the backyard!! #snow #winterwonderland #inmybackyard #yxe

I made this lantern in an online class some years ago. It is still one of my favourite things! #lantern #paper #papercrafting #whereartandcraftcollide #handmade #grateful

I’ll be using this and a few other pieces to inspire some ladies at a Ladies Event this Friday for All Nations church! I’m looking forward to it! #bibleartjournaling #canadianbibleartjournaling #workshopswithHeidiGuenther

I was asked to write on some menu boards at a local store! I had such a great time and learned more than I expected (since I was working on a larger scale project than I usually do!) Thank you @kennedysparable #menusigns #handlettering #chalkmarkers #shoplocal #yxe
