A home-based inspirational gift company that has seen phenomenal growth in just three years came to life after its founder experienced a case of severe baby blues.

“ScriptureArt got started in the summer of 2010 after I gave birth to my third child,” Kelly Shiley said. “I was struggling with post-partum depression. I had index cards with scriptures taped up all over the downstairs that I read at 2 a.m. when I was up with the baby. They really helped pull me through that tough time.

“One day during that dark time, I went running, and God spoke to me and gave me the idea to design peel-and-stick scripture to put on my wall,” she said. “When I got back from that run, I tried to buy some on the Internet. All I could find was Dora the Explorer, Spider-Man, Star Wars, etc. There was no peel-and-stick scripture.”

Seeing the lack of such product started Shiley’s journey “to find the highest quality, made-in-America vinyl on the market and put beautiful scriptures on it to inspire all those around me,” she said.

Shiley had no idea it would turn into the company it is today, but says she is “beyond blessed to be able to spread God’s Word in such a practical way.”

Shiley has seen ScriptureArt products carried by more than 800 stores in all 50 states since the company formally launched in 2011. Click here to learn more about the North Carolina company in the September issue of Inspirational Gift Mart.
