I’m a Creativity Mentor for Christian artists, makers, and crafty girls who have always known they were different. The ones who feel restless in traditional jobs, light up when they create, and know deep down they’re called to build something of their own.

Hi, I’m Nancy Joseph (aka The Lipstick Boss) —artist, author, speaker, and lover of all things lipstick, paper, and glitter. God has always had a plan to use my creativity in His Kingdom, and I’m thrilled to be doing what I was born to do.

I spent 17 years running a thriving craft business with my husband—designing country gift items, primitive sewing patterns, and handmade dolls. After a 19-year detour exploring other creative adventures (including running my own lipstick company), God called me back to: creating as a Kingdom artist and mentoring Christian artists, makers and crafty small business owners.

Helping You Get Ready

Years ago God gave me a vision: Help her get ready. I know now He was speaking to creative Christian women, the ones longing to step boldly into their calling. My mission is to help you embrace your beauty, walk confidently in your purpose, and thrive creatively while drawing closer to Him.

Creative Journaling is my Jam!

I’ve been journaling since I could write, starting with a diary that had a lock and key. Over the past decade, I’ve taken my journals to the next level—adding color, texture, and mixed media to make the process joyful, reflective, and healing.

Then, I reimagined my original cloth doll designs into paper art dolls to spark joy in your journaling journey—playful companions that bring delight, whimsy, and encouragement to your pages. Through my journals and dolls, I hope you find freedom, creativity, and a deeper connection with God.

A Little About Me

When I’m not making creative art journals or paper dolls, you’ll probably find me:

• Walking on the beach, visiting the botanical gardens, and listening to worship music (Brandon Lake forever!)
• Hunting for quirky treasures while thrift shopping
• Spending time with my high school sweetheart of 42 years
• Catching up on beauty trends, new products and watching HGTV

Christian Speaker Helping Women Discover Who They Are and Why They’re Here

They called me “Loud Mouth Lucy” growing up, and honestly… they weren’t wrong. God has always used my voice, my stories, and my love of connection to encourage, inspire, and invite women to step more fully into who He created them to be. As an award-winning speaker, I blend faith, storytelling, and a little humor to help others see themselves (and their calling) more clearly.
