Some Fun with Edward and William

I love William Shakespeare - I don't mean I love to read him, but I love to watch his plays, movies made from his plays, and specific parts of his writings. I love the cool parts of Hamlet - like the "To Be or Not To Be" speech. I also love Edward Sissorhands (actually I love Johnny Depp but since he played Edward, I love Edward). So when I saw the Haunted Design House challenge for this week, I knew I wanted to use these two Octopode Images. The challenge is called "Off With Their Heads." I put Edward's head on William and William's head on Edward. I had a little fun with William's writings as well.


What fun to play with these characters. I think Wiliam would think this is great (look how cool he looks - how could he not think this is great?). Johnny, I mean Edward, might not be too happy about it.

I copied some parts of Hamlet onto some plain white cardstock, printed out Edward/Johnny and William on another sheet with the same parts of Hamlet, colored the characters with Copics, added some Zva Crysals on the eyes and William's new cool body, and sponged around the edges. I then cut the sentiment up and sponged it and added some K&Co findings to the bottom and the corners. I just had to add some sparkle, so I put some Stickles all around the edges.

Tame for the Haunted Design House, but I sure had fun!!!!

Hugz to all!

  5. Nancy, you are having the 'bestest' fun with these Octopode images. I would like to be with you crafting when you're making your creations with them. I can just see your eyes light up. Speaking of eyes, those beaded ones here kind of scare me...like they are looking right at me. Yikes! Good job, friend!!

  6. So interesting, Nancy! Benzi is right: you are having so much fun with Octopode (and I had never even heard of them before you began using 'em), and doing quite a good job I might say!

    I especially love that you mixed their bodies for fun, and all that text in the background looks good with the images, plus there's the connection to Mr. Shakespeare with all those words. (what a wordy, run-on sentence: I apologize)

    Happy Easter, Nancy!

  10. Since this is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, I will post the recipe here! (I lost the sticky note somewhere in my HUGE bag of everything!)

    Jacoria's Crockpot Hashbrown Casserole

    1 Bag of Hash browns
    1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
    Sour cream
    Maple sausage
    shredded cheese (as much as you like and whatever kind you like)
    *green onions
    Butter (like a quarter of a stick)

    Mix everything together (don't drain the sausage)
    Mixture should be a little moist but not soupy

    Put it all in the slow cooker for about 2 hours
    or put it in the oven 375 for about 45 minutes (OR until it looks yummy)

    For work today I double the recipe, but only used one tube of sausage, so if you are using the recipe above you may want to use a half tube of sausage.

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
