A Birthday Wish for Allie


The new Can You Digi It? Challenge is called Button It Up. I needed to make a birthday card for my youngest daughter Allie. She will be 17 today. She loves the beach so I decided to go with a beach theme and use the ReviDevi Sail Away With Us Lighthouse. I also used a few other items from the Can You Digi It? store including a button from the My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up pins and buttons set and the My Favorite Things Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses die. These rolled roses were so fun to make after I watched this video tutorial - before the tutorial they were not so much fun - LOL! After you get the hang of them, you can make them super quickly.

Other supplies used:
Netting from a Babybel Cheese Package
A little crab sent by a friend
SU! cardstock
Hobby Lobby designer papers
Copic Markers
SU! Kraft Ink (for sponging on the edges)

Dig out your buttons and come play in the Can You Digi It? Challenge - you could win a $10 store certificate and the store has some amazing things.

Hugz to all and Happy Birthday to Allie!!!!

    Nancy, your card is so special for your daughter.
    Love the beach scene you created. My granddaughter
    loves the ocean, I am afraid when she is old enough we
    will lose her to warm climates and the ocean!!

    Hugs

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
