Wings and Banners


This week's Haunted Design House Challenge (HDH135) is called Distressed Mistress or Pass the Distressing. The goal is to distress your creation. I chose the LilyPink Designs Bingo Dress Form and Wings from Can You Digi It? and I distressed my image by cutting it on the edges, using a stylus to cup so the wings curled, and I also sponged on some SU! Kraft Ink for color distressing. I added an extra layer of wings for more wing volume. All my cardstock is SU! and all the dp is from Hobby Lobby's Everyday Kraft Stack. I ink distressed all the papers. I love the little banner buttons and the button I used on the free space of the bingo dress form - they are all from My Minds Eye (available at Can You Digi It?).

I used the ultra fun sketch from Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Challenge.

I have felt pretty distressed lately, but after crafting this morning, I am feeling a bit more relaxed. Hope you are all having a great day! Hugz!!!

Other supplies used:
SU! Bakers Twine
Zva black and clear Crystals (from the Crystal Wheel)

    This is wonderful Nancy. I saw this Kraft stack at Hobby Lobby too. I just adore that sweet banner across the top-one of my favorite design elements. I hope you get to "de-stress" soon. I have been praying for you.

    Bear Hugs,
    Carol

    I really like that bingo dress form and your little banner is so cute. I'm happy you get to craft a little...I'm sure it helps take your mind away from the hard times you've gone through lately. Praying for better days ahead.

    For our full thoughts on Windows Phone 7 -- a feature that could almost singlehandedly make these devices impossible to ignore for serious business users regardless of sexcam their seemingly consumer-centric

    Follow the instructions here on how to get and use it, then
    there's no reason to think that it exists. This is because the rate of success will be balanced by the higher pregnancy loss rates and prematurity associated with fleshlight twins. All set up Print on your computer, you can still come across the remains of hotels and motels.

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 ...
