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....
So pretty, Nancy. The gold butterflies really pop against that dark paper.
ReplyDeleteThe snow came for a while but the flakes were so tiny I could hardly see them. Just a few miles away, it was really coming down from what I saw on the news. Shucks! I want a big snow. :-)
Fabulous design and great paper choices. I can see how it would make itself.
ReplyDeleteIt took us 6 1/2 hours to come from Nashville to B'ham yesterday. Normally, it's a 3 hour drive. I almost typed in "tour" instead of drive as the Gilligan's Island song popped in my head :-). Cullman County was a nightmare to go through - lots of ice and snow and wrecks on I-65. Luckily we made it safely, but wouldn't want to drive through that stuff again.
This is so sophisticated, Nancy, and I adore those lovely warm colors. A beautiful creation for this fine Friday! I hope you have a super weekend, my friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteAn elegant card. I have that designer paper, and you are right it's makes great cards...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comments on my blog...In regard to my paper bag books. I find them to be very addicting, I want to make a couple more. I like the fact, that not only are they easy to make, they are also quite inexpensive too. I like your idea of putting recipes, etc. in the paper bag pockets. In fact, one of the friends that I gave the book to, is going to make one herself, and do just that...make it a recipe book with extra recipes in the pockets to pull out.
Very elegant! Love that you let the beautiful DP do the work! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteYummy paper and I just love the shape of your focal panel - not to mention the gold butterflies. Great card!
