A fun birthday card I made really fast the other day. The paper and ribbon seem to make it. I used some packaging for cream to make the gold butterflies. Hope you have a wonderful Friday.

Hugz!

    So pretty, Nancy. The gold butterflies really pop against that dark paper.

    The 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.
    It 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.

    An elegant card. I have that designer paper, and you are right it's makes great cards...
    Thank 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.

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....

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...

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!
