Squigglefly Fever

Fun, fun, fun. I am one of the newest Squigglefly DT members - how fun is that! I have always loved the place with all the zillions of image choices.

This past week someone sent me an email that had some precious pictures of older people having fun and one of the sayings was: "put a twinkle in your wrinkle." I vowed to make a card with that saying the minute I read it. I found this unbelievably fun Lynne Stansbery Image called Smile Pretty. Used some glossy accents on those glasses. This card so makes me smile!


I also made a card for last week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge on SCS - the challenge was to do a card with Harley's or Americana or both. I used the American Pie image by Cheryl Alger. I stretched the pie out to make the star look more even but it looks so much more fun when it is a mile high like it was drawn.


The card is going in the mail to someone who needs a bit of encouragement due to some serious health issues. Inside it says:"and chocolate, key lime, lemon, pecan, chocolate pecan, pumpkin, cherry cream cheese, sweet potato, or any other kind of pie you like!"

Hope you all had a great weekend and that this week is full of many blessings!

Hugz!

    I knew you would have something on your kitchen counter today. And, what a fun card with the first one. That sentiment is perfect for the old man.

    Love your next card and I'm sure it will be a bright spot in the recipient's day.

    I see you have some good new to share, too. A BIG congrats on your new DT position. You'll wow them, that's for sure.

    So happy you are on the Squigglefly team. What fun. Yikes, does Kenny know you have a man on your kitchen counter today? :) I love this card, it is cute and you have colored it wonderfully. I like the pie card, too, I will take a piece of each flavor, please.

    Nancy your cards are wonderful! I really love the sentiment you used the Smile Pretty image - it's perfect and makes me smile! The glossy accents on the glasses is great too. Super coloring! Your pie card is such a great choice for the teaparty recipient! I love what you put on the inside of the card too. Everyone at Squigglefly is so thrilled to have you join us!

    Beautiful cards Nancy!! Love the twinkle in your whiskers card - your coloring on the elderly gent there is perfection, and I love the sentiment too. Also loved the apple pie card - beautiful design and wonderful sentiment - inside and out!

    Oh my gosh, Nancy, like you are running on all cylinders here! - Congrats on the Squigglefly DT - you have so many wonderful and off the wall ideas - I am always so pleasantly surprised by your wonderful cards.

    The older gent is the perfect subject for this sentiment you found and I love how you framed him out - the Americana card from last week's teaparty I missed, sad to say, but it is Americana and tradition at its best, for sure! Love the checkered and red and blue BG and your rusty star is a great embellishment! A very sweet card to lift someone's spirits!! Sending lots of hugs - yes, I finally made it here!!

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 ...
