Wellies

Wellies is such a fun word to me - not sure why, but it makes me smile when I say it. I don't own any Wellies, but I have a pair picked out if I ever decide to get some. At MFPSpeedyTV, the Inspiration challenge this week is "Get Creative with those Wellies" and there are some pretty inspiring Wellies:




So fun!

I took a bit of inspiration from all of them:

I used stamps from the following MFP sets:

Works of Art
Columns and Toparies
Glad Glads
Ivy and Blossoms
You've Got Style

My paper is from The Paper Studio and SU!, the inks are Tim Holtz (using the Wrinkle Free Distress technique), the glitter is from Sparkle n Sprinkle, and the ribbon was a sweet birthday present. In case you want to see the Wellies I have picked out here they are:


Hope you are inspired by the fun Wellies in the challenge and join us in the MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge.

Hugz!

    Wow! Nancy, what a fine job you did with the Wellies inspiration. I love all these flowers stuck down in there. You have lots of wonderful sparkle and used some fab papers.

    Your card is absolutely adorable (don't forget to enter it into the SNS Creative Challenge). I have to say though, the wellies you have chosen made me laugh out loud. I've never seen cowboy boot wellies and they are just too fun. Living in the Northwest for a number of years, wellies were the shoe of choice most of the time. These would have been perfect.

    I assume "Wellies" are what I call boots. In any case all the ones in your post today are cute, but yours are by far the best and the most snazzy. That card is just stunning. Have a wonderful day.

    Holy smokes look at this. Your card is dynamite. I love your glittered Wellies. I don't have any either-not sure I could walk in those babies....I am thinking I would stub my toe in them....lol Love the colors and the beautiful shading in the flowers on this one. It's fantastic.

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 ...
