A Happy Card

The MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge (Challenge #57) pictures are so GORGEOUS this week!



I would love to know where these places are so I could go visit! Wow!!! Here is my card:

I used the MFP Medallion Set. I mixed heat and stick powder with ultra fine glitter (a complete accident by the way - LOL) for the embossing and then sprayed my paper with Luminarte's Radiant Rain Shimmer Mist in Snapdragon. The sentiments with this set are super sweet so I just made the largest one into a banner. I gifted this to a friend yesterday (along with chocolate) and she smiled all day!

More on this sentiment: I think this sentiment is really spot on. I believe our thoughts control our health, the joy we experience in life, our relationships with others, the quality of work we do, our dreams (nightly and of the future), and even our weight. Studies show that gratefulness can increase your life (HERE is one link to a study on this). I think happy thoughts can do the same. What are your thoughts on this? Oh and HERE is a link to my favorite song which ties into this whole discussion.

Hope you will be inspired to come play too. You don't have to use and MFP image, it doesn't cost anything to join MFP Speedy TV if you aren't already a member (takes less than 4 minutes to join), and all you have to do is be inspired in some way by the image. Shirley always gives away some great MFP image as a prize as well.

Hugz!!!

  2. Your mistake came out beautiful. Isn't it nice that we are such great inventors? LOL. I really like that big bold sentiment and, yes, I completely agree with everything you said about our thoughts. I truly believe that if you have positive, happy thoughts, you will most likely have the same type of life, at least it works for me. Have a fabulous day. Out temps are going up into the 50's today. The last of our snow seems to be melted away. Soon we can get to planting things in the gardens which is always a great thing.

  3. Very pretty card, Nancy. Chocolates and a pretty card would make a person smile all day.
    I checked out the video and that was really what seemed to be a happy bunch of dancers.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
