An Auburn Wreath

Living in Alabama, you must chose whether you are an Auburn fan or an Alabama fan.  It doesn't matter if you are not from Alabama or you have another team you support, you have to pick one or the other so you have something to tell everyone who asks you.  I have lived here for 26 years and I have to say that I can't pick - I like them both.  I really do! 

The Squigglefly challenge this week is to make a Christmas card and you get a "bonus" if you make it with non-traditional colors.  Since I was watching the Auburn game when I colored up this lovely Large Holly Wreath with Bow by Pam Lehto, I decided to color it Auburn colors.  I will be sending it to one of my many Auburn fans. 


Hope you have a chance to join in the challenge with us this week!

    What?????? An Auburn wreath. Well, you did say you like both. You'll just have to make an Alabama wreath very soon, though. HA Your wreath and card are very pretty but can't you just image it in red and white? You know what a fanatic football fan I am. O.K., I'm going away. LOL

    Our weather here in Texas at Christmas is more like autumn so I love your card!!! Really like those stars on it too. So beautiful.

    Well, my daughter received her Master's from Univ. of Alabama so she doesn't even have to waver on who he's for! LOL! I think they're two great teams!

    That's such a pretty wreath and I love the star accents! I suppose it's a good thing I don't live in the south, because I'm not a football fan in any way, shape, or form! LOL

    War Eagle! Love your wreath. I didn't choose for the longest time and said I was a Oregon Ducks fan, but when my son decided to go to Auburn, my decision was made :-)

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....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
