Wreath Frenzy

Hello friends.  I am still around in blog land and have a new post today.  It is all about wreaths.  I have been on a wreath kick in my card making and thought I would share some that I have made this past week(s).

This card was made last week using the DRS Designs 4-in-1 Harvest Designs image.  It has 4 smaller images (flowers, nuts, leaves, and a pumpkin). I added a few Holiday Greens die cuts behind the wreath to give it more depth, and  I did my fave ink/spray/smash background.  The sentiment is the 1 line Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from DRS Designs.
On this next wreath, I stamped the DRS Designs Potted Berry Tree image a bunch of times and let my Grandsons color them with their fingers.  When they were done, I fussy cut the trees, added some Stickles to some of the berries and then sprinkled it all with gold micro beads.  The sentiment is the Christmas Especially to You Greeting (my favorite one).
The next wreath is made with the leaves from the Harvest Designs stamp I used on the first wreath above.  I colored up the leaves with Lemon ink from CTMH and Vintage Photo Distress ink (I used my fingers).  My three year old Grandson sponged a plaid stencil to make my background (I taped it down really good).  The embossing folder on my "door" is from SU!  The inside of the wreath is the Thanks Be to God stamp which I plan to use in my Bible Art Journaling. 
One last wreath to share.  The leaves are from the same Harvest Designs stamp and the Merry Christmas Especially To You Greeting used in some of the cards above.  I also used the same EF as the card above.  This time I colored everything with a mossy green, added some die cut stars which I sparkled up with silver Stickles, and then flecked on some SnowTex for a snowy feel. 
I loved making these wreaths.  They put my in a holiday spirit and all that fussing cutting helped to relieve some stress.  I did it all while watching Halmark Christmas movies. 

Many hugz,

Nancy

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 ...
