Catching Up!

I haven't posted in a month, but I have been busy! 

Christmas was so fun - the Grandboys add so much pleasure to the holidays.  It was a Lego, Transformer, and Games Christmas.  I love to play with them all and they are still small enough that they let me! LOL

My highlight of the season (other than my new giant Journaling Bible) was when Grandboy #2 decided I could be something other than a decepticon when we play Transformers.  I had been regulated to playing the bad guys for a few months, but somehow made it to the good guy side.  Yay!  Another highlight was when Grandboy #1 and #3 decided that making cards with Nan was more fun than going home or to the other Grand's house.  I agree!

Here are a few of my recent projects:

So fun playing with some of the millions of cardboard boxes we had this Christmas season.  Remind self:  buy stock in whoever Amazon gets their boxes from.  Added in a few SU! chickens, some paint, and my trusty Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo (every project needs it).  I ended up putting this on a card.  The friend who received it loved it as she has chickens.

 
This one is hubby's Valentine's Day card.  I love the colors and the way all these SU! images came out.  These are some of my favoite sets and that is one of my favorite sentiments of all time. 


After a recent Splitcoaststamper,com Easel Card challenge, I can't seem to stop making them!  The left card uses my favorite new SU! set (Snow Front) and the one on the right uses DRS Designs images.

Hubby bought me these cute gnome images for Christmas and I love them!  So fun to watercolor.


I am always up for a bacon and eggs card!  Made the eggs and bacon using layers of gel medium and water colors.  Love how happy this card feels.


This is the inside of a fun birthday card/journal I made for my son-in-law.  Didn't take as long as I thought to construct it so I will making some more!!!  The next picture is the cover. 


He loved this!


I made a bunch of manly hunting cards - thinking I may try to sell them at one of the gun shows hubby sets up at.   Close to my Heart images and stencil is Altenew. 


More playing with SU! Snow Front set. 

Now you are pretty much all caught up with my creations.  I will try to get around soon and catch up on what you have been doing soon.  Thanks for coming by and visiting!

    Thanks for sharing your super-fabulous fun projects and special Christmas memories with the grandboys. I love each of them, but the made from scratch bacon and eggs is too neat. Yes, you should try to sell your cards at your hubby's booth and good luck if you do!

    Wow, Nancy! You catch up with a WOWZA! Each card is so unique and gorgeous - I can't even with that chicken card! How adorable! And the softness and elegance of the purple deer winter scene is just absolutely fablous and can we talk about those bacon 'n eggs?!! So fun! I would say for sure check out the booth - you just never know unless you give it the best college try! Hugs!

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 ...
