Lines, Leaves, Flowers and a Ghost!

 Hello crafty friends!


Today I am sharing some recent makes.


The first is a bible journaling page I did yesterday after watching THIS lovely video by AhMadArt on YouTube.  I tried both her scenes and techniques.  I didn't do the little water scene that great, but I love how my bible journaling in Psalms came out.  I definitely will try something like it again.  


So fun and splattering, painting, and thinking of how God is with us, was very calming!  I am also linking this to the **Art*Journal*Journey* theme for October which is Hold the Line (Lines).  Such a fun theme that Chris chose.

All was done with my $6 watercolor set because it is the easiest to find and use.  

Here are a few more creations:



I drew the tulips and embossed and painted the embossing on the background.  This was for two challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  It is going off to a lovely lady turning 102 that loves bows and red&yellow tulips.



This last one is a spooking Halloween card I made after losing a ghost magazine between the grocery store and home - true story!!  Used all DRS Designs stamps including the recent leaning ghost and Mountain and Treeline 2-in-1 stamp.  Lots of sponging and distressing on the background and the main panel.  


Thanks for stopping by!


Hugz, Nancy

    Beautiful trees on your "line" page Nancy. It is perfect for Chris' challenge and for Art Journal JOurney. Thanks for joining us. Your other art is beautiful also. I love the spooky ghost piece too. And did you get my email the other day? I had a question for you. Have a great start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika

    Wow, Nancy, three wonderful pieces! Love the trees and dappled leaves in your Bible journaling, and the tulips, and that gorgeous ghost. I think a bored ghost must have stolen your ghost magazine, they can be so naughty! Thanks so much for linking your beautiful art to AJJ, much appreciated, hugs, Valerie

    3 More Stunners! I saw your tulip card at Splitcoast and did a double take when I realized that your drew them! The first card and journal page...There's not enough words to give it justice...Just amazing work.

    Oh Nancy! I am very happy seeing this inspirational page liked to my theme at Art Journal Journey. I have already taken myself off to look at the video and really want to get back to my Bible journaling so Thank you for the nudge! Your tulip drawing is also wonderful! Your little ghost looks quite indignant that your magazine went missing! Have a great weekend, Chrisx

    I'm incredibly late visiting, but couldn't wait to see what beauties you had created for us. I was especially impressed with the page you created for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey. It is stunning, but so are the tulips and your ghost card. It's too bad you lost the magazine, but it was great inspiration for that entry. Thank you again for linking at Art Journal Journey.

    That is a gorgeous watercolour card, such a lovely peaceful scene.
    The Halloween card is stunning with the complex background and the really sweet ghost.
    I wonder how your ghost magazine managed to make its escape between shop and home.
    The tulip card is beautiful too.

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!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
