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.

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....

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...

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!
