Warm Fuzzy Slippers

Hello friends.

Did you get anything fun for Christmas?  

I told my hubby I wanted some new slippers just like the ones I wear every day.  He couldn't find them so he bought me two new styles which I love  - especially the fuzzy boot ones.  They came on a very cool chipboard hanger which I immediately thought would make a fun journal page!  I could have altered the hanger but I wasn't feeling it and used it just like it was.

I used little torn pieces of leftover Christmas tissue paper to make my slippers and I took a few liberties with the My Favorite Things lyrics.  The page is covered with Willow ink from CTMH which I splattered with water. 

I had so much fun making this page this morning at 4:00AM, and it fits perfectly with Erika's Favorite Things theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.  

The first day back at work wasn't too bad - let's hope today is the same.  Hope yours is full of your favorite things.

Hugz,

Nancy

    I think it was more clever not to alter the hanger and to make those fuzzy slippers. They are very very cool!!! I like how you added the song too, because warm fuzzy slippers are the best. I forgot they are part of the lyrics. I always think of the girls in white dresses and warm woolen mittens. OK, now I will drive the dogs nuts by singing. Smile. This is a super page Nancy, and I am glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey. I hope your new slippers are as fun as the ones you created. Thanks for joining us, and hope to see you at Try It On Tuesday too. Hugs-Erika

    I love this! Your are so creative! Your Journals are such keepers! (with so many neat memories in them) When I first started blogging. I used to do a page every week showing my favorite things...maybe I should post one or two of those again ...with going down memory lane theme, and maybe some new ones too. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Love this! I like that you made some 'slippers' and added those words to the actual hanger! 4a.m.???....did you go back to bed afterwards? I sometimes find that a quick play in my craft room when I'm wide awake helps me get back to sleep! Hugs, Chrisx

    Such a fun journal page and a lovely way to recycle the hanger from your slippers! Loving the fluffy tissue paper slippers too with the bows and the wording made me smile - perfect 😁. Happy January! Hugs, Jo x

    What a clever hubby to get you slippers that you like.
    The tissue paper slippers are fun and it's a great idea to use the real slippers' hanger.
    Happy New Year!

    What a brilliant idea to make some fluffy slippers from strips of tissue - I thought at first they were the actual slippers you got. That is now one cool idea to use the hanger in the way you did and it is the second time I have seen that song mentioned on a blog post tonight. Now I really cannot get the song out of my head - good job it is a happy one. I might have a lovely dream now.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    A fabulous idea with the hanger and the song. Love your alteration on it. Tissue paper has so many uses. I get my watercolour pens from Arteza. Don't buy very cheap ones from China, they are a waste of money.

    Still playing catch-up, but I love what you have done with this song. I see what you mean when you left that message on my blog about your entry. I really like the way you used the hanger for those adorable slippers. It was a great take on this very popular song. It's also perfect for Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey. Great entry, dear.

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.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This
