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.

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
