Wicked BAJ and Winter Blues

This was the first weekend in a long time that I could pick to do whatever I wanted.  Of course, I crafted and finally started taking the Christmas tree down!

The inspiration challenge at Splitcoastampers.com was all about Hot Chocolate Designs' Pinterest Board - you can see it HERE.  The picture at the top middle right of the board cover that has lime green with black and white stripes  inspired me to finish up this Psalms 106 BAJ page.  I totally forgot I never really finished this page.  I previously drew Elphaba and the words Wickedly, but I didn't like what I had done and I and never colored them in.  This picture inspired me to finish it up with some Gouache paint and a Sharpie.

We are so wicked, and we behave wickedly now and throughout time.  So glad God forgives us.  

When I read Wicked, I felt so convicted about judging people when I should not.  The story really underscores that you can't judge a person without knowing what they have lived through.  You may not even really know yourself - for instance, she didn't know who her real father was until she was older or why things happened to her until it was too late. I loved this book and I love how my page come out.  I am linking this to Erika's January theme of Favorite Things at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.  

Over at Try It On Tuesday everyone has the Winter Blues or is at least channeling them in their creations.  This was a great way for me to use up the last few sheets I had of the Stamperia Cosmos collection.  I love this paper, and used it to make hubby's Valentine.  This is the front:


I added on a wooden snowflake (Close To My Heart) that I inked up with SU! ink and splattered with white paint.  Also added a glittery You.  On the inside, I added the & You part of the glittery 3-D words (they were all melded together previously into You & Me).  

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are doing some fun creating.

Hugz,

Nancy

    Your Wicked page is amazing Nancy. That lime green is a great color. And so true about judging people. WE don't know until we walk in their shoes as the cliche goes. I haven't read the book Wicked, but I did see the play maybe 15 years ago. It was a good one. and I love the owl card. I am a little parialy to owls, but it all works together to make the perfect Winter Blues card. Thanks for joining us at Art Journal JOurney and also at Try It On Tuesday. Much appreciated my friend. Hugs-Erika

    You have a gift for doing journal pages. I'm trying right now to do a jounal of memories for the friend that I lost a few weeks ago. My journal is very simple compared to your fabulous work...but I still forgot how long it takes to make one. I'm making it for my dear friend's daughter.
    Your cards are awesome. My Jim would really like something like that...because he's very fond of owls.

    I love your "Wicked". Impressed with your drawing skill. it is just a perfect Elpheba and looks absolutely fabulous on that lime green. The perfect colouring with the touch of red for her lips.
    Then we come to the card - what a good idea - love the lettering and the owl is beautiful. Was on another blog recently and she had mentioned owls and I said we have one close by which we hear in the night but never see. How I would love to met her. I will make do with your owls, they are gorgeous and hubby will be well pleased with that card. Perfect for Valentines, masculine and not too sopppy. Love it.
    Hugs, Neet xx

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
