Lots of Fun Art Journaling and a Few Cards

 Hello crafty friends,


I had fun creating this weekend.  Here are some of my creations - the ones I am willing to share - LOL.


My first one is in my new journaling book and it was inspired by THIS picture on the SCS inspiration challenge and Valerie's Heavy Metal Theme (the Stickles Gel has metallic circles in it) at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.   This kind of reminds me of my hair color right now as I am trying to go all gray and my stylist is mixing in a few different colors to help.  


I played with some Stickles gel that had stars in it too so it also fits the AJJ theme.  If you like Big Bang theory like I do you might get a kick out of my Sheldon-isms.

I did a few BAJ pages too. This one was on the page starting the New Testament in my journaling Bible.  I used torn book and hymnal pages for the maintains and clouds.  It was loosely done after watching a watercolor video from the SCS watercolor challenge this past week. 

More painted circles in Philippians.

Made a few cards this past week too.

This first one is almost all Stamperia Forest goodies - an old SU! sentiment from Elements of Style.  I was a case of THIS card by Dawn Mercedes on SCS  - she was the featured stamper this week. 

Made these pumpkin square recipe cards for the recipe card swap with my scrapbook group.  Was inspired by the midmonth inspiration challenge on Mission Inspiration (Facebook group).  We were supposed to use hands.  I dipped my hands in ink and stamped them on to resemble a well used recipe card. LOL.  
I did this card for last week's Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS. It was inspired by THIS card by Linda (hotwheels).  I know it looks nothing like it but things in my head just took a different direction.  The image and sentiment are new at DRS Designs. 
Thanks for dropping by.  I really appreciate it!

    So much fantastic art Nancy. You did have a fun weekend. I love the idea of glitter in my hair rather than grey. Smile. Thanks for sharing them with us at Art Journal Journey. It was fun seeing these creations. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika

    Lovely pages and cards - the earthy colour tones and lovely layering of the deer card particularly appeal to me, and I enjoyed the bubbles of Sheldon-isms!

    A super collection of makes Nancy, you have been busy! I love the first journal page, I must have lots of strands of glitter in my hair, I gave up dying it years ago, they are all fabulous though. The Stamperia card is gorgeous, I think this is my favourite Stamperia collection and the recipe cards are a great idea, super inking on the final card - I should think you need another weekend to rest after creating all of these!

    Wow, so many fabulous pages and cards today - live them all! The grey hair of your beautiful green eyed lady is amazing, it reminds me that my hair could do with some TLC as our hairdressers are closed at the moment with lockdown ...lol 😉. The Forest Stamperia card is so beautifully layered too! Wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x

    What a lovely idea to describe grey hairs as strands of glitter and it's a lovely painting too.
    I read all your Sheldonisms and enjoyed and then got distracted trying to find from Mr. Google what Sheldonism is. Not sure I am any the wiser.
    The cards are great too. The one with the deer is very complex.

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....

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...
