(Spooky) Adventure is Worthwhile

The next few weeks are some of my favorite weeks of the year - they are normally mild weather (Central Alabama), everyone seems to be in a Halloween mood, and my birthday is the day after Halloween.  

Try It On Tuesday has a Halloween theme right now and Tracey picked My Favorite Colour is October theme for **Art*Journal*Journey* so I did a Halloween page in my Dylusions Journal. 

The page was first sponged with Distress Oxides.  The house, witch, wheat, and fence are all from DRS Designs (I covered the house in Black Stickles), Jack is a button (purchased at Walmart), and the saying is from Tim's Small Talk Sticker pack.

Super fun page to create.  I hope you have some fun Halloween plans.  All mine involve family, candy, fun drinks, and tasty party food.

    I like this seasonal scene -the eerie atmosphere with that misty moon. The colors are perfect!

    I love your page Nancy. What a great idea to use a button for the face. And using that skeleton hand in your photo gives great atmosphere too. Have a super Halloween and birthday too. Do you celebrate for the day or for the whole week coming up? I like to expand mine as much as possible..smile. Thanks for sharing at both Try It on Tuesday and also at AJJ for Tracey's challenge. Hugs-Erika

    There is lots to see here, but one of my favorite things is the moon and the background where you have created a bit of cloud cover over it. That bit of atmosphere gave this spread an extra OOF. I absolutely adore it all, though. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey using Tracey's theme, dear. I am looking forward to your Halloween celebration and your birthday, too.

    "Oh Nancy, what boney hands you have" (all the better to create with my dear - aka Red Riding Hood). Love your page in your Dylusion Journal. It really does light up in the centre with the huge moon. A lovely fenced off house, scarecrow and little witch along with the wheat growing in the field all add to making this a super page. So atmospheric with that moon. Love it!
    Hugs, Neet xx

    Nancy this is an amazing journal page, love how the subtle light of the moon caught the witch on her broomstick. Jack looks incredible as he stands ready to spook the world and wade through the corn. What an awesome Halloween scene this is.
    Thanks so much for sharing over @ Art Journal Journey and joining my October theme.
    I hope you have a fabulous Halloween celebration with the family Hugs Tracey xx

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!
