(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.  

Nancy

    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

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. ...
