Funky Beer, a Future Roadtrip, and Some Art

Hello friends!

I discovered a fun beer this week at my local rural grocery store (still surprizes me that they find such interesting beers!).  

It is a coffee milk stout from Wiseacre Brewing Company in Memphis, Tennessee.  The name and the can are creative and the beer was outstanding.  I looked them up online and now I want to go visit and try a bunch of their beers - check them out HERE.  They have a restaurant and store too so I am feeling a weekend trip may be in the cards for me after peewee football season is over - lol!

This is my ticket to T-day which I totally missed but I am going to link up anyway and check out what all the other T-day gang has been up to over at Elizabeth's blog (our clubhouse). 

A little art from the week to share too.

Back to school card for my youngest grandson to give to his teacher - I did some stamp surgery on a Sassy Cheryl image and added in his little face from a recent picture. 


Had to make another one for another grandson:


A cute cat and dog card (images are all DRS Designs).  I cut the heads off three stamped images to make this tic-tac-toe grid.  The card fold was cased from Lisa Curcio who was the Featured Stamper this week at Splitcoaststampers.com.  If you want to see her card click HERE.  


Hope you are all having a fabulous week and happy late T-day!

Hugz,

Nancy

    I am so glad I checked the links today. I got caught up in the beer link you sent and I was reminded that I have had Irish Stout (Guinness, of course) and American Stout (Red Hook Brewery in Seattle where I took the tour, and Samuel Adams Stout, which a friend bought at a local liquor store. I would LOVE to visit that store in Memphis. Their Milk Stout sounds wonderful. Sadly, I doubt we get it here. We also have a local brewery that makes stout. When we go, everyone orders the combination, which comes with five different beers. No one wants the stout, so I get everyone else's. I am SO glad you shared this beer and the link, too.

    Those are adorable cards. I bet the teachers will feel extra happy and your grandsons will stand out to the recipients. Nice way to put their foot forward. You are a great advocate for those boys, dear.

    Thanks for sharing those adorable cards and your Milk Stout with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

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...
