Wine of the Week, Wine on TV, and Art

Happy T-day friends!  


The wine of the week for me was The Uprising.  Such a fun name.  It was pretty good - I would buy it again if it comes back on sale.  Isn't the label fun?

I am having a glass of it right now while watching a wine themed movie on Hallmark called Paris, Wine and Romance. 

Such a sweet movie, and how wonderful to see the glimpes of Paris.  I want to try her pinot wine they are all chatting about in the movie.  Wish it was a true story.  I am not normally a Hallmark movie fan, but I am totally enjoying this sappy happy treat.  The wine and the movie are my ticket so I can hang out with the T-day gang at Elizabeth's. 

Art for the week.

Today's technique and CAS challenges on Splitcoaststampers.com were about back to school and lots of ink colors. The sentiment is from Riley & Co and the ruler is from DRS Designs. The ink was applied using reinkers applied directly to a sponge - fun technique. 

Played with some new to me dies from Spellbinders. I watercolored this basket and sponged the leaves and flowers.  Super fun to create this birthday card for my sweet oldest daughter, Crystal. 
Also I tried the water color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com again.  The images are from SU! Good Morning Magnolia. I tried to do it all with no lines but had to add back a few.
Happy t-day and hugz,

Nancy

    Although I'm not a wine drinker, I would buy that for the label alone. It is wonderful. Laughed that it was aged for 30 days. Not very long for wine.

    I just can't get into the Hallmark Channel, although I like HMM for the mysteries. I have never been able to get into chick flicks. Glad you enjoyed it and you want to try that wine.

    LOVE your cards, Nancy. They are wonderful. I have ONE black Staz-on and one black dye ink pad, but I have a TON of reinkers (dye, solvent, pigment, and distress). They are so useful for everything. Glad to read you use reinkers, too. Love that ruler background.

    Thanks for sharing your incredible cards, your movie, and your wine with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    That wine bottle is fabulous, it would make a wonderful candle holder for parties! Your art is beautiful, as always, and my fave piece is the gorgeous card for your lovely daughter! The other cards are both fabulous, too. I'm not a friend of the Hallmark Channel, murder and mayhem are more my thing! Happy T Day, and have a wonderful week, hugs, Valerie

    You created some very beautiful cards, Nancy. I especially like the one for your daughter. To answer your question, yes, the wine we had in Alsace is really good. I tried Gewürztraminer, a Rosé and a Riesling which was my favorite. Riesling in that are usually pretty dry which I prefer. I'm not a big fan of overly sweet wine.

    Beautiful artwork, Nancy. I love watching Hallmark movies. I just watched one Sunday night. It was about a ranch. LOL I can't remember what else. I haven't see the one about Paris yet. I will watch for it. Happy T Day.

    Dear Nancy,
    the wine label looks really adventurous - you can tempt me with that too :-D It's fine if the wine also tastes good and is accompanied by a suitable film.
    I like your cards - I am particularly impressed by the basket with the red flowers!
    All the best and happy T Day

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!

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
