Thankful for Acorns, Leaves, and Collage Fodder

Hello friends.

Today I have an art journal page inspired by THIS watercolor video shared by Kia for the Splitcoaststamper.com water color challenge AND Elizabeth's and Bleubeard's **Art*Journal*Journey* theme Collage Fodder or Food and Drink or Both.  I miss everyone at AJJ so I am glad I had some time to play in this challenge. 

I could not find my pencil so I outlined the acorns and leaves with a light paint on watecolor paper. I was too lazy to go back and watch the leaves portion of the video so mine are a bit big and a bit crazy, comparatively. I like them so it all works out. 

The base page is all collage fodder from Taperology  I am addicted to the pretty stuff in that store and someone sent me a package of papers.  Wish I knew who.....I would give them a big hug.  Isn't that Alice Cooper ticket fun?  There was even a faux Beatles ticket in the package. I layered the papers with Gesso and a bit of TH Vintage Photo DOX.

Thanks to Kia, Elizabeth, and Bleubeard for the inspiration, and thanks to you for visiting.

Hugz,

Nancy

    This is such a lovely autumn page Nancy. I just love the background, and is that a touch of gold? It looks lovely to add a bit of shine to it. And you are right, the ticket is such fun. I'm glad you were able to join us at AJJ for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's challenge. Hope you can make it back sometime this month also. Have a lovely rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika

    I googled what collage fodder is, and there were many samplers of them. Because I'm not now interested in hand made tasks, I doubt to make any. Your page is very good and rich of interesting items. Those colorful leaves are the top on it.
    Have an inspiring November xx

    Oh Nancy, that collage fodder background is fabulous. Yes, I love the Alice Cooper ticket and I think that store you sent me to just now is amazing. I can see why you like the items in their store. I was in love with the washi tapes. Your leaves and acorns are beautiful and signify autumn has truly arrived. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this beaut with Art Journal Journey using Bleubeard's and my theme!

    I hope to see you again this month, too, dear!

    I really love your beautiful Autumnal page Nancy! There are so many acorns on the ground around here, the squirrels and Jays are going mad for them.

    What gorgeous images you have used in your collage. I love all things autumnal and these are beautiful - the acorns and the oak leaves. Just beautiful - and therefore a beautiful age you have created.
    Hugs, Neet xx

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!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

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....
