A Flakey Friend

Life is too short not to have crazy friends. When I think of crazy friends, I think of my oldest friend, Veronica, who has a birthday this week. We have been friends since Junior High which is when we were our craziest. When I called her last week, we had some big laughs discussing some of our escapades, and I had to admit those were some of the best times of my life. She has been there for me through everything in life, so this fun card is traveling in the mail to her right now.


The card was kickstarted by this fun picture and color pallet from the Art Nudge challenge. If you are interested in participating in the challenge, HERE is the link and this is challenge number: ARTNUDGE125A. There are 3 inspirations each month that are posted 3 weeks out of the month, so you have many chances to win. You can also find the inspiration posts and posts by the design team for the challenge HERE on Facebook. 

This challenge is open to any type of art including but not limited to paintings, cards, tags, journal pages, calendar pages, 3D projects, and altered items. Here is the inspiration board:


To create my card, I sketched and painted the snowman and background, stamped the retired sentiment from DRS Designs, and added the funky hat (folded faux flower). This was super fun to make.

If you come join in the fun, be sure to link up your created item(s) on and to the ArtNudge website so you are eligible to win prizes. 

Hugz,

Nancy

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!

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....
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!!
