T is for Treasure Hunting

 Hello friends.


Happy late T-day to my T-day buddies over at Elizabeth's blog where we celebrate anything related to drinks (anyone can join, your post has to have something related to drinks). This week, Elizabeth is showing us some really fun mugs she ran across at one of her favorite stores.

I went treasure hunting last week and found a really fun mug. My grandson and I call visiting flea markets, garage sales and thrift stores Treasure Hunting. The mug was so cute I had to bring it home. 

The inside actually sold me:

I also have a few cards related to drinks:
This was my first pop-up box, and it was done for last week's WT challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com. 

This one was made using Stamperia Alice paper and was done for a patterned paper challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com.  I left out a word in the sentiment that I will fix before sending it off. 

Hope you have a great rest of the week.

Hugz,

Nancy

    I love that name. Treasure Hunting is perfect, and you did find a great spring treasure too. And I've wanted to try one of those pop up box cards. I keep seeming to forget about them, so maybe now that your reminded me about them, I may give one a try. Yours is super Nancy. In fact both of your cards are. Have a wonderful rest of your week, and I hope it was a super T day. hugs-Erika

    I wonder what is the difference between a mug and a cup. I like your new item, but to me it’s a cup. Any name — it’s still cute.

      It is a cup, Mae - lol. I used mug generically.

    Sorry I'm so late visiting. I wasn't even on the internet yesterday.

    I LOVE that new mug. It's adorable. I love the idea of treasure hunting, too. And finding that new mug was worth it!

    I love a good pun and best POP is fabulous. Of course, I adore that Alice in Wonderland inspired card. Thanks for sharing the drink inspired cards and then new mug you shared with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

    Oh how fun it is to "treasure hunt"! Love that beautiful cup you've found and with that wording inside! The pop-up card box is so fun and I love the pop bottles with it...lots of puns! LOL Your Alice card is very cool with the antique looking characters! Thanks for the fun and inspirational post my friend!

    Hi Nancy, the Easter bunny mug is really cute and pretty - a nice treasure! But I especially love your pop-up box - WOW! And I also really like the look of the Alice card.
    All the best, Traude

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
