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.

Hello Crafty Friends, Popping in to join in the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #443 . The theme is Anything Goes with the option of water. I used this image because over at Splitcoaststampers.com the WT challenge for today is toys. I needed a tag for present I am giving this week and this worked perfectly. The image is from a coloring book I won several years ago in the HMFMC. I love the larger images. I cut out a piece of corrugated cardboard, peeled off the backing paper, painted it with liquid acrylic (white) and then sprayed with TH Distress Spray (tumbled glass). Next, I fussy cut the image and painted it with TH Distress Inks which I also used to sponge around the edges (rusty hinge and mermaid lagoon). The sentiment is from an old SU! set and the tag is an old SU! punch; after punching it, I tied on some silver cord. This came out soooooo cute. Come play in the HMFMC with me. Hugz, Nancy
