Some Fun Christmas Cards

It is time for some Christmas cards - I am so glad I got a few more of them done.

They are encouraging Christmas cards at Going Grey (Scrap-Creations) Challenge(GGSC122), Angels or Fantasy at Southern Girls #49, and Anything Goes at Jackson's Digital Expressions #14 (they are sponsored by Bugaboo but Robert Jackson has to pretty awesome images). So my first card is for Going Grey, my second for Southern Girls and my last for Jackson's Digital Expressions.

I used a LilyPink Designs image available at Can You Digi It? Isn't it pretty? The paper is gcd Parisan Nights (some of fav paper in the world).

I recently won some Bugaboo imagesa and I love them - aren't these angels sweet?
Another totally adorable image from Bugaboo. Love these things!

I do believe I am getting the Christmas Spirit already!

Hugz to all!

    Great cards, Nancy! I must say I adore the last one...reminds me of my munchkins. Your first card is fabulous with that sentiment and the angels are adorable on the next one.

    Wow! YOu're getting in a whole lot more craft time than me lately! LOL I love those sweet angels in the second card, the Paris scene on the first, and the fun holiday colors on the third. :)

    I have bronchitis, so for the most part have been laid up. Today I felt well enough to sit and comment a bit, but the couch is calling me again! At least I'm catching up with a good book. (John Steinbeck's East of Eden)

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
