Joni's Birthday Surprise


Today, a few of my friends are celebrating the birthday of the world famous Joni! Joni is a wonderful card artist and a fellow Can You Digi It? DT member. She is celebrating a giant birthday milestone today (its a big one but she shouldn't worry one bit 'cause she looks fabulous). We are asking everyone to drop by Joni's blog and leave her some birthday wishes. She has no idea we are doing this so I hope she is still speaking to us after today!!! LOL.

Here is the birthday card I made Joni:


I used the Mike Eustis Fur-ocious image available at Can You Digi It? I colored the image with Copics and Spica pens, and I used a Punch-A-Bunch leaf punch to make my bush and the bg (I sponged different colors for the bg and sponged them around some of the punched leafs). I also stold some more of the moss in one of my DHs arrangements (shhhhhh - he told me not to take anymore of it but it was a special ocassion and all). Joni loves animals so I am pretty sure she is going to love this card. Inside it says "have a Roaring Good Birthday."

Happy Birthday Joni - love ya and you seriously look wonderful!!!

Be sure and check out these other DT members who are in on the surprise party for Joni (I am posting a bit earlier than they are so if you are checking this early in the morning you may want to drop by later to see them):

    What a cute card you made with this ferocious lion. I think that arrangement is soon going to disappear and you're going to be in big trouble when there is nothing left. LOL Your sponging looks great and it is an adorable birthday card.

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

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!

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...
