Some Tea and Christmas Thoughts


This card was a case of PegMac71 at SCS who was named Queen For the Day this week. I was inspired by her lovely Enjoy the Season Cards. I kept her Tea theme, but changed up the sketch a tiny bit and added a few more layers. I am also entering this in the Pile It On (patterned paper) and the My Heart Pieces (layers) challenges. The image is from Pattie's Creations.


I love this darling Pattie's Creations Pattieboop and Allie Waiting For Santa image. I am entering this in the Pattie's Creations Challenge #52 - Embossing.


The other Day my friend Sue Worthington and I decided to buy exactly the same image at exactly the same time. We agreed to buy this darling Mo Manning image. The plan also includes doing a card and loading it before Monday at noon. I was inspired by the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers this week Angela R. I am entering this card in the Mo's Challenge DP2 #151 (Anything Goes) and the Creative Card Crew Challenge #18 (Christmas).

    WOW three outstanding cards. I love your "tea" card. That gorgeous cup looks like something my grandmother would have had in her kitchen. The doily seems to go perfect with it and I love all your little gems and papers. Just beautiful. Your second card is so very cute with your embossing and that adorable image. Your third card is just fabulous. Great idea with the three panels and your coloring on your image is spot on.

    Loving the doily behind the tea cup on the first card - perfect for the card. The window you created on the second is adorable!! Love the touch of snow :) And loving the image on the last card - so precious and wonderfully coloured! Well done on all three cards :)

    Fabulous card for Peggy...love that yellow teacup, so pretty! All your cards are great, Nancy. Funny about the two of you getting that precious image at the same time. It made such a gorgeous card and the music bg is just perfect.
    Yes, you can have my stacked snowman card for Christmas if you like. It is a winner at CASology today. How exciting is that? Of course, if Pamzi finds out you asked for it, she'll be asking, too. LOL

    All three are great cards, Hard to pick a favorite, but I am always drawn to cards with teacups and teapots (Must be because of the SCS teapot challenges...smile) I like how you did it in yellow. Stunning! The Christmas card is so lovely. Must go look at Sue's card too, TFS...Blessings, Jill

    All of your cards are just beautiful...although I am partial to the one's using Pattie's Creations Images lol. You have done such a wonderful job of not only colouring these great images, but of also choosing your pp's and embellishments.

    Thanks for playing in our challenge!

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
