Self Portrait...

This week's Squigglefly challenge is "Have a Heart, Please" (SFC0412). Holley's team has this challenge covered, but I thought I would play too since who can resist a challenge with hearts - plus, I have this fun sneak peek Fanny image from Marlene Shaw that will be available in the Store in February.


It is Tickle a Teapotter week at the SCS Teapot Tuesday Challenge (when the tea party gals all exchange cards with each other - so fun) so I know that whoever gets this card will laugh for days! The challenge is to do a black and white card with one other color (there are all kinds of other inspirational hints but I just ran with the color part). I added my own sentiment to make it the perfect self-portrait of me. I am sure a few others will identify with this sentiment too - LOL!

Hugz!

    Had to pop by here and comment. Congrats on the shout-out at SCS for favs this week! I'm a huge fan of Marlene's work and love, love, love her sense of humour. The sentiment you created for this is hilarious and opens a little space for Valentine's Day (I have been single for a lot of years and I don't like Valentine's Day! but this perspective is one I can handle!!) Awesome card and absolutely love all those embossed hearts! hugs, Charlene

    I immediately recognized the talent of this former blogger Marlene and I'm so happy to see her drawings again! Her images were always hilarious and still are! This is such a fun card, and I love all those hearts along with that fun sentiment! Self portrait for me too :)

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
