Some Old Favs

Today I had some time to play in three of my fav challenges: Octopode, Dilly Beans, and Drunken Stampers. Love me some Dilly Beans and Octopodes!

The challenge at Octopode Factory is Lovely Ladies and the challenge at Drunken Stampers is Breakfast at Tiffany's so I was able to meet both challenges with this super cool Audrey image from Octopode. I needed more birthday cards.




At Dilly Beans the challenge is Black and White . Month-end at work can be very stressful, so I thought I would make a fun desk plaque. I love this Dilly Beans Snowman - he was the first Dilly Bean image I purchased.



Hope you are having a wonderful weekend - I got in some crafting, some housework and a nap so I am celebrating! Hugz!

    Love the cards, the image on the first card is right up my street.

    The buttons in the shape of the heart is such a fun idea.

    Love both of these, but the second one just makes me smile. I think it's perfect for a desk and helping to stay calm.

    Cute, cute birthday card. I like the banners for the sentiment. And, you know I fell for the snowman immediately. I just love them to pieces. Wonderful work, Nancy.

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

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...

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!
