Some Sun and a Frightened Dog

It has been storming this week, and it looks like we will have more storms today. I am not complaining though - I love the rain and the cooler temperatures - plus I know there are a lot of people in the world today that would be cheering if it was raining. I still have sun. Do you see it on my card in the upper left corner and in the shape of my frame around my Sassy Cheryl Better Than A Thousand Words image. I made this card for two challenges:

Sassy Cheryl - Bling in the Sun (challenge ends tonight so hurry if you want to enter too)

The Featured Stamper FS332 Challenge on SCS - Sue Kment was the stamper (two weeks ago but better late than never)

Sue has a wonderful SCS gallery and a wonderful blog - you can visit her HERE if you are interested in checking out some really special creations. HERE is the card I cased.

Storms always affect animals in very interesting ways. My parent's dog hides in a closet when it starts to thunder and refuses to go out in the rain. One of my Pattie's Creations DT buddies, Kelly, has a lab that tries to get in her lap. After all these storms, I thought it would be fun to use this great Fawn Palmer image called A Lap Dog. I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge FS333 on SCS where Tinahale38 was the Featured Stampers. I cased THIS card of Tina's.

Hope you weekend has been wonderful! Hugz!

    Both cards are absolutely terrific but my heart goes to Thunder Dog! You don't even want to know what I go through with one of my girls, its nightmare time!

    Oh! How fun is this! What a great idea to use this spellbinders shape for a sun! I love it!
    Love the softness of the background paper! Sweet coloring too!
    Thanks for playing along in our Sassy Cheryl challenge this week!

    I see that pretty sunshine. Thankfully, we've had a beautiful weekend. Worked in the yard and almost killed myself. I love that sweet image. That dog card reminds me of our wonderful dog that is now gone. He hated fireworks, Halloween, and thunder. He would run upstairs to the master bedroom closet and hide. Love both your creations.

    More fabulous creations! Love the soft yellows of the first one and the second one made me laugh. Love the added lightening bolt. I was out of town this past week so I missed all the storms (and my dog in my lap).

    Wouldn't be able to choose my fave between these two great cards! Lovely cute image and gorgeous yellow frame make me love the first one and the second is just too funny! I babysat a Great Dane once and it was like looking after a horse!!

    Great cards Nancy! I had to chuckle at the "Is That Thunder?" sentiment you added to the lap dog card.

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...

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....

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...
