A Tree, A Snowman, Some Flowers, and A Baseball Player with An Attitude

I had some time to play yesterday (until we went to the medical clinic to resolve Hubby's Pink Eye anyway). Here are some of the cards I did:


This one is a case of the very talented Pat Smethers (Blooms in a Box on SCS). I cased THIS card by Pat. I needed a very good Sympathy card for a friend at work who just lost her husband. Sad and heart-wrenching! My image is SU! Lovely as a Tree and I used some old hymnal pages as my dp.

Then I checked out the Mix-ability Challenge on SCS which is to drip a medium in some way. That sounded like fun so I did these three cards (I saw something like the coffee card on Pinterest and the other two are made with the SU!Inspired by Nature stamp - I just dropped SU!Reinker dye directly on the images):


Then I cased the Featured Stamper at SCS - LuvLee - I cased THIS card using the Small Talk image by Cheryl Alger (available at Squigglefly):


Lastly, I had time to do the Teapot Tuesday Challenge at SCS which has the teapotters (hope I can still call myself one since I haven't participated in ages) sending baseball cards to Jason who is recovering from a very difficult surgery. I used another Cheryl Alger image called Play Hard or Go Home - Noah which is now available at Squigglefly.


Hugz!

    You made excellent use of your free time yesterday. All of these cards are very pretty and impressive but I have to tell you that first card is over the top beautiful. While reading your whole post I had to keep going back to look at it a second and third time. Phenomenal!!! Enjoy your day.

    Goodness, Nancy, you are rollin' out the cards. I absolutely love that hymnal card. Of course, they are all winners. I spy a snowman card....love it. Pink eye? Oh, that couldn't be good. Hope hubby is doing better.
    Yes, I knew you were a Lobos fan but had forgotten it. I was thinking you were for that 'other' Alabama team...you know the one. I can't say it. LOL

    I think you and Charlene have both kidnapped my mojo! These are all such creative cards Nancy - each one more beautiful than the last! I absolutely love the tree stamped over the sheet music, and I love the old feeling the paper has. Your coffee ring card made me smile and your flower silhouettes are gorgeous. I especially love the warm colors you used for the background on the sympathy card. Your snowman card is darling - a favorite image of mine too. I like the netting and I'm going to be stealing your idea for how you did the sentiment on that! Your last card is really cute too. I love the layout you used and that baseball paper background is the best! Now set my mojo free!

    Holy smokes! You've been busy with cards (and a medical visit to boot! hope DH feels better), Nancy. Doesn't it feel GOOD to crank out creations?? I am inspired by the simple sympathy card in the middle of the mix. The coneflowers look neat the way you stamped them in a watercolory sort of way.

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!

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....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
