This week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge (#50) is Surf City Woodies. At first I thought Shirley had pictures of wooden surfboards as I had no idea what a Woodie happened to be. Thankfully she posted some great pictures:




How cool are these? Here is my card - I was inspired by colors and all the curves in the Woodies although after seeing the pictures in a different size and lighting, I see that I was a bit off on my purpley-pink.


I used the new Medallion stamp set (love the image and the sentiments in this new set).

Hope you will come play too!

Hugz!

    Very pretty, Nancy. I really like how you die cut so your medallion carries over to the next cut. Very cool, indeed. Aren't those woodies cute? For some reason, it makes me think of beaches and surfers. :-)

    Love the card. Simply well done. Yes that is a play on words. The photos take me back. I do remember the real woodies. They were still around when I was growing up. Later they were fake wood. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and the great card.

    This is a beautiful medallion and you just showcased it in a stunning way. I DO remember woodies so that ought to tell you how old I am, Maybe as old as dirt, as some would say. LOL Enjoy your week.

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...

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!
