A Quick Scrapbook Page

I found a new (to me) scrapbook challenge last night and did a quick page. Actually, it was very fast for me and looking at it I wonder how that happened since I sewed on it and everything - the stars aligned or something because normally it takes me forever to do a page even if it is a simple one.

Done for two absolutely fun scrapbook challenges (yes, I am now officially addicted to scrapbook challenges too - although my scrapbook pages look like kindergarten pages compared to some out there - I am learning though). I did this for Stashbusters on Splitcoast Stampers (Second Week of March but you have a month to so them) - HERE is the link:

The Stashbusters requirements are to use at least one of each of these:

• 2 patterned papers
• Ribbon
• Bling or Buttons
• Stamps or Stamped Image

And my sketch is from Sketchabilities #111 .

This is Allie with two of her sorority sisters.

    Love the angle of everything and the neutral color palette! I guess the stars WERE aligned because this came together perfectly! Thanks for playing along with us at Sketchabilities!

    Wow, this is gorgeous. I think your daughter Allie is just beautiful. Look at her eyes-they are sparkly and happy. She takes after her Mom!!!! Now this scrapbook layout is everything I love. I see we are both gravitating towards the same tones and textures. You'll see mine soon. It takes me forever to make a mini. I sure your daughter loved this. It's so beautiful.
    Bear Hugs,

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
