A Happy Card

The MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge (Challenge #57) pictures are so GORGEOUS this week!



I would love to know where these places are so I could go visit! Wow!!! Here is my card:

I used the MFP Medallion Set. I mixed heat and stick powder with ultra fine glitter (a complete accident by the way - LOL) for the embossing and then sprayed my paper with Luminarte's Radiant Rain Shimmer Mist in Snapdragon. The sentiments with this set are super sweet so I just made the largest one into a banner. I gifted this to a friend yesterday (along with chocolate) and she smiled all day!

More on this sentiment: I think this sentiment is really spot on. I believe our thoughts control our health, the joy we experience in life, our relationships with others, the quality of work we do, our dreams (nightly and of the future), and even our weight. Studies show that gratefulness can increase your life (HERE is one link to a study on this). I think happy thoughts can do the same. What are your thoughts on this? Oh and HERE is a link to my favorite song which ties into this whole discussion.

Hope you will be inspired to come play too. You don't have to use and MFP image, it doesn't cost anything to join MFP Speedy TV if you aren't already a member (takes less than 4 minutes to join), and all you have to do is be inspired in some way by the image. Shirley always gives away some great MFP image as a prize as well.

Hugz!!!

    Oh am I the first to post a comment!!! How fun would that be since I have been missing in action for so long. Geez-I owe you an email girlfriend. This card is just super gorgeous. I love that color and don't you just love those misting bottles!!! I love the doily image. It speaks to me. I have just been working with doilies and doily stamps myself recently. Love you....and miss you bunches!!!

    Your mistake came out beautiful. Isn't it nice that we are such great inventors? LOL. I really like that big bold sentiment and, yes, I completely agree with everything you said about our thoughts. I truly believe that if you have positive, happy thoughts, you will most likely have the same type of life, at least it works for me. Have a fabulous day. Out temps are going up into the 50's today. The last of our snow seems to be melted away. Soon we can get to planting things in the gardens which is always a great thing.

    Very pretty card, Nancy. Chocolates and a pretty card would make a person smile all day.
    I checked out the video and that was really what seemed to be a happy bunch of dancers.

    Nice panel card Nancy. Mistakes are the reason we have many things to enjoy in our modern age. Love your "mistake". You made it into something very "special"

    Great layout for that image. Yes, being thankful and having a positive attitude will allow you to overcome anything :)

    This is a beautiful card Nancy, I love your glittered medallion and gorgeous rich colour. I have to agree with your sentiment and comments - there is no point in dwelling on unhappy things or thoughts.

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....

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!

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...
