Man Cave Inspired Creations

Shhhhhh...Entering the Man Cave - what a fun theme for this week's MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration challenge.

Here are the inspiration pictures:


Love, love, love the wood and fun colors!

I used MFP's Oh Beans and Plywood sets (the plywood sentiment is a sneak peak) for my card:



And for my scrapbook page, I used the MFP set Paper Dolls Frances set. My nephew's prom pictures were so cute, I volunteered to do some of the pages for his girlfriend's scrapbook. Isn't she cute?


I hope these pictures inspired you too. Hugz!

    Wonderful fathers day card. I loved looking at the Man Cave pictures. Your scrapbook page is just darling. You embellished this page perfectly for her. She is so lucky to be able to have these pages added to her book. Great job on both.

    I love your card with all of those tea cups balancing on top of each other and the lovely texture.
    Your layout is also fabulous, lovely warm colours, they go so well with her beautiful dress.

    I love your card with the pretty cups and fab details. Your scrapbook page is awesome. I love how you used the Paper Doll dress to create a look alike for your daughters dress. Very creative, my friend.

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
