I'M BACK!

I haven't posted since the middle of December and I hope I haven't lost all my wonderful blogging buddies. We had a super busy December - one full of tragedy, disappointment, and illness, but also full of love, blessings, and amazing things. Sometimes life is just plain scary, and just when you are scared to pick up the phone or go outside, God shows you life can still be wonderful.

I hope your holidays were full of blessings and love! I promise to get around and see what you have been up to during this week. Here are a few cards I made in the last few weeks:



Many hugz!!! Happy 2015 too!

    Hi & gosh, this was a stunning re-emergence with your posts! What a wealth of beauty to enjoy as I'm surfing around this afternoon, playing catchup. Saw one of your comments at another blog (Carol L) and was able to pop over quickly to wish you a Happy New Year. Sorry to hear that your holidays didn't have as much 'pure happiness' as you'd have liked, and hope the tragedy is one that can pass quickly..ditto the illness & disappointment. Always hard to deal with that kind of thing during the holidays. Each one of these cards is just a stunning effort, but I must tell you, #1 is just so elegant & rich with the subtle cream and those gorgeous dimensional flowers. #5 equally grabbed me, but I liked the different looks you've achieved on each card. Lots of hard work & skill on every one, and thanks for sharing them. I hope that 2015 will start off better than 2014 ended for you. Big hugs & TFS

    Hi, Nancy - thanks for popping in today to let me know you are ok - I was concerned. I'm very sad to hear that you've had some extremely unpleasant circumstances hit your life in December. Please know I'm thinking of you fondly, and hope that things are soon looking up, and that your hurting heart is also soothed. I must say that your cards are out of this world! They are gorgeous, and I have pinned four of them to use as samples for myself. BEAUTIFUL in every way. I hope 2015 makes up for some of the hardship last month brought, Nancy, and that things are soon better. hugs, de

    Sorry to hear that December was so tough. Your creations are gorgeous! I love the first one and wish my white on white (or cream on cream) looked half as good as yours always do. Sending lots of hugs and hope that 2015 is full of happiness and joy.

    I'm glad to see you back to blogging again, and hopefully 2015 will be a better time for you!
    The cards are all beautiful, and I especially love the golden glittered "celebrate" banner card! Each one looks elegant and labor-intensive to create, and BTW - thanks for leaving so many wonderful comments today, but gawrsh! You didn't have to knock yourself out with so many! whew! I do appreciate your taking the time to do that........now relax, kick back and have some fun! Wishing you a great week ahead!

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!
