GDP192 - Case the Designer!

My baby, Alex, turned 24 today.  Later today we are having a birthday celebration with a cookie cake and her favorite thing to eat - Poppyseed Chicken.  I realized this morning that I had not yet made a card, so I made one up really fast using the GDP192 Case the Designer Challenge as my inspiration.  This pretty card by Charlet Mallett was the perfect thing to get me started.
I had limited time this morning before work plus I had to cook the chicken for the poppyseed chicken tonight as well.
No time to color so I slapped down some aluminum foil and swiped my yellow, pink, and green inks on it.  Next, I splashed on some water with my fingers and dipped my paper into the inks.  I dried the paper with a heat gun and stamped the flowers from SU! Tea Together.  Next, I stamped the teacup, fussy cut it, and then sponged around it with some brown (this is my vintage daughter).  I cut out the flowers and arranged them on the teacup. 

The card was looking plain so I painted on some pink stripes using the leftover ink on my aluminum foil.  Allie loves bling so I added some silver glitter glitter to the flowers and the bottom of the cup.  I also added a few butterflies from the SU! Enjoy Life set to fill in my blank pink banner.

The sentiment is from SU! Tasty Trucks.  I cut a few little triangles from my inked up paper and made a banner to go under the sentiment. 

Should be a fun night!  I bought Allie part of an old rural post office.  It is the part of the post office that has the slots where they placed the mail and it still has some of the names visible. To make it even better, it is a town she loves.  She is so excited! 

Hugz,

Nancy

    You surely had a busy morning and a very talented one at that. What you have turned out is a super work of shabby chic. I love the flowers and the teacup. The background looks awesome and so does all the sponging. JUST TOO GOOD. Lucky Alex and happy birthday to her.

    Nowadays Aluminium Foil Dubai roll 75 sq ft has a broad scope of application from household to construction industry. Usually, inner walls and ceilings are lined with Aluminum Foil roll 75 sq ft.And then sheathed with boards or lining. The heat generated by heating batteries does not completely go to the heating of the room. Up to 30% of the heat is lost through the outer wall. A similar situation is with heat-insulated flooring. Using the properties of Aluminum Foil roll 75 sq ft – high heat reflectivity – making a foil screen between the battery and the wall or between the heating element and the floor, reduces heat loss and energy costs for heating.

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...
