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.

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...
