Psalms 8 & 9 (BAJ)

Hello friends.

Don't you love when you find something that jumpstarts your MOJO?

I found a great new challenge called **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*  The challenge is all about art journals and there are so many very cool styles represented by the participants.  I tried to look at every entry but there were a lot of them and I missed a few.  Amazing stuff.  This month's challenge is to use something new.

I receive a wonderful new Journaling Bible from hubby at Christmas.  It is called the Illustrating Bible.  It is spiral bound so it lays flat, but the pages are LARGE and it has so much more room for journaling, coloring, drawing, etc.  I LOVE IT!

I journaled Psalms 7 and 8 on this page and used some new to me stamps from CTMH.
I also used some Dina Wakely Scribbly Birds and an old SU! leaf stamp.

First I stamped hte flower, leaves, and birds, and then I watercolored the bg and the images.  I added some stenciling in TH Distress Ink.

I journaled some of the scriptures in the middle and then I wrote all the scripture from the page on the edges and around in the images.

These Psalms are so beautiful. They recognize the magnificence of God and detail David's wonder that God created us, cares about us, and puts us in a position of authority and responsibility on the Earth.  They praise God and thank Him for His protection and blessings.

Thanks for visiting!  I really appreciate your time.

Hugz,

Nancy

    I love that stencil you used. It was subtle, yet effective. The flower and leaves were amazing and the bird was so well done, too. We are SO glad you found us because your art is incredible. You certainly put mine to shame. Thank you beyond belief for joining us at Art Journal Journey. Now that you've found us, please bring your lovely new journaling bible by often!!

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 ...
