BAJ Water and Flowers

Sometimes you just need a little push to really get going on a project or hobby.  The **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* group has really inspired me.  So many great journaling artists, great ideas, and a lot of encouraging people.  I wish I would have found them years ago - I know I would be so much better in my BAJ if I had.

As I mentioned in my last post, this month's theme is hearts.  I have a page to share today that has subtle hearts.  See if you can find them all (there are 8).  The page is Psalm 18 - a Psalm of Deliverence.  The words in this Psalm are so comforting.  I needed to hear them.  I had a lot of delivering the last year.  The biggest thing was some serious health problems both hubby and I were suffering from before and at the start of 2019.  Today we are healthier than we were the last 7 years. I could go on and on, but that is for another day.
The background is Ink/Spray/Smash.  The fish, coral and seahorses are from the By The Tide SU! stamp set (one of my favorites).  The oars and broken boat are from a die set I got off Amazon and it finally came yesterday.

I have another page to share that I did last week.  I used an old SU! set (circa 2004).  I stamped them in my BJ with some tea stain distress ink and then colored them in with various water color pencils. I wrote in my favorite verses from this Psalm and a few key words.  I think this is my favorite page I have done in the last few weeks.

Thanks for dropping by!  I really appreciate it.

Hugz,

Nancy

  3. I confess I had to enlarge the image and found all eight hearts on the first page. Those fish are blowing heart bubbles and I LOVE IT. I'm simply delighted you chose to join us again at Art Journal Journey with your Bible journal. This is absolutely incredible and you have turned this journal into a true work of religious art! I especially like the different colors you chose, so the pages are all different and no one would ever get bored reading this and seeing your incredible art.

  5. I couldn't find any hearts either until I read the comments.
    How clever and subtle to have the fishes make the hearts and I love the little seahorses.
    I like the second page too with all the pink flowers.

  7. I saw the heart bubbles coming out of the fish's mouths. It is a fun page. And that flower page is gorgeous. Glad you are healthier now. We've had serious illness in my house and it is good to get past that. Thanks for sharing with us at ARt Journal Journey. Hugs-Erika

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.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
