Thoughts of the Sea

I got to see the very edge of the sea this weekend on my way to a funeral.  It was super windy and the sea grass was blowing.  Very peaceful and serene.

It made me think of Psalms and Psalm 46 in particular - especially with the Corona Virus spreading and the loss of my husband's last remaining Uncle (his very favorite too).  So when I got home, I got out my favorite DRS stamp and stamped it all over the bottom of my journaling bible.
I stamped the sea grass in linen, tea stain and vintage photo and then I sponged in some grounding.  I also sponged around a die cut star with CTMH Sea Glass.  I distressed the sky with a bit of water but you can't really tell unless you look closely.

I also cased Faith (PeonySnail) who was this week's Featured Stamper.  THIS is the card that inspired my next page.
I sponged the beach in tea stain and linen distress inks.  The ocean was sponged in sea glass (CTMH) and a little mowed lawn mixed in.  I dotted in some SnowTex for the waved.  The birds and sea grass are from the SU! High Tide stamp set.

I am linking these to the Green Party over at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* - green is such a lovely color.  Also on our trip we ran into the Evergreen Collard Green Festival - only in Alabama!

    Both these pages are absolutely beautiful, Nancy. I love the soft colors. The first page is a beautiful tribute to your uncle. Sorry for your loss. The SnowTex for waaves is brilliant!

    Thank you for sharing these beautiful pages with us at Art Journal Journey for our March Green theme. Eileen xx

    Beautiful Nancy, you really brought the sea to your bible pages. Funerals are always tough but this will be a wonderful tribute to the day of a favourite uncle.

    I stopped by last night, but was so tired, I left this post on my desktop so I could see it as soon as I got up today. Both sides are extremely lovely. I love how you depicted the sea grasses on the left side and the birds and sea on the other. This is amazing, and I love your various choice of colors, too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us using Eileen's theme at Art Journal Journey. Again, my apologies for the late visit.

    Two beautiful pages in your Bible Journal, so serene and peaceful even though the grass in one is blowing. I do like that grass stamp and how you have used several shades to achieve that effect.
    Hugs, Neet xx

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
