Little Things Mean A Lot and Life is Love

Hello crafty friends.

A few weeks ago, I found the thumb-drive that had a bunch of my old digital images on it and I have been looking through it.  Today I found this Lynne Stansbery Blow Me A Kiss image.  I thought it would be perfect for the **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* Challenge (flowers) and the Try it on Tuesday challenge (lovely ladies).  

This is probably the prettiest image I have in my collection.  I colored her with colored pencils.  The sentiment on the card is computer generated and on the BAJ page it is part of a DRS Designs stamp and tiny tag word from SU!  Punched out the love word with a SU! Tiny Tag punch and tied on some silver thread.  

The background of the BAJ page is gesso, Dylusions Spray, and Distress Oxidides.  There is a base layer of gesso and then another with thick white gesso applied on a script stencil.  

Thanks for visiting!

    Oh that child is simply adorable. Don't you just want to scoop her up and hug her? I would love a grand daughter just like that. A beautiful page and card made even more beautiful by the lovely soft colours you chose to use.
    Hugs, Neet xx

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...
