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 collection as is the sentiment and deer (all coated with gesso to take off the shine).  The frame was inspired by the TLC814 challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com - love Anita's idea/sketch.  I will be doing it again soon!  Inked around the edges and splattered with water to get the distressing.  Added a bit of white paint for extra distressing.

Also did these cards this weekend:

This flower card is for several Splitcoaststamper.com challenges including one to use paper towel mop ups.  This flower is the last of my paper towel pages that my Grandson Lewis made.  He assured me he would come make me some more!  I haven't ever liked this flower die (had it forever) but this card made me love it! The background is a monoprint using a plaid stencil.


Had to use the rest of my stencil monoprint, cased the featured stamper on Splitcoaststampers and had to use the DRS Bucket of Sunflowers image again.  This time I stamped the image 4 times and fussy cut the flowers  I watercolored the flowers and restamped them in the MISTI after it dried.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  

Hugz, 


Nancy

    Wow, you page and cards are stunning! I love the distressed look that you created with the stamps and stencils and your new Stamperia goodies look so beautiful too - amazing textures 😀. I'm in love with that big flower card too, the paper towel and beaded centre is just gorgeous! Then there is your autumnal card - perfect! Thanks so much for playing along this month at Art Journal Journey, it's always a pleasure to see you there! Hugs, Jo x

    Your eagle page is gorgeous (thank goodness for TH vintage photo). I love the ghostly shadow of the clock. It is a stunning image. And a stunning page too. And I also love the other cards, especially that big flower. The texture in the center is really eye catching. Have fun with your new toys (I got those recently aso but haven't used them yet). Thanks also for joining us again this month at Art Journal Journey for Jo's texture challenge. Happy end of the month. Hugs-Erika

    Your AJJ pieces are terrific with these marvellous sludgy colours. Amusing that you have to use Vintage Photo. I've got a colour like that and I try not to use it but it seems to sneak in. Great backgrounds for the eagle and deer and I love the die-cuts which I've never used.
    Your cards are great too - the big flower! and the bunch of yellow flowers - and again super backgrounds.

    I love it all, Nancy. I'm addicted to Vintage Photo Distress Ink too.

    Your grandson could sell beautiful mop up paper towels like those! Mine look bland and wimpy in comparison. I can see that the large flower die would be difficult to use. But your card is stunning!

    The basket of flowers is lovely. It looks very dimensional.

    The barrel of flowers is gorgeous, swell worth all the fussy cutting, as is the first two pieces of art you made in blues and greens. Love the subjects of both of these.
    Can understand your liking the flower with the paper towels your grandson made, I like that one too.
    Hugs, Neet xx

Brotherhood Wishes, a Paper Purse, and a Special Mug

Hello friends. No more fun travel or parade pictures - back to every day normal life.  On a positive note, I have been able to fit in some art. Hereis an art journal spread I finished this weekend. I am adding it to Alison's Summer Landscape challenge theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .   I started the pages in my journal around July 4th after seeing Dina's stripes inspired Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com and got as far as stamping some foliage at the bottom.  I was stuck after that, and I wasn't sure where to go with it next.  A few days later, I was clearing out some things in the craft room and ran across a Thomas Kinkade book I cut up and use in my Bible Journaling.  There was a picture of  the San Francisco Bridge and another of some mountains so I tore them out and added them to my page with Gesso representing some of the beautiful things in America and also Alison's countryside theme.  They did not blend in very well and I needed to alter them to wo

My Favorite Parade

Hello Friends! Hope you had a good weekend.  I look forward to this weekend every year because I love the Fourth of July Parade in Prattville.  It makes me feel like things are right with the world - it is a bit old fashioned, a bit innocent, a bit quirky (actually a whole lot quirky), and a lot of fun.  Anyone can be in the parade as long as you remotely look patriotic.  My kids used to ride their bikes in the parade when they were younger. I thought I would share a few pictures. The mayor and City Council had one of the first floats (by the way all the floats and cars throw candy, necklaces, and toys so the people watching are all paying close attention so they can catch the good stuff). Notice how the floats are really just trailers with a few decorations. This was one of my favorites - it was the sanitation department and they had all their candy in a toilet on the top of the truck - lol!  I am pretty sure it was tootsie rolls - lol again! The local judge - isn't she pretty?

Hot Air Balloons, Santa Fe, and Watermelon

Hello friends. Posting Day Three from our New Mexico Trip.   When  I was 26, I was on a hot air baloon team.  Our lead pilot back then was awesome and was asked to do a lot of commercial flights and invitationals. My favorite experience was at an invitational in Telluride, Colorado.  Flying down the middle of that city was amazing, but flying around Albuquerque was always wonderful as well.  Anyway, I wanted my daughter to experience the special feeling of being in a hot air balloon in Albuquerque (the balloon capital of the world).  Her son was a bit afraid so he stayed with me. Allie was lucky to have the owner of Rainbow Ryders as her pilot and she met a wonderful woman who is an established travel blogger (I will try to get her contact info and share it because she was very interesting and I bet her blog is interesting too).  They hit it off really well, and she was so encouraging to Allie who wants to get into Social Media Marketing.  For the travel blog video they got to go insid
