Northern Lights, Flowers, and Some Snow

 Did some catch up on Splitcoaststampers.com.  This week's watercolor challenge was on the Northern Lights watching THIS video.  


As this was done in my Journaling Bible after a layer of gesso, the watercolor paint took on some directions of its own.  I panicked at first, but liked it in the end.  This is Proverbs 3 which is not about light, but knowledge and instruction are light and Solomon gave us plenty of that in his words.  I picked out my favorite words - ones we all need right now.  Linking this as my last entry in Erika's Favorite Things theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* as I love Bible Journaling, watercolors, and the Northern Lights.  Proverbs is also one of my favorite books in the Bible.  

The SCS Watercolor challenge the week before was on Cherry Blossoms.  The gesso made the blossoms a challenge but I did find a way to love this page as well.  After doing the flowers, I sponged over the whole page with Distress Oxide Picked Rasberry and around the edges with Vintage Photo.  Then I stamped the DRS Designs Script Font background in Vintage Photo as well.  This page is Proverbs 1 and I picked my favorite words out of it as well.

I did the Featured Stamper challenge to casing THIS card by Gayle Blair. My stamps are all from DRS Designs. 

Hope you have had an awesome weekend.  I sure did!  

Hugz,

Nancy

    Wow Nancy, you have 2 absolutely beautiful pages. Your snow effect is beautiful, and the colors of your northern lights are wonderful. Nice you then take us to beautiful spring cherry blossoms. And your card is beautiful. I would think you live in New Hampshire with these great winter scenes. Nice quote too on your card. Thanks so much for your participation this month. It is much appreciated. See you here at AJJ next month. Have a great start to February. Hugs-Erika

    Loving your watercolour art! The Northern lights look so beautifully painted and I'm loving the snow card too 😁. We've had some snow flurries today but they didn't last long and nothing has settled. Take care! Hugs, Jo x

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....

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!

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...
