A Magical Train and Steampunk Thoughts

 The February **Art*Journal*Journey* theme picked by Valerie is Heavy Metal (metallic colors, pieces, concepts, steampunk, etc.).  What a fab theme!  I did my steampunk page yesterday and my train page this morning at 4:00AM just when the train horns  were sounding - lol!


My steampunk page is made with Stamperia Sea World paper and the related pipes stencil.  This picture make

This page is done with some silver, gold and rust colored metallic ink, a lines stencil, a picture out of a Best of Life book, and some TH stickers.


Also have a card to share using the new Lucky in Love stamp from DRS Designs.  I did a watercolor background, added some crackle medium circles, layered on an altered playing card (stamped with the DRS Designs Script Font background), and tucked in a TH paper doll couple. 



Hugz, and thanks for stopping by!

    These pages are fantastic Nancy. I like the steampunk ,but I must say the man on the little train is a super photo. It looks great on your metallic background. And nice card too. I love that dot texture on the background. Thanks for sharing with us at AJJ for Valerie's challenge. Hugs-Erika

    I just love your steampunk page and now I actually get what steampunk is. The whole page looks metallic with the gorgeous metallic blue and the metallic fishes purposefully swimming across the page and leaving their messages on the tags. I like the grungy torn bits of print too and the seafloor.
    There is some 4 a.m. magic on the second piece.
    Top steampunk marks to you!

    How on earth did you find the driver in the perfect size to sit on the train - absolutely fabulous page! I can see me looking for ages and giving up - well done you and it is just right for the challenge too.
    Love your Stamperia page, would never have thought of using under the sea for this but it works perfectly and those fish are fabulous.
    Like the romantic card too - lovely idea.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    Loving your steampunk page with those fabulous metal fish! The train page looks amazing too, I love how he is appearing out of the blurred background - perfect 😁. You made me smile with the train horns too! Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x

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. ...
