Lots of Fun Art Journaling and a Few Cards

 Hello crafty friends,


I had fun creating this weekend.  Here are some of my creations - the ones I am willing to share - LOL.


My first one is in my new journaling book and it was inspired by THIS picture on the SCS inspiration challenge and Valerie's Heavy Metal Theme (the Stickles Gel has metallic circles in it) at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.   This kind of reminds me of my hair color right now as I am trying to go all gray and my stylist is mixing in a few different colors to help.  


I played with some Stickles gel that had stars in it too so it also fits the AJJ theme.  If you like Big Bang theory like I do you might get a kick out of my Sheldon-isms.

I did a few BAJ pages too. This one was on the page starting the New Testament in my journaling Bible.  I used torn book and hymnal pages for the maintains and clouds.  It was loosely done after watching a watercolor video from the SCS watercolor challenge this past week. 

More painted circles in Philippians.

Made a few cards this past week too.

This first one is almost all Stamperia Forest goodies - an old SU! sentiment from Elements of Style.  I was a case of THIS card by Dawn Mercedes on SCS  - she was the featured stamper this week. 

Made these pumpkin square recipe cards for the recipe card swap with my scrapbook group.  Was inspired by the midmonth inspiration challenge on Mission Inspiration (Facebook group).  We were supposed to use hands.  I dipped my hands in ink and stamped them on to resemble a well used recipe card. LOL.  
I did this card for last week's Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS. It was inspired by THIS card by Linda (hotwheels).  I know it looks nothing like it but things in my head just took a different direction.  The image and sentiment are new at DRS Designs. 
Thanks for dropping by.  I really appreciate it!

    So much fantastic art Nancy. You did have a fun weekend. I love the idea of glitter in my hair rather than grey. Smile. Thanks for sharing them with us at Art Journal Journey. It was fun seeing these creations. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika

    Lovely pages and cards - the earthy colour tones and lovely layering of the deer card particularly appeal to me, and I enjoyed the bubbles of Sheldon-isms!

    A super collection of makes Nancy, you have been busy! I love the first journal page, I must have lots of strands of glitter in my hair, I gave up dying it years ago, they are all fabulous though. The Stamperia card is gorgeous, I think this is my favourite Stamperia collection and the recipe cards are a great idea, super inking on the final card - I should think you need another weekend to rest after creating all of these!

    Wow, so many fabulous pages and cards today - live them all! The grey hair of your beautiful green eyed lady is amazing, it reminds me that my hair could do with some TLC as our hairdressers are closed at the moment with lockdown ...lol 😉. The Forest Stamperia card is so beautifully layered too! Wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x

    What a lovely idea to describe grey hairs as strands of glitter and it's a lovely painting too.
    I read all your Sheldonisms and enjoyed and then got distracted trying to find from Mr. Google what Sheldonism is. Not sure I am any the wiser.
    The cards are great too. The one with the deer is very complex.

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!

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....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
