Radiate Possibilities - Aim High Journal Page

 Rainy and dreary outside so I decided to go with lots of color in my art journal this morning.

My inspirations are as follows:

*The box on the top of the dresser HERE (part of the Inspiration Challenge today on SCS)
*Valerie's Heavy Metal theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY
*The pop art theme in the MIX challenge on SCS

The old lace and the 4 circles at the top of the left side all came out of Great Grandma Taylor's sewing drawer.  The top left circle is rimmed with metal and I believe it may have her handwriting on it a bit.  So fun!  Added in some gold paint plus kept the airplane behind Howard (out of an old Best of Life book bought at a garage sale and already partial cut up).  

Howard Hughes was tinted purple with some ink so he could fall more into the pop art vibe.  He was so interesting and goes with my "Radiate Possibilities - aim high' encouragement.  The balloons are stamped with the Hot Air Balloon stamp from DRS Designs.  The puff circles are DRS Designs as well.  

The background is done with stencils, old hymnal pages, Dylusions sprays, torn mop up bits, and gesso (white and clear).  

Hope your day goes well and you aim high!

    This is a fabulous page Nancy. I like that you chose Howard Hughes. H might have been eccentric but he sure did a lot of things very well. The pop art vibe is fun. Thanks for joining us for Valerie's challenge at AJJ. Hope you're having a nice weekend too, even with some rain. Hugs-Erika

    Nancy this is so special, to hold those trinkets and lace from your Great Grandma's sewing draw id such a treat to see. Howard Hughes with that tint adds such an atmosphere to the whole journal page displaying a great message too, we all need to radiate possibility much more in this crazy world around us.
    Stay safe & keep creative Hugs Tracey xx

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. ...
