Grandson Time, A Rainbow, Lemon Loaf Tea, and a Happy Pig

Sunday, I had the best time with my favorite crafting buddy - my Grandson Lewis (age almost 6).  He and is brother, Hollis, spent the morning with me.   Lewis made 13 "cards" which is what he calls any art he makes at my house.  He was channeling the Try it on Tuesday  Rainbow theme - I didn't mention it to him but he drew me a rainbow and I added it to my Journal and am linking it up to TioT.  

I added in a picture of Lewis and the words we said when he handed me the rainbow.  He used a Stabilo pencil and some markers to make his rainbow.  So precious - may be my favorite page in my art journal.  

Here is another creation he made:

This is a man driving  car with smoke coming out.  He loves the Stabilo pencil and water.  He also cut this out himself.  I think he did a great job on this car.  

I also got a special treat from my youngest daughter who snuck a fun new mug in my cabinet.  She is a Thrift Store addict and she found this fun speckled mug - I love speckled dishes (and art -  LOL).

It was thoughtful and fun.  I sipped some Tazo Glazed Lemon Loaf tea in it (one of my favorite dessert teas).  Linking this to Elizabeth's  T stands for Tuesday party since I had so much fun visiting everyone last week.  

One last creation to share - I made this a few weeks ago and forgot to post it. It is too cute and fun not to share.  


Made a mask and sponged on some distress oxides to make the background.  Added the happy pig and sentiment from DRS Designs.  Since we all know that balloon could not hold up his healthy weight, I added in some wings from one of the bee images.  

Thank you for visiting!

Hugz,

Nancy

  2. Your grandson is quite the artist. (I wonder who he gets it from?) I can imagine your rainbow page will be your favorite for a long time to come. It would be a great scrapbook page (if you did scrapbooking).
    Bee happy to you too!
    Have a lovely T-Day,
    Hugs,

  11. It must have been a joy to craft all day with your grandson. His rainbow and car are very cleverly created. Is he a chip off the old block? I can tell you are proud of him.

    Your pig card is adorable and I immediately thought of the adage "when pigs fly" when I saw the image.

    Your daughter knows you well. That is a beautiful mug and fits your artistic style, too. I like Tazo brand and I love lemon, too. Thanks for sharing your awesome art and your new mug and tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

  14. Hi Nancy, I’m late getting around everyone after spending two hours in line with steve for his vaccine, awful organisation as usual but he feels fine, our DIL said not to plan anything when you have the second dose just in case.
    How lovely to craft with your GS, our youngest was making a card for his aunt last Sunday, anything they make is special, I keep everything, ha,ha, as if I don’t have enough clutter.
    I love your new mug, very pretty, I only like breakfast tea with milk, I used to drink lemon tea years ago , I should start again to use some of the lemons from our tree!
    Have a lovely week Nancy, so lovely to see you again.

The Sea, Words of Courage, and Some Ink/Watercolor

Hello friends, Last week felt like a stormy sea of its own with my husband recovering from recent hip replacement surgery and several friends and family members facing life battles - my heart was caught in the waves. Computer issues and lack of sleep didn't help. Mark 4:39-41 reminded me: even when the winds rage, Jesus is in the boat. He speaks peace over the chaos. “Peace, be still.” I needed that reminder. Several lovely Creative Worship Stamps sets were used in the making of this watercolored and inked BAJ page: The Sea (the boat and verse), Scene Silhouettes: Tall Grasses, and Have Courage . This page was stamped, then watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I finished it off with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, and Ground Expresso), plus a little bit of Silver Stickles. We have a lot of things going on in life and you time is precious, thank you for spending a little bit with me.  Hugz, Nancy

Flowers, a Flag, and Some Wise Words

Hello Crafty Friends! I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities... I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too. In these verses, Paul tells Timothy (and all of us) to pray for everyone but he especially calls out prayer for kings and leaders. He indicates that this type of prayer could lead us to a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity. I think we can all agree that the world needs much prayer right now and it is an easy step we can take.   I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the fut...

Wise Words for Life's Storms

 My first post as a Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps. This watercolor and ink card features one of my favorite CWS sentiments - Big God . I am so grateful He is there in storms and this stamp beautifully underscores His power. The main panel of this card is watercolor paper and was painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors and Liquid Ink (the white highlights in the rain drops). The words were stamped with black ink from Close to My Heart. Hugz, Nancy
