Liquid Death, a Skeleton, and Some ATCs

Do you ever fall for super creative marketing?

I couldn't resist buyigg this Sparkling Water after seeing the name and the image on the can.

This water is almost as expensive as beer, but it is soooooo cool.  

Even the wording on the can is cool - here is a little bit of it:

"This infinitely recyclable can of stone-cold sparkling water came straight from the Alps to murder your thirst."

"Once cracked open, no thirst is safe from Liquid Death."

Love it!  It is also my ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog.

I plan to serve this water at our family Halloween party.  We are going to do a skeleton charcuterie  board too.  We bought a cool skelton at Target to fill with candy and treats on our board  The Grandsons all loved it, and one of them strapped him the car seat for the ride home?


I am still on an ATC kick.  Here are three versions I did for a multi-level Back to School Swap - I signed up for three diffeent ones.

1.  The top one is a book cover theme  - we were supposed to come up with an ATC that looks like an old fashioned book cover.  I had a lot of fun with that one.  I kept this as it wa my favorite. 

2.  The left one was for a cool kid/nerdy kid  theme.  I used a book page, part of a sheet music page, a TH paper doll, some bright ink, and a fun title. 

3.  The right one was for a swap focusing on school supplies.  I kept this one because it was so cute with the mouse but also because it ddn't have a school supply other than the library card. I had intended to add  pencil image, but coudn't seem to find it.  

Happy T-day!  

Hugz,

Nancy

  12. I am late visiting because my electricity was out from shortly before 5:00 p.m. last night for around 19 hours. My apologies if you think I had forgotten or was ignoring you.

    I love those ATCs. You are definitely on an ATC kick.

    I look forward to seeing your Halloween party. That skeleton will surely liven up the place. And that sparkling water was to die for!! I can see why you will be serving it for drinks at the Halloween party. Thanks for sharing your ATCs and your sparkling water with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

  13. That is one cool can of water. The name is perfect for Halloween. And it is perfect for an October T post. Your grandson is adorable too. I like his idea to strap in the skeleton. And fabulous ATC's also. Hope it was a wonderful T day Nancy. Hugs-Erika

  16. Ohh I am with you I would buy the water for the can. Very cool. Love the car partner all strapped. The art is just beautiful.

  17. What a cool way to market their sparkling water! Your ATCs are wonderful. I like the variety.

  18. That's a clever bit of marketing. You are actually just paying for the can (as water doesn't cost anything). But I can see it is fun.
    Your ATCs are beautiful. No wonder you want to keep them yourself!
    Sorry I'm late but as you regulars know, we are away on Tuesday, and today we had a power cut so I'm even later (It's nine pm)
    A belated happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  20. How cool is the water and the can…love it and also the skeleton. Love how your DGS strapped him in the car. I bet it will look fantastic on the board for Halloween. I love all of the ATCs. The fish one does look like leather. Happy Tuesday Nancy. Sending hugs. Jx

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
