Fall Musings

 Finally, found a little bit of time to participate in Chris' All Kinds of Weather Theme at **Art*Journal*Journey.   I decided to do a nice and calm Fall Day - just cool enough for a light coat and hat. 

The background was painted super fast and sloppy, but I think that it makes a cool backdrop for the fun words that were included in one of the ArtStack collections I recently purchased. It fits me - I can always find something else do other than what I am supposed to be doing.  I am sure I am not the only one. 

I normally love to go outside during Fall because it is way too hot here in the Summer, but this year I have stayed in more.  Why?  Four recent snake sightings - all different types.   Hope you are enjoying your weather wherever you happen to be. 

Hugz,

Nancy

  3. Great journal page Nancy and is awesome for a page done fast and sloppy. You are so talented. Great saying. I’m a big procrastinator. Snakes….yep they are out here too. I avoid places where they are. Have a great week. Hugs jx

  4. Snakes would keep me inside too. Eeeks. I am loving your fall page, and your quick painting looks fantastic. And nice quote too. There is always so many things to do and not enough time, so life does end up being pick and chose, doesn't it? Thanks so much for sharing this with us at AJJ. It is a beauty and fits Chris' challenge perfectly. Have a great week. Hugs-Erika

  7. Ooh! Snakes! I think I would be keeping much to myself and not enjoying walking if there were snakes around my area. Hope they catch them soon.
    Lovely page in your Journal and yes, I can relate to that quote, so easily. I do like the background you have painted, the way you have painted the trees is so effective. A real delight.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    I don't think I would walk any where if there were snakes about. Stay safe.

  10. Fabulous card! And I can relate to that sentiment!
    I have enjoyed the fall weather this year...lots of nice days my way (except today...it was chilly outside) But for several days this past month it was warm enough for me to craft on my front porch. It was wonderful. I don't like being on display...where anyone going by could see me...but it is a crafter's dream. The weather was nice so I wasn't stuck in the house and I could be doing somthing that I love to do the most...and there was so much light to do my card making.
    Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments you have been leaving on my cards they are so appreciated. Hope all is fine with you and your family...Blessings, Jill

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day.  The paper in the middle is from the Stamperia Forest

A Martini, Peanut Butter Cupakes, and Art

Hello Friends. Today, I have an ecletic mix of drinks, dessert, and art. First, it's T-day somewhere in the world so time for a drink post which I am linking to Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover.  Last week we had a work related dinner.  When the waitress asked what I wanted to drink, I had a sudden craving for a martini.  I use to love them, but I guess my tastes have changed because I wasn't a fan.  I was a fan of the chips and dips though! And the day before, I brought my Sister's fabulous peanut butter cupcakes.  Mainly because I was craving them and couldn't ask her to make just one..... Over at **Art*Journal*Journey* Elle picked a theme of Books, Cats, and Tea (you can pick one, two or three of the items).  I did a Bible Journal Page in my Journaling Bible - Luke 13:24-25.  After a layer of Gesso, I took a Sharpie pen and drew the kitty, then the narrow door, and then colored the door with Arteza Brush pens. The verse was written with a Micron pen.  This

Milkshake Malt Porter and a Bit of Art

 Hello friends and Happy T-day. It has been hit or miss with me lately on T-day posts. The remodel of our house next door has taken our mental and physical energy.  I think a few more weeks and things will be on the contractor instead of us.  Hopefully I will be back to normal by then. My Oldest Darling Daughter asked if we wanted to come for dinner Saturday.  Translation:  go to the store with me and we will bring part of dinner to your house and you cook the rest.  While at the store, I saw one 6 pack of this fun milkshake porter so, of course, I bought it.  It smells wonderful (a hint of chocolate and a hit of malt) and has a light creamy taste.  I would definitely buy it again if I see it.  My son-in-law did not like it, but he is more a  Miller Lite fan.  Now if this had been a whiskey, he would have been all over it.  LOL.  Linking this to Elizabeth's blog for the T-party gang. Darling Daughter had tried her hand at dried pintos, and she rocked them (I will begging for a rep
