Bible Journaling, a Concert, a Stout, and a Bit of Art

 I finally bought some good quality Daniel Smith Watercolors and what did I paint?  Circles.  

This Bible Journal Page is actually for two challenges.  One is the color values challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last week and the other is for **Art*Journal*Journey* where Alison has us playing with one of our favorite songs or movies.  I had the song Jesus is Coming Back by Jordan Feliz stuck in my head so I journaled one of the thousands of biblical references to His return (Luke 17).  I always think of orbs when I think of our souls (funny how we all chose our own ways of visualizing things).  HERE is the link to the song if you are interested (it is addictive so fair warning).

Speaking of music, my youngest daughter took me to a Black Jacket Symphony concert in Montgomery, Alabama, Saturday.  When BJS does these "Best of concerts" they pick several bands to cover. We knew they would be doing songs by the Police, but we were not sure which other songs they would do.  We totally lucked out as the other band was Queen (my favorite band of all time).  It was amazing  - I actually had a tear in my eye as it felt like Freddie was being channeled through Marc Martel.  Marc's did some of the songs in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. 

HERE is a link to Marc singing Bohemian Rhapsody if you are interested.

Of course, I need a ticket to Elizabeth's T-day party!  This week I tried a new stout.  This stout had hints of dark chocolate, toffee and caramel.  It was drinkable, but I realized I am a porter lover and not a stout lover...  It was fun to try anyway.  Happy T-day to all the gang.  I always look foward to visiting you each week.
Lastly a little art.  I cased THIS beautiful card by Wendy Fee (this week's featured stamper at Splitcoaststampers.com).  The stamps are by SU! (Wendy is a demonstrator so I felt that was important), but I used TH Distress Ink - Black Soot.  The card is off to a friend recently hurt in an ATV accident where she was ejected.  She had  concussion and received a few staples in her head, but she is recovering very well.  I added a bunch of Stickles to the trees to reflect the diamonds mentioned in the sentiment. 

Thank you for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me!  Hugz,  Nancy

    I love painting circles. It is really relaxing and I love circles on a page. Yours is great Nancy, and perfect for Alison's challenge at AJJ. Thanks for sharing with us. And that sounds like a fun concert. I haven't been to a concert is sooooo long. I think it is about time. And you try so many great sounding beers. I like dark beers so I am always really interested in what you share for T. This one sounds good. I loe the idea of dark chocolate, caramel and toffee. Maybe not quite as much as last week's peanut butter beer. Smile. Have a wonderful T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika

    So how do you like the DS paints? I think I have 8 of them and would love some more but I need to use them more often to justify any more purchases;). Sounds like a fab concert- would love it !! Thanks for sharing that interesting beer. And your card is beautiful! Have a great week, and happy T day!

      Me too - always cheap water colors (really cheap actually), but I bought a try it card on Amazon and fell in love with DS. I bought the Ultimate Mixing set of 15 - the half pan and I love it!

    A fun art journal page. They say that is the best way to use a new set of paints, swatch them in creative ways. I think it looks great. I am also loving that pretty scene on your card.
    I don't know if I have heard of that song by Jordan Feliz so I will have to look it up. We love all of his songs.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    Lovely art you created. Sounds like you had a good time with your daughter at the concert. I wouldn't know the difference between stout and porter. Happy T Day

    Your watercolors look beautiful. I am no good with watercolors, but I sure appreciate that you are enjoying your new ones. That is a wonderful page and a lovely song (yes, I clicked the link) and great for Alison's theme at Art Journal Journey. Circles are so symbolic, I think.

    I would love that concert, too, That is my kind of music. Born too late, I've been told.

    Your card is lovely. I like the sparkles and the really clean style you chose.

    I am a HUGE stout fan, so this would be something I would gladly drink. Porter is OK, but stout is all I like. Thanks for sharing your art, the music, and your stout with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

    As for the napkin swap, I won't know many details until I close the swap in mid June.

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 ...
