Thankful for Acorns, Leaves, and Collage Fodder

Hello friends.

Today I have an art journal page inspired by THIS watercolor video shared by Kia for the Splitcoaststamper.com water color challenge AND Elizabeth's and Bleubeard's **Art*Journal*Journey* theme Collage Fodder or Food and Drink or Both.  I miss everyone at AJJ so I am glad I had some time to play in this challenge. 

I could not find my pencil so I outlined the acorns and leaves with a light paint on watecolor paper. I was too lazy to go back and watch the leaves portion of the video so mine are a bit big and a bit crazy, comparatively. I like them so it all works out. 

The base page is all collage fodder from Taperology  I am addicted to the pretty stuff in that store and someone sent me a package of papers.  Wish I knew who.....I would give them a big hug.  Isn't that Alice Cooper ticket fun?  There was even a faux Beatles ticket in the package. I layered the papers with Gesso and a bit of TH Vintage Photo DOX.

Thanks to Kia, Elizabeth, and Bleubeard for the inspiration, and thanks to you for visiting.

Hugz,

Nancy

    This is such a lovely autumn page Nancy. I just love the background, and is that a touch of gold? It looks lovely to add a bit of shine to it. And you are right, the ticket is such fun. I'm glad you were able to join us at AJJ for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's challenge. Hope you can make it back sometime this month also. Have a lovely rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika

    I googled what collage fodder is, and there were many samplers of them. Because I'm not now interested in hand made tasks, I doubt to make any. Your page is very good and rich of interesting items. Those colorful leaves are the top on it.
    Have an inspiring November xx

    Oh Nancy, that collage fodder background is fabulous. Yes, I love the Alice Cooper ticket and I think that store you sent me to just now is amazing. I can see why you like the items in their store. I was in love with the washi tapes. Your leaves and acorns are beautiful and signify autumn has truly arrived. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this beaut with Art Journal Journey using Bleubeard's and my theme!

    I hope to see you again this month, too, dear!

    What gorgeous images you have used in your collage. I love all things autumnal and these are beautiful - the acorns and the oak leaves. Just beautiful - and therefore a beautiful age you have created.
    Hugs, Neet 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. ...
