More Fried Green Tomatoes, Baseball, a Dragon's Eye, and Some Art

Hello friends! Happy T-day if you celebrate it!


This weekend, my youngest daughter turned 28 and she wanted to do a girls brunch.  She picked KimberLia's in downtown Prattville.  This is a picture of her sister's fried green tomato BLT and our waters.  We also had Mimosas and coffee, but, of course, I forgot to take a picture.  The jazz band they had playing was super loud and there was a party next to us of very loud people so it was hard to talk or think.  The service was very slow, but the food was good.  We ended up having coffee across the street just to catch up and relax. These waters are my ticket to T-day over at Elizabeth's blog. 

Baseball tournaments are in full swing this week - we have 1-2 games every night this week except Wednesday.  This is the banner for our oldest Grandson's team.
One of the mothers is a photographer and very good at making banners. 

I squeezed in some art this week too - here a a few of the cards I made.

This one was inspired by THIS  notebook.  I sent it to my dragon loving grandson. 

This was my daughter's birthday card.  She loves vintage, flowers, and Harry Potter, so I wrapped the flowers in Harry Potter newspaper. 

This one was done for two watercolor challenges on Splitcoasterstampers.com - one was funky butterflies and one was loose backgrounds. 
Hope you have a fabulous rest of the week!  

Hugz,

Nancy

  2. I so would like to try green fried tomatoes!
    Sad about the loud place, though. I´d go nuts....
    1-2 games every night?! That sounds like stress ;-)
    Beautiful, both, the book and your work.
    And the card, very beautiful.
    "Enjoy Today" and happy T-Day, hugz

  5. I've never eaten fried green tomatoes, you don't get them in our country. Hopefully I'll come to the USA again, then I'll try it... Your cards are lovely! Happy birthday to your youngest daughter!

  6. I don't like it when a place is so loud that you can't talk with each other.
    The card you made for your daughter's birthday is truly beautiful as are the others, but this one stood out for me. Just beautiful.

  7. Sorry the birthday girl had to put up with a noisy crowd but the BLT sounds good, even to this vegetarian.

    LOVE the cards you made, especially the one for your daughter. I almost missed the key I was so caught up in that newspaper. I loved the butterflies, too.

    What a week. You will be glad when baseball season is over, but I sure like the banner the lady made.

    Thanks for sharing your cards, your grandson's banner, and your food and water with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.

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
