BAJ: The Storms of Life

Hello Friends.

I have a Bible Art Journaling (BAJ) page to share today.  I cased THIS page by my friend MariLynn over at Splitcoaststampers.com (she is this week's Featured Stamper). 

I used the same verses as inspiration and kept her storming sea and shoreline.  I changed up the painting a bit doing different strokes, a stormier sky, etc.  I also did my journaling differently and added a snip of a magazine that fell out of my journaling bible when I started this (our storms in life often lead to adventures like they did for Paul).  I actually think a lot of his approach to storms when I have physical or mental storms (even tornados). 

I used Daniel Smith watercolors and white and black gel pens to do this page. 

I added three birds so it fits with Alison's Come Fly With Me theme at **ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*.   The three birds represent something from one of my daughter's recent dreams - something very dear to her.  

Thank you for visiting!  

Hugz,

Nancy

    Wow, this is a gorgeous border to your bible page Nancy. You definitely nailed the water and the grey skies. I like how you carried it just a bit into the verse too. And I don't know much about dreams, but I like the 3 birds. Smile. Thanks for joining us at AJJ for Alison's challenge. Happy new week. hugs-Erika

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....

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...

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!
