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

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. ...
