T is for Treasure Hunting

 Hello friends.


Happy late T-day to my T-day buddies over at Elizabeth's blog where we celebrate anything related to drinks (anyone can join, your post has to have something related to drinks). This week, Elizabeth is showing us some really fun mugs she ran across at one of her favorite stores.

I went treasure hunting last week and found a really fun mug. My grandson and I call visiting flea markets, garage sales and thrift stores Treasure Hunting. The mug was so cute I had to bring it home. 

The inside actually sold me:

I also have a few cards related to drinks:
This was my first pop-up box, and it was done for last week's WT challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com. 

This one was made using Stamperia Alice paper and was done for a patterned paper challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com.  I left out a word in the sentiment that I will fix before sending it off. 

Hope you have a great rest of the week.

Hugz,

Nancy

    I love that name. Treasure Hunting is perfect, and you did find a great spring treasure too. And I've wanted to try one of those pop up box cards. I keep seeming to forget about them, so maybe now that your reminded me about them, I may give one a try. Yours is super Nancy. In fact both of your cards are. Have a wonderful rest of your week, and I hope it was a super T day. hugs-Erika

    I wonder what is the difference between a mug and a cup. I like your new item, but to me it’s a cup. Any name — it’s still cute.

      It is a cup, Mae - lol. I used mug generically.

    Sorry I'm so late visiting. I wasn't even on the internet yesterday.

    I LOVE that new mug. It's adorable. I love the idea of treasure hunting, too. And finding that new mug was worth it!

    I love a good pun and best POP is fabulous. Of course, I adore that Alice in Wonderland inspired card. Thanks for sharing the drink inspired cards and then new mug you shared with us for T this week, dear Nancy.

    Oh how fun it is to "treasure hunt"! Love that beautiful cup you've found and with that wording inside! The pop-up card box is so fun and I love the pop bottles with it...lots of puns! LOL Your Alice card is very cool with the antique looking characters! Thanks for the fun and inspirational post my friend!

    Hi Nancy, the Easter bunny mug is really cute and pretty - a nice treasure! But I especially love your pop-up box - WOW! And I also really like the look of the Alice card.
    All the best, Traude

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....

Two Cards and Two Drinks

Today's post includes two cards and two drinks, all of which have been on my kitchen counter. Feelng a bit lost in Wonderland lately - too much work at work and home.  Thought this card would be appropriate to give myself.   The base layer is teabag glued to some heavyweight white card stock.  I used gesso to add a few scraps of Alice paper from Stamperia (too hard to throw away any of it!), and then I added a thin layer of white gesso and some water colors.  A run though the Big Shot with an embossing folder and some splatters of tea and paint added more interest.  Making this base was a bit like a trip to Wonderland as it sort of made itself over a few days - lol. I fussy cut the cat and sentiment out of the Alice papers and stapled on a border to complete the look.  Isn't this cat the cutest? Over at DRS Designs, I posted this card made from these stamps: Happy Shark Killer Birthday Fishing Square The base on the card is a watercolor wash and the ta...
