Birthday Tea with Friends

Hello crafty friends!

The WT challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com today is to make a wiper card. I don't measure well, but this was pretty easy and Splitcoaststampers has a fabulous tutorial on it. These cute little House Mouse images all jumped at the chance to be featured on the front.

Linking this up the the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC#471.

These cute mice are from a coloring book I won on a past challenge. I fussy cut them, watercolored them with Daniel Smith watercolors and rearranged them on the card so they would fit.

I can't wait to send this to one of my tea loving friends.

Hugz,

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

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...

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!
