Find Joy

Made another art journal page.

This adorable image is made by Nicci Battilana and can be purchased Here - she is called Sheri's A Doll.  For the background I used several colors of Gelatos with water.  I traced on the image onto my page, coloring her in with distressed markers.  I drew on the umbrella, hearts, grass and flowers in the grass.  The flower on the right hand top of the page is a stencil, along with the words.  The swirls are sponge stamps.

Nuts In A Tree

Made this card using Art Impressions stamp set called Girlfriends Laughing Set.

These two gals remind me of my long time friend and me.  There have been times when we would be up all night talking and laughing.

I made a Z fold card using the colors orange, purple and black.  I also used a sticker of a moon to represent the night.  Love the saying too :-)

Kingdom Come - Week 1 Lesson

I am taking an online art class called Kingdom Come

It's a free 5 week series about the wonderful aspects of Christ Jesus, Praise and Worship, and His Church.

It will be taking a look at 5 themes and making art around those themes.

I just completed the Week 1 Lesson.  Here is my project.

I used several colors of paint on this, stencils, mod podge, painters tape, and pages from an old book.
I typed out the Galatians 2:20-21 verse and glued it on, then used distress ink on it.

Galatians 2:20-21
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.
I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law then Christ died needlessly.

Kingdom Come

Week 1: "Jesus Saves"- Art journal page based on Jesus and who He is.

You are Beautiful

Made another art journal page.

I used the Inspiration Photo from Bev's Challenge #1 at  Scrapping Everday Miracles Mini Crop.

I was inspired by the butterflies and the verse.

The background of my page is made using watercolor paints.

The butterflies and the girl and message are all stamped on, then colored with distressed markers.

The two flowers are stenciled on with distress markers.   I hand wrote on the verse.

In my thoughts and prayers

Made this card for a friend who is going through some struggles right now.

For the top of my card I colored in strips of yellow and light orange.  The bottom of the card is yellow and orange circles.  I placed a strip of patterned ribbon between the two. It's kind of hard to tell, but the ribbon has the two colors in it.  I added three flowers along with three brads to it.  Then stamped on the You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Scrapping Everyday Mini Crop

At Scrapping Everyday Miracles we are hosting a Welcome Back Mini Crop.

There are six different challenges to play along in during the month of September.

You don't want to miss it!

My challenge is the #4 one...hope you will join me in this - along with all of the challenges.

My challenge is a Theme challenge.  The theme is Walking with Jesus.  The Scripture I chose is Colossians 2:6 Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.

Here is my project:

My project is Mixed Media.  I used a 8x10 canvas for the base.  I used gesso, water color paints, stencils, and stamps.  I printed out the Scripture and cut each saying out and attached them with glue. I also cut out some stars and hearts and attached them on.

The flip flops and the two other saying are stamped on using ODBD's stamps.  I used two stencils and gesso to form the textured areas.  They are suppose to represent feet.

So come on over to Scrapping Everyday Miracles Challenge Blog to play along and have a chance to win!
