Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.

Hey there from Nannyland,
I think we all reach a point in our lives where things seem to be whirling around us at breakneck speed, and we realize we need to slow down and find a peaceful space to rest, both physically and mentally. Nannyland is by far the most peaceful place for me and art journaling sooths my soul like no other pursuit.
Coloring this absolutely gorgeous digital stamp by Julia Spiri was just what I needed to rejuvenate my frazzled spirit. I'm trying to adjust to some new meds, and my body needs a place to practice faith in a good outcome. My original plan for my journal pages was to use a laurel wreath die on the inspiration page, but I couldn't find it in my stash. Once again, Cricut Design Space came to the rescue. I found a heart-framed peace sign and added a fabulous layered dove with heart cut-outs to the center. I used the curve and writing features for my sentiment.
After fussy cutting her, I adhered her to a lacy white die cut with a gold scalloped panel in the center and surrounded her with sparkly blue gems. I used pink gems for her earrings and a Spellbinders flower to embellish the feathers in her hair. A white gel pen was used for extra detail.
I'm a believer that peace starts with the small gestures and kindnesses we share with those around us every day. I know the incredible makers in our crafting community are full of smiles and encouragement for each other, whether virtual or in person. That's why I love hanging out here so much. Sending smiles and hugs all over the place...pass it on.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
