I can eat ice cream 365 days of the year! And I do! Every night I have to have a small (sometimes not so small) dish of ice cream. My new favorite flavor is Hagen Daz Mocha Chip.

World Map

Happy Tuesday. I tried my hand at some Glimmer Mist. I really do not like messy things. I do like the way the Flourishes Antique Map came out. I daubed it with Adirondack Latte and Stonewashed inks, then spritzed it with Glimmer Mist. I colored the ship from Flourishes "A Guiding Light," with copics and maybe overspritzed it! Definitely made it grungy! Thanks for stopping by and I welcome your comments.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge

The weather has been gorgeous. So guess what I have been on the golf course. I did manage to get a couple of cards finished. Here is one for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. The challenge was to "Picture It." I can certainly picture butterflies and cherry blossoms. This is from Flourishes new release: Cherry Blossoms.

To The Moon

This is for my grandson: Paxton: Grandma loves you to the moon and back. Yesterday, he was 8 months old and he is a cutie patootie! This is Tami Mayberry's stamp set for Gina K. In the process of making this card, I misplaced the sentiment stamp and it took me two days to find it. It actually drove me crazy because I like everything in its place and right now, nothing is in its place. Can I please have 48 hours in a day!!! Stay tuned I have some new rubba and new posts will be coming soon!

A bit of scrappin'

Monday Again?

What happened to the weather? Yikes, it was wet, raw and nasty this weekend! Great day for a yard sale. Good thing we have a big garage, but I do think it kept the stampers away. Oh well! The weather is partly the reason for my card today. I am thinking warm, beachy, sunny. Get my drift, no not a snow drift but a sand drift... Thanks for stopping by. Oh by the way I will be designing for DRS Designs so stay tuned!

Key to Your Future
