Hello ~
It's time for this month's duel between the darlings and divas. Barb is our hostess this month the theme is "Cool Creations". We (the divas) received a yummy kit this month! Barb never disappoints! The image is from Whipper Snapper Stamps (Haagen Daz Bear).
Recently I was going through some of my stamping stash and I found my SU! Watercolor Wonder Crayons. I haven't used them in a long time so I thought this would be the perfect image as I wanted to keep the colors softer to match the sweet paper barb sent us :)
Our extra challenge this month is to share our favorite summer "cooler". My favorite summer treat is Drumsticks. I like the ones with the caramel in the middle. My niece Tavi Pearl likes them too, so I have to make sure I keep them stocked well during the summer months :) I also like a Pina Colada once in awhile. If a beverage is fruity - I'm more than likely going to love it :) My other summer treat addiction is ice cream from a local place called the Chocolate Shoppe :) Mint Avalanche is my favorite flavor! Yummy!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ

LJ, what a fun card! Love the soft/muted coloring, compliments of your great talent as well as the SU crayons. Adorable! And what a fabulous layout, too.
Your summer treats sounds wonderful. I hope you and Miss Tavi get to enjoy a drumstick often this summer!
Cute, I love how the ice cream towers over the back panels! too cute :)
Darling card, LJ! Love the soft, dreamy colors you used to color this sweet image. Love those papers and that twine...perfect choices.
Your cool summer treat sounds yummy! I didn't not they made drumsticks with caramel centers. I'll have to look for those.
I think that scallop die cut is the perfect frame for your image. It goes perfectly!
When I think of Pina's it reminds me of my girlfriend. She likes Chi Chi's (Pina's with vodka instead of rum). Whenever she has one she texts us girls "Time to Chi Chi"! I am not a rum fan, so I too like the Chi Chi's! Especially in Hawaii, when they put a splash of strawberry down one side and call them a Volcano! Yummy!
LJ--your card is too cute. Love how you used so much of the kit. I really like that you cut out the image--and I know I always say that for your cards! Those crayons were perfect for coloring!
Thanks for the awesome creation that month--and keep eating ice cream!
This card is adorable LJ.. I am loving the way you used your kit. Great layout and the dsp combos are wonderful...Great job my friend......♥
LJ, what a wonderful card! I think your choice of using the Watercolor Wonder crayons was wise, and your technique with them is super! I love the subtle colors you achieved. Such a cute layout too.
I can just imagine you and Tavi enjoying those drumsticks!
Oh yumm!! What a beautiful card creation, love the design of the panels. How sweet that you have the summer with Tavy to enjoy all the wonders and fun of summer!
Prayers being said, my friend.
Blessings!
I really like the soft colors you used. And I
like how you cut out the bear image and framed it with the brads in each corner of the frame. Wonderfully sweet card.
What a cute card LJ! Love how you fussy cut the image!
Great job!!
I like drumsticks, too, but because of the nuts we do not tend to ever have them in the house. :(
Very cute card! I think the watercolors were an excellent choice
