Summer Sweets!

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

I can't believe how fast the month of June has flown by! Here is my card for this month's duel between the Divas and Darlings. Carol is our hostess for the Divas this month and she sent us a cute summery kit to play with. The image is from the Greeting Farm (Miss Anaya).

Mystery Image Swap

Hello Hello

Popping in with my card for the latest Mystery Image Swap over on SCS. Paola was our hostess this time and she sent us the cutest Whipper Snapper images :) I colored these while I was on a "stamping retreat" in Waukesha about 5 weeks (has it been that long??) ago. One of the best parts of the weekend is when Paola surprised us by calling to chat :) (Paola is also in our monthly Duelings & Darlings Duel).

Most of the supplies used are from SU! on this card, although I did squeeze in some October Afternoon DP (red and white pattern).

Let's Celebrate YOU

Hello ~ Hello! 

I hope you are enjoying your Monday! The weather is finally gorgeous here - after a week of dreariness and quite a bit of rain. 

Just popping in with my card for this week's MFT Sketch (#126). I love this Birthday Girl PI and when I recently got the October Afternoon 8X8 Cakewalk pad I knew it would be a perfect match.
