Wednesday and we're here at the midpoint in the week ... again!

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ...

My C6 card

Materials used:

  • Card in white and mid blue, for my card front, insert and matting
  • Scrap of card with a die cut circle, to use as a mask
  • Art Gone Wild car image (MI-2511) stamped using Versafine onyx black ink including on to a post it which I fussy cut to use as a mask
  • With my car and circle masks taped in place, I applied Brilliance sky blue ink before overlaying my Dylusions squares stencil and laying down another layer of the sky blue ink
  • I removed the circle mask but left the car mask in place before "splattering" some watered down and mixed blue mica powders
  • Once that was dry I stamped the Stampendous sentiment (from SSC1115) using Versafine onyx black ink

Some more vacation pix from Florida ... if you have the time and inclination then please do enjoy a virtual vacation with me ....

It was my birthday, so we went to one of our fave haunts,
to celebrate, Manny's Chop House, where they give you dessert
on your birthday - but there is no way the two of us could have done
that justice, so we settled on ice cream! Thanks so much JenniferC


Thank you to my family and friends who either mailed to
my vacation address or got them to my home in time
for hubby to bring them with us!

One afternoon, as I sat reading, I spotted this tortoise getting his steps in by walking around our pool area. I grabbed my phone for a pic .... sadly missing the rabbit doing the same thing, but I DID catch one of the gecko's sunning itself instead!


And we usually make time to head to the Celebration township, it had been so very hot that it was only in our last couple of days that we made it. It was around 35° so, not like we were going to be taking the scenic walk around the lake/s but we did manage a little shopping and a beer at the Celebration Town Tavern - we hadn't been in there for more than five minutes before the rain was coming down in stair rods!!! We were "trapped" in the bar for twenty minutes or so!! At least, that's our excuse and we're sticking with it!!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy! You put up a great selection, especially the critters. I'm sorry you were hampered by extreme heat, but I'm glad you got out when you could! Hugs, Darnell
