Happy 4th of July!

I tried making fireworks with Tim Holtz' new Distress Spritz and not sure I succeeded but I tried. It dries pretty fast :). I used Worn Lipstick and Uncharted Mariner.

Our daughter is coming tomorrow from FL and will be headed to Africa next week for a fun-filled 10 day African safari!! I wish I had done all this travelling when I was younger!! We get to watch her dog, Tino for the week. I wonder what he will think of our new swimming pool that we've had built since he was here? (They moved to FL in December 2023)

This Many Candles Means a Bigger Cake!

I am enjoying this Solar Paste by Simon Hurley. I used it to make my stars from my stencil. Ollie will be 10 soon so I made this for him. I colored with my Copic markers and used the Colorless Blender pen to make the little mark in the balloon.

I made this for my cousin's son who is getting married this month in Texas.

Just Because

The latest stamps that came out by Tim Holtz has die cuts to go along with them at Simon Says Stamps so I couldn't resist his latest flower release. I bought both sets with die cuts. I used a brick wall embossing folder going the wrong way to give it some texture on the base card. Colored it with my copic markers then had to color my paper behind it with copics to match the blue flower.
