Decadent Desserts


Happy Saturday, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  Today was  designated 'clean craft room day', and I did clear a space on my desk.... but then I found this image and it was begging me to play.  So how could I resist?  This fun image and sentiment are from the Decandent Desserts set by Doodle Pantry.  I  paired the yummy image with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The image was colored with Copics and a red Spica pen.  I also layered on some liquid glass.   The embossed background was colored with various chalks and embellished with some tiny rhinestones.  Talk about quick and easy!

This set always makes me smile and reminds of some fun childhood memories.  When I was growing up, we did not have air conditioning.  So on hot steamy nights, my dad would take us for a drive to cool off, and we would stop at "Price's Dairy" for the best  milkshakes ever!  -- They were so thick  you could hardly suck them through a straw.  Thanks Laurie, for the fun memories your sweet image evoked!

So glad you stopped by today!  Thanks so much!

  5. What perfection! LOVE this!!! The folder and the glossy, and the spica pens are all so perfect. Love it! This is another image I haven't created with - guess I should get crackin' don't you think? Great story! Aren't we spoiled today? The AC is out in my car, and it's the compressor...going to be very pricey to fix, so I'm using windows - can't remember not having AC in a car in my whole adulthood!!! Have a good weekend!
