~Eternal Summer~




Oooooh, today is a SCORCHER.


These are the days I'm glad my crafting nook is in the basement.


It balances out those cold winter months when I use a microwave-heated wrap.   ;)


I picked up this stamp set while visiting my family (yup I  snuck out to the nearest craft store and checked out the goods). 


I love the huge lanterns in BoBunny's Serenity stamp set-endless possibilities!


It paired nicely with Flourishes' sentiment from the Hydrangea set~inked in several colors.





I used Staz On ink on vellum for CAS-ual Fridays:CFC57.




There is a bit of glitter and shine in the ribbon, and the gold part of the lantern was colored in with a Uni-ball pen (shiny in person).



Something Shiny



Have a great day~thanks for stopping by and keeping me company. ;)
