"Ice Cream" - Blog with Friends


Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful and enjoyable weekend and are ready to join me and some of my blogging friends for some wonderful topics associated with "Ice Cream". That's our theme this month for "Blog with Friends".

Be sure to read to the bottom of this post and access my friends' content. Of course, we all appreciate blog love so please consider leaving a message when you visit.


So I decided to step outside the box a bit as you notice my creation has nothing to do with ice cream. Or does it? Okay, okay. Truth be told, I saw a little bit of rainbow ice cream in the way this chameleon is colored so I figured that worked and besides, I wanted to show you this fun creation!


This is a fun treat that is perfect for anyone! Need something to welcome a new neighbor? How 'bout a new co-worker? What about a well wish for the new school year, for a student or a teacher? No matter who they are created for, no doubt they'll put some happy on the face of the recipient. 


To easily and quickly color the images, I used Sponge Daubers. By using one Dauber for each color, I patted them in various ink colors. Then, I "smeared" them over the chameleons, repeatedly, until I had the desired look. Tip: Know that the ink takes a few minutes to soak into the paper, leaving this awesome and vibrant look, don't you just love it?



And let's talk about LOVE! I love this Wild & Punny stamp set. The images and sentiments are so adorable and always make me crack up when I read them! It is only available through the end of this month, while supplies last. That's right! They are retiring SOON! Be sure to get this stamp set, and other retiring products, before they are gone!


These are the dimensions for recreating these tasty treats, which contain four Hershey Kisses. AND, you can use the flavor you like so you can eat the leftovers. Okay, so maybe that's not the best advice. LOL (By the way, there are Cookies 'n Cream kisses, another flavor of ice cream and one of my absolute favorites!)

I did teach this in my VIP Group this past Saturday. If you would enjoy being a member of that group where I share fun stuff, contact me directly or you can request to JOIN HERE. I would love to have you!

Now it's time to move onto my "Blog with Friends" posts. Be sure to check them out for some great and tasty information. You'll be glad you did!

Make this week a great one!

"Mix It Up!" Technique Blog Hop




Welcome to this month's Technique Blog Hop where we are Mixin' It up! That means participating Close To My Heart Consultants can use our Mix-Ins paper packet for their artwork OR they can mix and match papers from various paper packs! I can't wait to see what they have to share!

If you are coming from Tamara's Blog, you are on the right track. You will find a complete list of participants at the bottom of this post, if you were to get lost along the way.
For my card, I chose to use the Mix-Ins Paper Pack. Why do they call it that? Because it's a great selection of colors and patterns that can be MIXED IN (ha! Get it?) with other papers! I especially love this one because of the black and white patterns, which can go with anything!


Because I wanted a "fiesta" color combination for my papers, I chose to use my favorite pattern (of course) from that paper pack AND then added some Lagoon and Pixie cardstock. Can you see the GREAT potential of this product?!


Of course, the Wild & Punny stamp set helped to make this card super fun. I hope it makes you smile, like it does for me.


I colored the llama, and the White Dots, with our ShinHan markers.

Thanks so much for taking a moment to stop by. Now head to Katy's Blog. She's always got something great to share and I'm sure that's the case today!

Make it a great week!
