Baseball Nut!

I have never heard of the ice cream which is the inspiration for week 3 of Summer of Color.  But then England isn't known for Baseball teams!  Or for putting cashew nuts in ice cream!

It does have a football team which is playing in the quarter finals of Euro 2012 as I type. (That's Soccer for my US friends).

Anyway here is the ice cream in question:

 And the description.

"A smooth, vanilla flavored ice cream swirled with a black raspberry ribbon and loaded with cashews"      -Baskin Robbins

 And here is my journal page inspired by the ice cream colours.

Scrapbook LIfe Journal for May

As you know I have been a bit preoccupied with decorating the study and so got a bit behind with various creative projects.  One of which is the May entry for my Scrapbook Life Journal. 

I mostly ignored the prompts sent by Stephanie and so the month is a record of all the walks we took.

And because I had a spare page left for the month of May I stuck in the verse that Stephanie had sent us.

Thanks for stopping by.

Summer of Colo(u)r week 2

This week's ice cream flavour for Summer of Color has been Mint Chocolate Chip.

And here is my journal page:

I tore a piece from an old map which was mostly mint green and stuck it on the page.  I put some Dylusions Melted Chocolate Ink over the top as well as some modelling paste through a Julie Fei-Fan Balzer stencil.   I also used some gesso, some white and some black acrylic paint before stamping with Archival Aquamarine ink.

I feel there's something missing so it's perhaps not finished but I can come back to it any time.

Thanks for stopping by.
