Love the page and wishing I was in a boat on the water somewhere instead of in a cubicle...

Double posting from the final stretch sketch. My anniversary layout for our 33rd anniversary today. Still hard to grasp it's been that many. I remember those 2 young kids in the bottom picture just starting to make wedding plans.

I'll try to identify a few of the kits used, but I tried to use a different kit for each element. Common Threads, Birds of a Feather, Raku, Tahiti, Sprinkles and Pure and Simple.

Love it!

Wow, Rachelle! Wonderful to look back through the years.
It's so fun now to have met you both in person.
I should do something like this for our 40th last year.

Rachelle your home stretch LO is awesome. LOVE the colors.

BTW, I had my son Charley explain Hodor! hahahahahahah...poor guy. Now I understand your naming your trap after him. Charley is totally into GOT along with a number of friends. Tomorrow a bunch of them are coming over for GOT viewing and dinner, though I won't be making a traditional GOT meal. I did make myself watch last week's much talked about battle scene. OMG! Charley warned me not to watch.

great layouts and cards

Wow! what an episode to pick for your first one. Yes, the finale tonight should be epic. We're anticipating it with dread and joy.

Charley and friends have had their GOT dinner and are watching in the living room right now exclaiming and gasping as you must be. They plan on having a discussion afterwards.

Day 27
One of my favorite veggies that comes in our summer community farm boxes is kale. I used to just make pesto out of it, but I finally figured out how to make crispy kale in the microwave and I can't get enough of it now.

For inquiring minds: buy a microwave potato chip tray, (you can do it on a plate with paper towels, but the chip maker is the way to go), d-rib your kale and tear leaves into chip size pieces, arrange them in the chip maker. spritz with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasoning, (I like Mrs. Dash garlic and herb and then a light shake of salt, since it's salt free). Now the important part. 1 minute on high in the microwave. Rest for 10 seconds. Now, do 30 second intervals on high with a rest in between. It will take about a total of 3 minutes, a little more if your humidity is high. If you just punch in 3 minutes and let it go you will have burned kale, if you do it in the oven you'll probably have burned kale, if you do it in the bbq, you'll probably have burned kale. As you've probably guessed, I've burned a lot of kale.

Love your LO Rachelle and I love kale also. Is that Bon Appetite CS digi? Very pretty. I like my kale steamed and layered with brown rice and steamed red potatoes...my idea of winter comfort food.

Thanks, Farley. Yes, it is Bon Appetite digi. It's a QDDL that I added to a little. I do like purple and green together

Day 28:
My Summer of Creative Chemistry Week 4 submission. This started out as a card, but I liked it so much it turned into an 8x10 mixed media piece. The technique for the background was what I used for the challenge this week. It's called Archival Resist.

Very cool Rachelle! Great colors and blend of "things".

All those colors! What a beautiful piece of artwork.

You are doing some fantastic work! I am very interested in your Kale recipe and hope maybe to give it a try soon.
