Touches of Texture

Touches of Texture is a NEW Stamp Set
that just became available on Wednesday.
I received it as a prize on one of the last
days of our Mediterranean Cruise.

This was the stamp set used for our
Make & Take projects.  Unfortunately the
Make & Take was scheduled while we
were on an excursion but I was able to
pick up the kits to complete on my own
at home.

Here is one of the projects that we got
to make.
Denim Touch of Textures
Don't you just love the romantic feel of this card.

The card base is Denim Dapper cardstock with
layers of the Moroccan Designer Paper.
There is a strip of the Moroccan Designer Washi Tape
down the left side.
The flower image with stamped with Memento ink.
The flowers were colored in with markers and
splattered a bit with an Aqua Painter and ink refill.

Stamp a greeting on Crumb Cake banner with Early Espresso ink.

Sagrada Familia

It is so fun to go back through pictures from a big vacation.
When you are busy taking pictures you don't realize
how truly beautiful something is.

On the first day of our trip, we arrived in
Barcelona, Spain about noon.
Tony had arranged for an afternoon tour of
the city.  A driver picked us up from the
airport and away we went.

Not only did we have our own personal driver
but we also had a personal guide to tell us all
about the city.

There was so much fabulous architecture all
around us.  This is one of our stops — we didn't
get to go inside, but we walked all around it.

Sagrada Familia Selfie
Here is Tony and I sitting in front of
Sagrada Familia.  Oh my goodness, how
beautiful and detailed this building is.

Sagrada Familia
There are carvings all around the building,
like the 12 Stations of the Cross.
Frog
This was one of the display board samples from the ship.
This frog is so cute.
Don't you must love him.
