Happy Birthday!! * SC226
Oh my … it’s been a busy week here, but I promised myself that I would play with this week’s cool SCS sketch no matter how long. As it turns out, I’m learning that it’s “ok” to start on a project, take part in “life”, and return to the project. Hey! That works for me, and it feels good! I’ve added some glitz and mini beads to this one, just for the feel of a real ‘birthday celebration”!
The ice cream sundae was stamped & colored twice, with one being covered with glossy accents, and teeny beads added to represent the chopped nuts on the topping. Next, it was carefully cut out, and layered atop the first image with bits of foam tape.
Please excuse while I temporarily digress to a much younger day … Every now & then, my Daddy & I (yes .. I was his shadow) would go to our hometown’s “drug store”, which included an original soda fountain … yes … complete with gray & white marble countertop & spinning chrome soda-fountain stools for sitting at the counter. Above us were my first encounter with embossed metal ceilings and ceiling fans gently moving the air. It was at that very soda fountain that I savored my first Chocolate Sundae, complete with homemade chocolatey sauce with a cherry on top (okay … half of a Sundae, since it was split with my Daddy.) I sincerely adore the memories of that very special place in time. Daddy’s nickname was “Red”, and I was known as “Little Red” by Daddy’s coffee club friends through my youth and beyond. I miss you to this day, Daddy!
Back to reality! I will often start a project, and stick to it until completion, no matter what the ‘clock’ says. In recent times, I’ve been trying to allow myself to “let it wait” for whatever else needs to happen in our lives. Hey! I’m really liking this! So, my SCS SC226 card wasn’t ready on the day of the SC226 post, but it’s ready to share now! I hope you enjoy! I’m looking forward to some sweet family time over the weekend, and I hope that you are as well! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Weekend to each of you!
