Hi Everyone!

It's the 15th of the month which means it's time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings challenge.

I think we are all in the "Summer" card making mode so why not jump on in and enter our challenge? You could win a great prize from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

The theme this time is "Cool IT!". With a record number of days in July over 100 degrees, we could all stand to "cool it"!  :)

For my card, I used the "Ice Cream Cone" stamp that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

I chose to use "sherbet" scoops for my cone to match the pretty Lemon Diamond Satin and Orange Swirls from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The cardstock is Oatmeal Hopsack and Brilliant White from Discount Card Stock.

I used a Fine Tip Sharpie marker do doodle the frame around the cone and the sentiment.

The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I like to carry elements throughout my card. If you will notice the diamonds on the ribbon, the diamonds on the cone and I also crosshatched over the image piece, including the cone. I kind of like the effect! :)

Here is a look at my stamp. It sells for just $4.99 @ Clear Dollar Stamps!

My son and daughter-in love went to the Branson area for their honeymoon and stayed at an amazing Bass Pro resort called Big Cedar Lodge. Hubby and I stayed there last year and they have the most wonderful restaurants on site. I told the kids they had to try the Blueberry Poppy Seed Dressings that The Devil's Pool Restaurant serves. They did and liked it. They were super thoughtful and brought us home a bottle! Mmmmnum yummy! :)

I love it on my special concoction salad I like to call "True's Spinach Salad". Real original right? LOL!

I got a brand new camera the other day and wanted to try it out so...you get to see my salad! :)

I just thought it was a good subject matter for testing the "background de-focus" feature on my camera. It turned out good thus the bonus recipe post! LOL!

I don't measure when I make this but I can tell you what is in it and you can add whatever amounts of each ingredient you like to suit your own taste.

Baby Spinach

Lightly seasoned sauteed chicken chunks (salt, pepper, a little seasoned salt) *cooled*
