SOMETHING FUN TO SHARE WITH YOU!

On my last post I showed you an altered Crystal Lite container filled with Dum Dum lollipops and showcasing a digi image from Nicecrane Designs.  Ignacio (the artist/owner) was so intrigued with the LOLLIPOP concept that he did some research and then made THIS . . .

(CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE)

Keep in mind, Ignacio is in SPAIN and it amazed me that he would go to this length of get the information.  LOL!  I have offered to send him a bag of these Dum Dum goodies.  The fun part is that this candy company was originally based out of Akron, OH (where I live) and it states that in the article. 

Isn't this flier amazing!!  He is SO TALENTED!

Okay ... that's it for me today!!  I've been busy helping out with the CDAC Group Heart Hop but did take a break to create this card.  I hope you like it and find inspiration in it.  Have a wonderful weekend! 

Hugs, Darlene

    This is such a pretty card. Love the colors you chose! I also have this MS punch but rarely use it because I never know how to place it. You have inspired me!
