Well hello again! It's Tuesday already and time for a little madness! Not really but hey, it sounded like a fun thing to type! So how was your weekend? Did you do anything special? I always enjoy hearing what people get up to when they are not working and have a couple of days off. My little family took off to the Florida Keys to the Stone Crab Festival in Key Largo, and enjoyed some beautiful weather out by the ocean. It was our first visit to the Festival and boy were there a lot of people! I think half the folks who reside down there were at that festival on Saturday, the other half were there on Sunday!! It's really neat and a totally different atmosphere than where we live in Miami. Definately Jimmy Buffet style, for sure! I'll share a couple of photos at the end of my post....but first let's get down to business.

My card this week is designed using one of Priscilla's Valentine's images called Falling Hearts. Isn't it pretty! I had fun coloring this one in and didn't want to take anything away from the image so kept my card rather plain to allow the tree to take all the credit!
I colored the image in prisma colored pencils and copics with a couple of highlights in a white gel pen. The background dp was embossed with swiss dots and a floral swirl embossing folder which was a RAK from Ri on my other DT..thanks Ri...my secret Santa!
The lacey border and buttons are from JoAnn's fabric. I don't use buttons too often so I figured why not use them on this sketch and have to admit that I kinda like them! It's something a little different for me. The edge border punch is from Martha Stewart. Plain and simple really but I like how it turned out. Oh forgot the paper...SEI Winter Song!
I hope you will take the time to join in the fun at Midnight Madness and show us your creativity!
Don't forget to leave some love on my DT sisters blogs too!
Here are a couple of pickies from my weekend!

A pelican on the post by the boats docked at Islamorada fish company. See how still the water is!
A boat decorated like a Pirate ship for the festival! Super cute for the children to see!
Well I hope your week is a good one!
Love and hugs,
