I just returned from a mini trip to San Diego. I had a fun 4 days hanging out there. I live an hour away from downtown San Diego but we really haven't spent much time there since moving to California from Hawaii 5 years ago. We decided to check out a few of the attractions that we haven't visited for a while such as Balboa Park where all the museums are located and hang around the Gas Lamp section of downtown. We also visited Sea World. . .unfortunately, the day we were there one of the Orca whales died. That was very sad. We didn't know until we saw it on the news but while we were there, they had asked the visitors to leave a certain section of the park. We didn't understand what was going on but later realized what happened. Apparently, the whale was acting a little sluggish the day prior and he just suddenly died.

Anyway. . .let me give you a bit of detail about my card. I heat embossed the images on to black card stock using Stampin Up Real Red embossing powder. That's basically the main feature of my card. I used Real Red, Speckled Black, and Kraft card stock. I used my Nestabilities die to create the shape and the stamp sets I used are Stampin Up "Eastern Bloom, Flight of the Butterfly, and the sentiment from the Essence of Love stamp set.

Well. . .I think that's it for today. I'm hoping to be more crafty this weekend. . .hopefully, I can work on a few more projects and be able to post them this week. I'm praying my crafting mojo will hang around. . .:)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
