Whimsy Mouse Christmas Card and California Coastal Drive San Simeon and Cambria


Hello Friends!  I'm sorry I haven't posted regularly like I said I would.  I have had a bit of issue with Google saving my photos that I took with my phone in a timely manner so I couldn't upload photos to my blog.  I, finally, figured out that if I upload photos to my blog through my phone instead of my computer I can post the photos and use my computer to type the narrative.  It's a little cumbersome but it's okay.  

I've been playing around with using my embossing folders and coloring the embossed background with ink.  It's been really fun to experiment.  I also started working with mixed media using watercolor, distress ink, acrylic pain, collages and stencils.  I'll share my creations with the mixed media next time.

The image on this card is by Whimsy Stamps.  This stamp is an old one but it has always been one of my favorites.  The image was colored using Copic Markers.
 


I just want to share more photos of my drive along the California Coast through the Pacific Coast Highway.  Sadly due to a hurricane and high waves the last 2 weeks, some of the coast along the highway are eroding and the cliffs are falling into the ocean.  Part of PCH may need to close down along the Laguna coast.  Luckily, I've driven that part of the coast many times but I hope it doesn't fall into the ocean.  It's a beautiful drive through there.

These photos were taken in San Simeon and Cambria, towns near the Hearst Castle.

These photos were taken in Cambria overlooking the  coastal homes located on the cliffs.
