Hi Folks! Hope your Thursday has gone well. It's cold again here and while many fix soup or stew, Honey and I like to eat Mexican food when it's cold. (Maybe it's a Southern thang? My dad always made chili with tamales. He'd say, chili when it's chilly!) Well, Honey didn't feel like making chili tonight so we made what we call Taco Pockets. He made the regular seasoned taco meat but instead of taco shells, he put it in crescent rolls as a filling before rolling up and baking. Yum, so so good! I had mine with some Progresso Garden Vegetable Soup (and a few taco chips in there to make it taco soup, lol). It did the trick, warmed me up!
I'm popping in to share this slimline card I made using the digital image provided at Gecko Galz Monthly Image Challenge:
The image is very long and fit PERFECTLY inside my largest Tutti Designs Slimline Torn Edge Rectangles Frame. I created the sentiment in PSE in a gold-ish color and the smallest die in my Spellbinders A2 Torn Edges dies fit it perfectly. Since the colors in the image are so wonderful, I did nothing else except add some scalloped-punched edging from my paper stash that was leftover from another make and color-matched with the lighter blue in her dress. I cut the frame out of a yummy yellow SU card in my scraps as I had a yellow envelope.
Here's a photo of the back decorated with more papers from the front, plus the siggie stamped on a scrap of AU card that went well with the front's colors.
Here is the stamped and heat-embossed Stamp Magick siggie.
And a final view. This was made for a girlfriend of mine who loves Loving Caliber's Christmas song, Magic Day, which is why I chose the outside sentiment. I'm waiting to add an inside sentiment as her birthday is a few months off yet. I hope you are all warm, safe and well! Until next time, keep it crafty! xoxo

Very nice. The yellow and the royal blue look so pretty together. Slimline are a different kettle of fish eh? You nailed it.

Those taco roll ups sound yummy. I might have to steal that idea Aimeslee. And I really like this card. What a striking image. It makes a beautiful card. I like these popular slim-line cards too. I'll be back later to check out you newest blog posts. For some reason this morning has gotten away from me. hugs-Erika
