Life is a dish best served cold - or at least A La Mode!!

This week's challenge on Fantabulous Cricut is to make a card or layout with the theme of ice cream.  In general I am not the HUGEST fan of ice cream - as my family likes to put it, I am a "Social Ice Cream Eater." Now, although I myself am not such a lover of this chilly treat, so many of my closest family and friends are.  And so I dedicate this week's project to all of them;  my family and friends who, without ice cream, would simply be lost!


I used my "Sweet Treats" cartridge for the two ice cream sundays and used glossy affects on the "hot fudge to give it that really ooey gooey look (which did not translate as well in my photo but looks FANTASTIC in person! 
I am a real newbie at all of this but as I continue to work on different projects I feel and see my work getting better and better! I wish I could do more challenges per week!!!! :-)
