It's really the best way to see the city, but it's not for the faint of heart! This past August, Brian and I spent some time in San Francisco.  On one of our jaunts, we headed over to Lombard Street, the city's famous crazy, curvy downhill street.  Can you imagine driving down this street in a car?  How about in a go-cart?  Well, that's how we did it!

The colors in the photo on the left reminded me of the Flirty paper packet, so it's what I used to create this layout.

Materials (all from Close To My Heart):

  • Flirty Workshop on the Go (paper, embellishments, pattern)
  • Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (title, label on journaling pocket)
  • Goldrush and Chocolate Exclusive Inks stamp pads
  • Liquid Glass

If you ever go to San Francisco, I highly recommend the go-cart tours.  It's really the best way to see the city, but it's not for the faint of heart!
