I had to use a retired Textured Impressions folder and I hadn't realized until after making the card that Bashful Blue is retired too. *sigh* Oh well! I'm not currently a demo, so whatever!
edit: I forgot to give credit to the inspiring artist! I found a card with this layout at: http://h2designs.blogspot.com/2015/0...peek-week.html
My younger son (currently 9 yrs old) gave me strict instructions on what to change based upon what I currently have, and I selected the finishing touches. The boy won't eat ice cream (too cold!) but insisted Aunt C would like the ice cream better than a cupcake. LOL

Welcome to SCS, and congratulations on your first upload! And it's beautiful, and I agree with Sabrina that it doesn't matter whether a color is retired! I love this color and still use it (and lots of retired colors)! It's beautiful, and I know your aunt will love it. I see you are from Florida. Where in FL do you live? We are in South Florida.
I know you'll find lots of inspiration and encouragement here at SCS, and perhaps you might consider joining a challenge found on the Home Page. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work! Hugs!
P. S. If there are any questions you have, don't hesitate to send me a pm. I'm happy to help! And you might also want to go to the Forum, "Start Here" and get familiar with SCS and perhaps introduce yourself (by starting a new thread). Here's a direct link.

LOL, you said 'retired' like it's a bad thing.....I'm retired! Everything about this is terrific, I love the colour combo and fun layout. This is a terrific way to start your gallery. Welcome to SCS.

Thanks everyone! BTW, my reason for pointing out the retired portions is that I plan to become a demo again soon. But I suppose that doesn't matter now, only once I rejoin and only on my blog.
