Thank you...

....for Fall!! Mann, this summer was pretty crazy, huh? That heat wave did me in. How creative did I feel when I got home from work smelling like sweaty dirt! I always took a shower right away but then I would fall asleep for at least an hour. My hubby bubby and the kids were very understanding and supportive through it all. So now, the weather is GREAT, work has slowed down to a normal pace, and I feel good. My creativity has bloomed! However, now my hari (pronounced hottie) is not so happy that I get so much pleasure making stuff! Cause as you all know, we don't just make cards. So since I have been able to get these new products...I want to see them used to perfection! Well in my eyes anyway. I must add that he doesn't mind, too much. Just a little.
I want to tell you a little about this flower. I colored it with pastels and a blender pen. For the center, i used 3 brads. I put a mini glue dot on top of each brad and dipped them each in some shaved soap (japanese pear is my fav right now. You can purchase them by clicking on the link below for Mia Bella Candles. Look for Dawn Ramirez scented candles and click on the link). Then with the blender pen, i just dotted some yellow dots a few times on the brads. Twine was wrapped around and tied in a knot right under the flower and Presto Chango! The card was complete.
