Who said it NEVER Rains in California?

It rained today! What month is it? JULY??? in California?? And we're in the middle of a drought? Wow..it is humid, and this is like Florida weather! Whats up with this? I don't have any idea, but....God must have some great plans for this!

It didn't do alot, except just make everything muggy and icky. I have my swim suit on and it is now 8:25 pm! and I still am TOO HOT!

Well, we might have to turn on the A/C tonight. I haven't stamped like I thought I would since someone was taking a Drivers' Ed class online, and wouldn't move.....But, I hope to do some later tonight!







Well, I did do some 'stamping'. I pulled out my Pretties Kit and decided to try to do some 'coloring'!

You first have to decide which flower you want to use.

Then, you pick out your colors. Look at nature and see where colors come out from flowers. Do the darker colors stay only in the center or are they around the edges? Are the lighter colors always in the inside or do they come from the sides and undersides?


I played with several flowers, and I used the daubers for the flowers shown here...and in the card....This color to the left is Summer Sun with Pumpkin touching the edges.


The flower in this card is using Blush blossom, Summer Sun, Pretty in Pink and Pixie Pink. You can see the Blush Blossom around the edges of the larger flower.

I tied the center using the hemp cording into a celery button for the center of the flower.








This is the finished card. I think it complements the colors and still stands out. This is the NEW Double stitched ribbon...I love this color!
