Flower Blessings



What a wonderful weekend!  The weather has been absolutely PERFECT with lots of sunshine and temps in the 70's!  I spent most of yesterday at the Memorial Tournament enjoying the golf, for sure, but also the gorgeous course!  To celebrate, I brought bit of that summer wonderfulness into my craft room!

I used a new Papertrey Ink set Brushed Blooms and an oldie, but well-loved set Friendship Jar.  I made some mists (water and ink) to match the colors being used for the background.  I tried a brand new technique: Condensation -- such fun!!


 Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration and letting me share!

It's not only contest time, but Mojo Monday is looking for two Design Team members!!!
