Working it Old School...

A couple of weekends ago I was feely antsy. The kids were buzzing around and constantly beaking at me (for food) or at each other (for dominance). I brought a bunch of my craft stuff upstairs and played around making flowers just to find some serenity for a few moments. Went old school with this SU DP and made a dahlia fold flower. Mixed it up with lots more of this DP (I had a whole pack so there are lots of scraps kicking around) and an old SU stamp too. If it wasn't for that May Arts ribbon, we might have an SUO card and wouldn't that be a miracle?


Positive note of the day: Glad to get back on a schedule today. I even made beef stew (which took a lot longer than I thought it would for a crock pot concoction)...here's hoping it tastes good (since I made it from memory!).

Too funny...I made a card using this exact DP this week as well (at my SU! mtg) I have always meant to make one of those flowers, they are so pretty, and so much more intricate orgami than the funny you showed the other day LOL!

So, I love this card and colour combo. And the flower, well, it's just too cool.

OMG ... if I were to make a meal from memory, chances are my family would all end up in Emerg!
