NEW! ABAC Challenge #1: Anything Goes

It's finally here - the first challenge for the newest challenge blog on the block: Anything But A Card.

I am excited to be a part of this challenge blog, especially because it is different than all of the others. It's all about anything BUT a card.

There are so many other things that can be created, so why not stretch your creativity a little and share something besides a card with us?

 I created a little piece of crafty art. A wooden slab was covered with torn pieces of an old, well-loved romance novel. I collaged it, then embellished with twine, gold stars, "brads" & dried roses from my very own garden.

Have you made something other than a card lately? What was it? I can't wait to hear about it!

Day 68: Roses Are Red

Red mini roses grow happily on my back porch. They are quite easy to care for, too. I don't like plants that needs lots of care. I just don't have the time!

I cut the blooms, hang them upside down & let them dry. I can enjoy them longer & use them in crafts if I want.

They dry to a very dark red, which is just stunning!

I am sharing my roses with you for the 30 Days Of Reflections Photo Challenge. Today's reflection is something red.

Would you like to see my other reflections?

Yes? Oh, how fantastic!
