Scrap Etc. #9 Challenge...

was to create a layout about a birthday(s) and hand make at least one embellishment. Well, this is about my recent birthday and the little rosette is handmade.

I made the rosette by making several different size circles, spraying the back of each circle with Glimmer Mist, inking edges of rosette, and then roughing up the edges with my finger nail. Attached all the circles and inserted a brad in the middle. These were extrememly easy. Got the idea from Prima's lollipop flowers. I used the heart shaped candy boxes from Vday to make the big and little hearts. All patterned paper used was the Daisy D's that I have been hoarding since about 2005. Also the card that came with the roses is behind the picture and the raffia was tied around the roses when they arrived.

It seems like I am getting board with one layout at a time and eventually start throwing down whatever just to hurry up and get it done. I did it on the last one and did it on this one too. Hmmm... i think I need to just have some fun with my layouts and not really care how they turn out.;)
