Yarn and Felt Wreath

Hi, to All!
Today I have a project prepared a few months ago
It's a lovely yarn and felt wreath 
that's placed at the door of my
scraproom.
Take a look!


A few months ago I visited a very good friend
that moved recently to Florida.
We went to the Southern Women Fair in Orlando and
saw this wonderful project there.
Then we got together and started creating 
and this is the result.  Love it!!
All flowers are hand-cut from several felt colors.
The wreath is made of straw and covered completely with yarn.
Do you like it?

Until next time, 
Hugs,

Try Something New!

Today is my first post as DT for the 7 Kids Challenge Blog!
I am very happy to be part of their team and the challenge for this week
is to Try Something New.
 Just use a new technique, idea, or product.  
Here's the card I made for this challenge
Coloring with my copics on kraft paper was really
something new for me to try.
It's a little bit tricky because the usual colors 
might not work, I had to use darker shades to 
get through the dark paper.
Liked the result, although not really happy 
...just have to keep practicing.
Tell me what you think.

Here's a closer look..
.
flowers from Kaisercraft, and the sentiment is made up
using my computer. Papers are from the Love Me and Fun Day Col 
from My Minds Eye. Other: old heart button, small black brads.

Try something new and show it to us!
Place  your project at 
 by Tuesday at Midday CST! 
Hugs,
