I was going for a sunset in the desert scene. I can remember when I lived in Arizona with DH right after me and him got married (for 6 months, I got homesick, lol) We went up on a mountain called White Tanks Mountain and I saw a sunset like this. The sky was just a brilliant orange! It was sooo gorgeous! Soo tried to capture that here, with sponging! And then created a 'trail' to go along with the sentiment, lol! I stamped the sentiment and then just took my ruler and drew around it, cut it out and made the ends jagged to look like an old sign. I then added the hat, cactus, and boots from the set to the scene. The little flower on the cactus is this itty bitty paper flower that I have no idea where it came from and how I had it, lol! But added it to look like the prickly pear cactus look when they have a bloom on them. You can't really tell from the photo, but I used some of that copper sheeting to punch out corner punches in the two corners too. I saw Theresa's sister Brenda use some of it and decided I needed some too! LOL! It looks so neat IRL with the copper brads. Ok, didnt mean to get so long winded! On to the blog candy!
Wouldn't you love to WIN this set?? Well, all you have to do is leave a comment here and then spread the word by just posting a little comment on your blog about it by Monday 12:00pm, HIGH NOON!!

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
Mike
