My First Rose of Spring

I planted this bush in 06 the year we bought our house. And every year it would put out just small roses. But this first rose of this year has come in quite large. I would say a good 3 inches. So I hope thats a sign its doing pretty good where I planted it.

Shrinky Dink jewelry attempts

Ok so I read the tutorial post over at Planet June on how to make shrinky dink rings and I had a go at that and failed miserably LOL but will try again with another method. Well anyways I did manage to make a strange bracelet LOL and these 2 very pretty Hibiscus pendants which if you saw my psot the other day with the repeat pattern you will notice it is the same flower.

I used the Shrinky Dink Rough & Ready and although they do not market it to be used with ink jet printers I decided to give it a try anyways and it seems to work great. The sheets they do sell for printing pictures are white so I'm not sure light would go through them I wanted light to go through so I used this type and I don't see any reason why you can not print on these sheets.

Hibiscus Repeat Pattern

I just read a tutorial over at Craft Chi that shows how to make a repeat pattern in Photoshop. Check out the end result for me :) Feel free to download it and use it however you see fit.

Hibiscus picture was taken by me in my backyard :)
