Snakes yep {which reminds me that i really should get them printed.....}... so i resorted to the gazillion photos of Serenity..and found one that was absolutely freaking PERFECT.......so i created this layout....
"Create the World"
see the new stuff.. i'll point it out in the closies and then do yourself a favour and go and visit the shop and snavel some of them up.......

oh oh and some Lil Red Rocket..yep the rosette flower and the coolio dotty button.....so the scrapmatts FERNS {cb1155 ferns 01}how amazing.. i've used them as leaves but hey.. whatever floats your boat..
and then just to add that lil somfin somfin up the top.. the Leaves.{cb1157 leaves 03}. squished in paint.. yum.oh oh and the background painty bit is a The Crafters Workshop template and paint with texture paste......
then i wanted some viney twiny stuff but wanted to help frame it so used some Flourishes...{cb4026 Flourishes}... just left them RAW baby..or i shouldve said Naked Baby..lol...
and i didnt want..or more to the point couldnt find the right spot for a big title..so just found a quote and cut it up and used it down the side.. who said you need a great big smack you up the chops title... i think it works...??maybe..lol....and then.. W A I T for it.. a CARD.. yep i know thats a couple of months in a row now...!!!!! and with February being LOVE month.. we for those of you who arent desperate and dateless that is.. bahahahaaa......
