Baby Giant

I love how this picture looks like Rayna is a giant, plucking trees off the shoreline to use to dig in the dirt.  This was also the day that she ate the sand with gusto and cried whenever we tried to get it out of her mouth! LOL

This was my first successful attempt to make fan flowers.  There is NOTHING particularly difficult about them but somehow mine always turned out weird or not at all.  Then I saw a step-by-step tutorial on someone's blog (sorry, can't remember who) and I just went "AHHH, that's how you do it."  (however, if you look closely you can see that one of the flowers is a bit weird because somehow i cut the paper crooked.  Heck, I used it anyway, whooo cares???)
What technique have you tried over and over again but just not gotten the hang of?  (For the life of me I cannot use Flock - it drives me flockin crazy!)

Great flowers! Love the photo, too funny!

I don't usually try things over and over, if it doesn't work the first time or two, I give up, my time is too valuable (my scrap time especially) and I'm too lazy!
