Birthday Card Using Conie Fong Summer Dreams

Hello friends!  How is everyone?  It has been a little cooler in Southern CA; but I still haven't had much energy to create.  I know many of you are super busy getting the kids ready to go back to school; which is always a lot of fun. 

It took me a while to get this one colored and created.  It seems to be taking more time to create.  I think my creative Mojo is taking a much needed break.  I was creating every week and sometimes more than once a week; but I haven't had the time to do that lately.  The desire is still there; but I am trying to exercise at least 30 min to 1 hr. a day; which is more than I was doing.  Exercising takes time.

I created this card using Conie Fong "Summer Dreams" which is one of my favorite images.  I love them all; so I always have trouble choosing one to work with.  I love coloring hair; especially long hair.  I hope you enjoy this creation.  It is more clean and simple than my normal; but I love clean and simple.
