How to: take a rest

Happy Friday everyone and Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate! There are plenty of reasons to celebrate this Friday!

Second: we have got a new GDT: Cindy! And she will stay with us for the next 3 months, so visit her blog and show her some love!

And finally fourth: this is the card I made for my fiance, because of his B'day tomorrow! He doesn't come here very often... I doubt if he EVER comes here...

I am using a sponsor's image 'Relaxing guy' and this is how my fiance looks like when he gets back from work. The digi is colored with Promarkers and placed on a 3D foam.
