I used all aA products plus a textured paper from VPearce. For the image,I used filters and blending modes and color enhancements to get the look that I wanted.

When I was a little girl and would help my Dad rake leaves in the fall with my dog Gyp close beside me, I would jump into the piles before he would burn them and delight in the feel of crunchy leaves and the sounds that accompanied. Once the raking and pile were complete,Dad would stand by and burn the leaves while I watched on. To this day,I can go back there to that time, if I smell leaf smoke .It's magical scent, sends me to another time filled with love and wonder and the carefree times of a young girl enjoying the moment.
