Good Morning!!!
Here it is - the end of January 2012!!! How did that happen? Where did the month go? Man! Time is flying by too fast for me! What about you?
Last Saturday afternoon a Stampin' Friend and I held a Card Class for the ``seniors`` - (over 50) - at our church. (I`ll show you those pics later this week)... After I packed all my stuff the MOJO hit me and before I left the house I made this card ... Hope you enjoy!
I LOVE making these flowers by wetting and scrunching the DSP!
The inside is pretty simple - a little piece of DSP and some lace....
The sad part of it is I haven`t been back in my Craft room since then.... I do have some other stuff to show you though as the week goes on...
Thanks for peeking in today!
HUGS!

Flowers - and more...
HEY!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This next flower was made by using black ink and stamping a blossom from the Mixed Bunch set (Occasions Mini) - onto Marina Mist CS. I then punched out these flowers using the Blossom punch from the Mini - then wet them til quite damp and scrunched each one together; laid them out to dry leaving them somewhat scrunched together. Once almost dry I poked a hole in the center and held them together with a brad - and adjusted the petals to my liking. Once the flower was dry I spritzed it with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch. See the "glittery look"? I then placed a pearl in the center with a glue dot.
This third flower is just like the second one except it is stamped with Marina Mist ink on the Marina Mist CS; then spritzed and a pearl added to the center.
Here is the card I made using the third flower - a simple thank you card.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well I had some fun in my craft room over the past few days. As I was surfing some card sites I learned how to make some paper flowers. This first one was made using 8 punched out pieces of DSP. I used the "Fancy Flower" punch. Take each piece and scrunch it together - this breaks down the fibers and makes it more pliable. Then "un-scrunch" and layer on top of each other - alternating the design; poke a hole in the center and use a brad to hold all 8 pieces together. Then - starting with the top layer and working layer by layer- scrunch each layer together again. The end result is a "fat flower" such as you see here. You would have difficulty putting a card with this flower on it into an envelope but you could add it to a gift or on top of a box or...... :0
This third flower is just like the second one except it is stamped with Marina Mist ink on the Marina Mist CS; then spritzed and a pearl added to the center.
Here is the card I made using the third flower - a simple thank you card.
I appreciate each and every one of you and thank you for stopping by today ...
I hope you enjoyed your peek and that you'll try your hand at flower making!
May your 2012 be filled with peace and joy and love!
Blessings and HUGS!
