Stop & Smell the Flowers!

The Cupcake Craft Challenge 85...Make Your Own Flowers
Here's a challenge that is right up my alley!  Those who know my work, know how much I love to make paper flowers.  So how could I possibly resist a such a challenge? LOL!

TA-DA!  Here is my creation......




Yes indeed, I made every single flower on this lovely card - all 25 of them... and the leaves too!  Okay, okay, I must confess that I did not make all of these flowers at once... Because I often use my own handmade flowers on most of my projects, I  cut and assemble these flowers when I'm bored, need something to do, or most of the time - while I am watching TV.  I have been wanting to create a card to showcase these handmade flowers, and at last!  Here it is!  So, thanks to Victoria at the Cupcake Craft Challenge for coming up with this theme!

I've also entered this card in 
Pollycraft Monday Challenge #38 - "Anything Goes"
For Fun Challenge - "April Showers Bring May Flowers"
Colour Create Challenge #41 - "Pastels/Easter/Spring"
S2G Challenge #50 -"Anything Goes"
Mel-Jen's Design Challenge - "Anything Goes"
Quixotic Challenge #20 - "Anything Goes"

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Please leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by!

Have a great day & happy crafting!

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o...
