Mini Album sneak Peek

Good Morning

Happy Monday and Earth Day to all!!  I hope you all had a great weekend, I know  I did. I got to make some paper flowers, a couple of cards and make a mini album  for a workshop next weekend.  I can not believe I was able to do all this in one weekend!!!  I am just going to show you the front page of it, more pictures to come later, I do not want the other girls to see the album finished, I think it will be more fun to create and be surprised how it turns out.  I used the Chantilly paper pack and paper embellies from Close To My heart.  I love that set!!!!  Such pretty papers, great for Spring and Summer projects.  

Stop over to my website and check out other great products and start your own fun mini,

Have a great Day and Happy Crafting    Cathy

flowers for you:)

 Three Dimensional flower tutorial

here is the recipe for the beautiful flowers, I cut them from the Art Philosophy Cartridge available through Close To My Heart, which you can get by going to my website..here

the daisy I used is on page 28 and the center is on page 69, the picky flower.  I cut the daisy as follows... 3 @ 2 3/4 inches,  3 @ 2  1/2 inches and 3 @ 2. inches.  for the center I cut the picky flower @ 2 1/2 inches, rolled it and used liquid glass to hold it closed.  I used a paper piercer to bend each of the petals, you can also use a tooth pick, and then I glued each layer of flowers together largest to smallest, staggering them to fill in the gaps..  have fun making them, WARNING...they are addicting.lol

Just sharing some more flowers I put together today, hope you had a great Sunday!

first flower swap

I am just popping in to share with you the flowers I made for the first ever flower swap I have been in.  It is with a bunch of sweet ladies on Facebook in the group "Creative Swappers"   I made the daisies which I spoke of the other day and then I made white/yellow roses with the retro flower punch and then I made a layered flower from the Artiste cartridge.  I will be sending them off next week, hope the girls like them

Hope you are having a great weekend....Cathy

Happy Easter!!

 Happy Easter!!

Happy EASTER to all my blogger friends!!  I have missed you, did you miss me?? I gave up blogging for Lent and I must say it was a sacrifice, cause i did miss it.  I hope you are all having a wonderful day today.  I am having my children over for ham dinners...a baked ham dinner for one family at lunch and a boiled dinner for the rest for supper.

I have not been crafting as much lately, because one of my sons, his wife and 2 children have been moving back in with us, so it has been hectic.  Times are tough for alot of the children today, sad to say.  My son is an EMT per diem working towards being a paramedic and his wife is a Medical assistant, working per diem. So they are trying.

well I am sure you are all busy today, I hope to have a post up this week when things calm down..

Happy Crafting!!!   Cathy
