the next 2 pages have mats on the and felt butterflies and Recollections butterflies.

the next pages have pockets and mats as well as a slider card that you pull out and put a picture on.

On the last set of pages, the right side has an accordian fold out set of mats and the right side is just a pocket for memorabilia.

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
