So we are halfway through our anniversary week! Oh what fun I'm having! Today's tutorial is going to be on how to make not one but two different kinds of flowers. One of them is from a previous post that got lots of comments, the hot pink shoes. I created all of those rolled roses so I got lots of practice. I show how I made those along with some great tips. The other flower is made from cheap dollar store flowers that can be transformed into georgous works of art. I really hope you enjoy the tutorial. There are some great tips in this one.


I've had a great time reading all of the comments. Wow, what a great response. It is really touching to hear what some of you have shared. Truely you have made my this a worthwhile journey. Thank you!!! Today I am going to announce the winners from Monday and Tuesday. I'm not going to make you all wait till the end of the week to announce winners. I wouldn't do that to you. I wouldn't want to wait that long either, LOL! Todays prize is a biggie!!! A Scrap N Tote in your choice of color!!! All you have to do is leave a comment for todays post and be sure to leave your email address so I have a way to get back to you. Good Luck! If you want to see the video on the Scrap N Tote click HERE




Monday's WINNER of the Ranger Pastel Perfect Pearl Set, 3 Ranger Mini Misters and 1 Darice Metal Bead Scoop is DJScrappiness

    I just thought of an idea for these wonderful flowers. I need to make napkin rings and I think I will give this a try on some rings I made with clay baked in the oven and then glazed. Thanks so much for the inspiration!! - Eva Vaughan

    WOW!! Your flowers are amazing and beautiful. I'm going to go buy myself a new glue gun in the morning and of course some flowers and ribbon to make some of these. Thank you again for all your hard work and for sharing all your fantastic ideas. I might try and make some into corsages for my daughter and her friends for graduation.
