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!

Christie Love these thanks for sharing and thanks for the tutorial :) I need to make up some for some cards and pages and projects I have and these are perfect.. thanks again
Is there anything you can't do? I have tons of flowers but not sure what to do with them all. This is so inspiring. I can't wait to finish my craft room and learn more. ;-)) Happy blogversary!!- Eva Vaughan
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
Thanks so much for all the great ideas this week. I had to order the Bow-Easy and now I'll need to try the flowers. They all seem like such additions to projects.

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.
Have a wonderful day

Love the flowers. Thanks so much for sharing. My mind is going wild thinking what can be used for this technique. I'm thinking you could make some flowers with the big shot and dies for the fluffly flower technique. Also thinking punched flowers from vellum might work. Boy I need to go play.
Beautiful flowers! Since I didn't win the easel, I'm going to order one. Maybe today will be my lucky day!
