I have to admit I am not sure I like my results. I saw on several blogs these paper flowers and thought I would give it a try. You begin with a 12″ long piece of paper. You punch one of the long edges then cut the strip to 1″ wide. Run the strip through your crimper 3 times to soften the paper. Cut a circle (I cut two 1 3/8″ circles and one 1…
Happy President’s Day everyone! I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day yesterday. Sorry my post is late today but after I took my pictures yesterday my batteries died so I had to recharge them.

I have another card for you today. It feels so good to be creating again. I really missed it while I was sick. Today’s creation uses the color challenge from the Cards & Things blog. You were to use Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, and Certainly Celery. I have to admit this color combination was one I had to think about the stamps I would use. I combined it with the sketch challenge from the Diva…
