Something to ponder....

You don't have to brush all of your teeth.....

just the ones you want to keep!

So true....keep on brushing. I worked today so thought this may be appropriate.

Funky flower tutorial

WHO PUT THIS PHOTO ON THE BLOG???

Well now that I have your attention. I want to show you how I made the layered flowers using the funky flower punch. Scroll down past the chocolate.

These were the punches that I used, if you have different punches experiment with them to get different style flowers.

Punch out your flowers, I have used a double sided paper to get more contrast and add interest.

Wet your punched out flower.

Once the flower is wet scrunch the petals and set aside to dry.

Once the flowers are completely dry then glue them together, I use glossy accents as my glue but you can use your favourite. I find glossy accents has a very strong bond.

Layer the flowers, slightly rotating so that the petals are offset.


Keep layering the petals until.....

....your flower is complete.

This is a flower that I prepared earlier!!!!LOL

You can see the dimension that you can achieve.

I hope that you enjoy making some flowers of your own.


Happy Crafting

Here are some of the rainy day creations. This is a b'day card for R's schoolfriend.
Starting early for the Christmas rush.

This was the rather dramatic cloud that went over late in the afternoon. All show .......

Another button creation......

An inquisitive guest to this blog wants a sneek peak!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm should I???

Ooooookaaaaaay you twist my arm...

Black and white plus one.

What have you all been up to this wet, crafty Saturday???? Perfect weather to be inside and busy with our hands. I have been busy crafting something for the Roma Patchwork and Crafters Black and White plus one challenge. I think black and white plus one (that is plus one more colour) is a great challenge because black and white are such classic colours. Just about every colour goes with black and white. What I have made so far looks great without having to try too hard. I can't wait to show it to you soon.
Back to my craft....
Happy Crafting!! Why not try some black and white plus one cards or a scrapbook page too.

Doona cover

This is not scrapped or made with paper but it is something that I have been crafting away making on a Tuesday night at the UFO or PHD group.
This is my doona cover finished and on the bed. Done Done and Done. It has taken me some time to finish it off. Very glad that I have finished it. It is made with scraps of material. Some material is quite special, like the ones from clothing my girls wore when they were little and some has been generously given to me by other members of the Tuesday night group. I love my quilt.
(There you go there is my little bit of show and tell for you Debra....)

Glad it is nearly over....

......WINTER has nearly finished and I am sooooo glad. Short days, cold mornings, cold days and cold nights!!!! Bring on SPRING......
Goodbye to these frosts....not much fun on the motorbike.

Bring on more of these ......
