I just used the one cut and resized it to make this flower. Used Scotts quick dry glue to glue the flowers and used zots glue dots to adhere the bling to the flower

Here is a cute little onesie album that I created. Cut them out on cardboard and cardstock. Then cut some die cuts from various cuts. Used some of my handmade flowers to enhance it. Used some lace, ribbons and tulle to the binder rings. It is a very interactive book. Pull out tags and books that open. lots of face for photos. Great for a gift or a keepsake. This is a one of a kind book. I will be making a boy version. All my books are never the same. Always different for that One of A kind WOW factor.

Flowers

Here are some handmade flowers.

The first photo with all the flowers are silhouette rolled rosettes and quilled rosettes that I got off the site. They are sized down to small so I can easily use them on projects. used hot glue for these flowers because its easier to roll together and use hot glue for quick hold.

These ones are using my retro flower punch from EK success. I shaped them and hot glued them.

Crocheted Flowers

Here are some crocheted flowers that I have been working on. I had 4 made and stopped for a while. I started back up again last night and made these cute tiny creations. I use them on my scrapbook albums, sell them, and gift them. They are fun to dazzle up with some bling or just leave plain.

More paper flowers

Here are some paper flowers that I punched out. Used a Retro flower punch by EK success and a Stampin' Up flower punch. I added layers upon layers till I got the desired look that I wanted. The Fuschia Flowers have 6 layers. Light Blue ones have 8 layers 9 if you include the the green on the bottom of them. Used my hot glue gun to glue them together and just added a bling to decorate them. I then squashed the flowers upward to give them the desired effect of being 3D. They look cute flat too but look more full popped up like they are.

Paper FLOWERS!!!

I've been making flowers since my stash is running out. Made the fall ones for a challenge. Made tons of other ones for fun. I need a variety of flowers so I've been making tons. I am also in a group even for a flower swap. I hope the swappers like what i've made.

Anything with Fall Colors Challenge

Anything with Fall Colors Challenge over at http://www.svgcuttingfiles.blogspot.com/2014/08/anything-with-fall-colors-challenge.html

This is what I created for the challenge. I took the Sock monkey file from http://svgcuttingfiles.com/catalog.php?item=671

and created a gift baggie using a Recollections paper bag from Michaels Arts and Craft Store. I took some Recollections seasonal card stock and fussy cut out the leaves on the top and the bottom. I slid the sock monkey into the background of the leaves like hes hiding. Stamped a hello stamp and glued it down. Added some E-Line Prima bling. Punched 2 holes with a hole puncher and threaded it with some ribbon. Used my ATG gun to glue the papers down and on the finer tips of the paper used Scotts quick Dry glue. I did use Tim Holtz distress inks Vintage photo and Tea Dye on the edges of the monkey, bag and edges of the background papers. Stamped my name and dated the bottom of the paper bad.
