Who doesn't love huge colorful flowers? Well, let's make some! Gather up a bunch of patterned papers...card stock works best, but by all means, add in some  Vintage Music Sheets  or other papers that you love.  This is a great way to use up scraps because the largest piece of paper I am using here is 6x6 so size does not matter.  You can do 8x8 or even 12 x 12!  As long as you have a perfect square you are all set.  This is great to work on when you feel like creating something, but you are not sure what.  Just grab pretty papers and start cutting petal shapes.  You can store them in a baggie or envelope and they will be ready to go when the mood strikes.  You can make a ton of these little guys while binging your fav Netflix.  This pic below represents a very small number of petals that I have cut recently...there are many more behind the scenes.  ;-)  To get the flower shape you will take your square of paper and...

Howdy, Jean here today with a very timely solution to my need for a hostess gift this weekend. We are invited to a Mexican Fiesta dinner with a crowd of friends.   Our hosts always provide fabulous food, conversation and importantly ~ awesome decor!

HAVE FUN AND KEEP ADDING MORE LAYERS AND BAUBLES I choose several SABOR papers , you can use floral templates to cut various sizes.   One handed cutting is not easy....I took off my hard cast and tried cutting but opted for my silhouette which went a bit faster!  Taking it over the top is always the best way to go in my opinion!   Make the 'flowers' as ful...

Hi there, Stephanie here!   Today I have for you the completed phase 2 of my preparing for Valentine's Day project.  It is a cute little tabletop lamp that I created using the  wire assemblage form,  beautiful papers and sweet collage images from Alteredpages.com .  Add a battery operated pillar candle and poof you have a safer & better than average candle for your romantic table or anywhere really.   Phase 1 of this was the Valentine's Day card I made a couple weeks ago, which you can see below and the link to that post can be found  here.        This sweet little lamp will be center stage in my table scape for Valentine's Day dinner.  After that I have a feeling my daughter will be stealing it for her pink and black themed bedroom.  ;-) I started this by wiring all of the corners of the assemblage form.     Next, I set that aside and began creating ...
