Shape More Than Just Flowers

This card is entitled  "Shine your Light" and it's another beautiful card I created for Cheery Lynn and CHA.  You know I'm always trying to think of things outside the box a bit and that is exactly what I strived for with the mini doilies on this one.  They really have great dimension cupping them much like a flower.  Adds a really nice pop.  

I was able to create the Dogwoods with the new Build a Flower 3.  Honestly if you don't have all the build a flowers as of yet...you really have to get them.  They are amazing and the flowers you can create are almost limitless.

Sometimes Simple is Good

Sometimes there are collections that really don't need a lot, a simple layout can really be a stunner.  This is from the Secret Admirer Collection from Kaisercraft.  The paper is beautiful as you can see so I just added a few rub ons, collectables and flowers and it was done. 

I love this picture of my little Cole and me, he's such a giggle monster and this pictured captured just that.  Love it! 

Re-purposed Wine Bottle

I had to get a bit tickled at my repurposed wine bottle/ vase...granted I really do like the way it turned out as I love the Tropicana Collection from KasierCraft, but note....from across the room the color of twine I used is the exact color of the original wine bottle.  So if you didn't know it, it just looks like a wine bottle...duh.  I love the way the twine looks wrapped around the bottle but next time I think I'll use a very different color twine, LOL.
