FLOWERS FOR MUM

All the stems and flowers - 48 pots

The final result - A flower pot


This is the project I made this morning with the mothers and toddlers of my local church. It was a simple one and the children had to stick the 2 different sizes of flowers to the stems. I made 48 pots with 2 stems on each one. I used lollipop sticks to make them and punched leaves. Finally I punched 96 of the big flowers and 96 of the small ones.

Este es el projecto que hize esya mañana en el grupo de madres y niños de mis iglesia. Fue uno simple y los niños tuvieron que pegar las flores de tamaños diferentes a los tallos.

MY SCRAPBOOKING DISPLAY

My name on wire

This is a canvas I used to display the layouts I made for Hobby-dashery the shop I'm working for. This time I decided to try a little bit of doodling to make swirls and create some branches. I also added faux stitching, flowers and big beads to emphasize the branch . I used wooden letters for the tittle which I coloured with silver and gold glitter glue. Finally I made my name on wire to go along with the canvas.

Este es un canvas que use para exhibir mis layouts que hice para Hobby-dashery la tienda donde trabajo. Esta vez decidi probrar un poquito de "doodling" y hacer unas ondas para crear ramas. Tambien le puse costura falsa, flores y perlas/piedras grandes para enfatizar la rama. Use letras de madera para el titulo las cuales coloreé con purpurina/escarcha engomada plateada y dorada. Finalmente hice mi nombre en alambre para que vaya junto con el canvas.

MY VALENTINE

Here's the Valentine's Card I made for my husband Kevin. I used the typical colours red and pink but decided to make the greeting using silver wire (20gauge) and round nose pliers and flat ones. Instead of using "I love you" I used "Te amo" which is the Spanish equivalent and used a heart to replace the word "amo". To make the heart I embossed it first using the Cuttlebug Spiral Embossing folder and then die-cut it. I used brads to keep the wire words in place, patterned papers and vellum.

Aqui podran apreciar una tarjeta por el dia de San Valentín que hice para mi esposo Kevin. Use los colores tipicos rojo y rosado pero decidí hacer el titulo con alambre plateado (20 gauge-0.8mm)tenazas de puntas redondas y planas. En vez de usar "I love you" use "Te amo" que la frase equivalente en Español y use un corazon para reemplazar la palabra "amo". Para hacer el corazon primero hice el "embossing" con el folder de espiral de Cuttlebug y luego lo corte usando mi Big shot. Usé brads para sujetar las palabras de alambre, papeles con motivos y vellum.

COTTON HEARTS

Today is our 2nd anniversary and this is the card I made using cotton on it as the 2nd year is all about cotton. I used cotton pads and passed them through my Big shot to cut the hearts and added some red glitter glue. Also I used some papers that came free with Crafts Beautiful a while ago and torn the edges of one of them. Finally I used my own handwriting to write the greeting on vellum.

Hoy es nuestro 2do aniversario y esta es la tarjeta he hice usando algodón ya que en el 2do año la celebración es de algodón.

MY CARD DISPLAY

I finished this card display today and put some of the sample cards I've made for my local craft shop Hobby-Dashery in which I'm giving cardmaking and scrapbooking classes. I was given the canvas 2 days ago and decided to keep white background as I was going to place cards in different colors. I put some foam flowers to one side, sewn beads and faux stitching. I also quilled some big butterflies and made their bodies from big beads. Finally I put some more small foam flowers.

Terminé este display para tarjetas hoy y pusé unas muestras de las tarjetas que he hecho para mi tienda local de manualidades Hobby-Dashery en la que estoy dando clases de cardmaking y scrapbooking.

Tambien hice de filigrana unas mariposas grandes e hice sus cuerpos de perlitas/cuentas grandes. Finalmente puse unas flores de fomis pequeñas.

SPRING FLOWERS

in yellow, cream and orange. Finally I added a peel-off butterfly stuck on acetate and colored with glitter glue.

TOGETHER

Here's another wire addition to my layouts. I used 0.5 mm copper wire to make the zigzag borders and the words. I also used the flat nose pliers and round nose ones. This time I put some seed beads on the words in gold and orange tones. I attached the pictures with photo corners and made the 2 quilled butterflies with the fine quilling papers and wire body with big beads.
