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.

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.
