Paper Flowers

How cute is this little guy?? Thanks to the little birdies for posting it.
Loving all the paper flowers/scrapping with rosettes lately. SO adorable.

Have a great weekend!

Party Hats with Some Bling

For the same party I made these fun party hats inspired by the girls at pink paislee. Again, each one was individual and unique with their first initial as the center focus. There was some serious bling going on. {Lots of rhinestones and jewels}. They were a huge hit with one girl even wearing hers to school the next week. I love making girly things!

Ruffles with Grosgrain Ribbon

I came across this idea from Blue Cricket Design {one of my favorite blogs} and decided to see how easy it really was.
This project took no time at all, and I love the result. If you're more of an audio learner here's the link to the Studio 5 episode where she talks you through it.



Then last night I was working on the title page for my new scrapbook project {more about that later} and I used this same technique on my page.

Paper Flower Craft

I learned how to make torn paper flowers at littlebirdiesecrets.com. I used them on some of my Valentine's cards, scrapbooking pages, even framed home decor - super cute. I've pretty much been putting them everywhere since I learned how. My family is now surrounded by them. They are the easiest embellishment to make!

How to:

Basically, you cut out 3-4 different sizes of paper circles.

Crumple them up into little balls (antique-ink the edges if you want)

Flatten them out again and stick a brad/eyelet through the center.

Done! I added little rhinestones onto the leaves of the stem on this one.

So simple scrapbook page

Don't you love this scrapbook page? It is simple and elegant. The picture is adorable, but I love the typewriter font and how she stitched on a couple of random fabric pieces. Fantastic.
