Here Is What I Have Been Doing.......

What I do when I'm having a problem with MoJo, or if I don't have time to get into anything too time consuming is to make flowers.  I just love doing these...There are several videos on You Tube for making paper flowers.  There are all kinds of different flowers and I love to watch these ladies create these beautiful flowers and then I try to do it too.  A flower can be a thing of beauty and each and everyone is different and that is why I love doing them.  Each one is different and I never get bored with doing them.  I use the Tim Holtz Alterations Die....Tattered Florals to cut out my petals and from there it is a free for all on my desk!

I color these with Ranger Distress Inks and then spray with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and then I scrunch them up into a little ball and twist the petals this way and that to curl the edges.  I also use tweezers to twist the petals in different directions and to curl the edges. The sky is the limit.....the only thing that you must be careful with is to wait until the petals are close to being dry so they will hold the curls and while they are still pretty wet, they will tear.  These are so pretty on boxes, cards, scrapbooking layouts, gift bags.....there are so many places I love to see a little beauty. 

So this is what I have been doing with my free time these last couple of days.  I will be doing more for sure, since I don't have too many free minutes with the Holidays breathing down my neck.  I'm ready except for a little more cleaning tomorrow and a little cooking tomorrow evening.  That's it for me....remember to spend a little time each day just for you...you deserve it!
