Masculine Birthday Card

Just wanted to share a birthday card that I made for one of the special men in my life.



I had inspiration from the CTMH Spring/Summer catalog.  I used my CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut the card, frame and the lace used to make the trees look like they have swirls.

Hard to say "Goodbye"

It is always hard to say goodbye to those we love when they have lived a very full life.  It is even harder to say goodbye to such a young lady who sadly took her own life.  My daughter knew her and we will be attending her funeral.  I thought taking her to the first funeral was hard, but this one is hitting a little closer to home.  I'm going to give my daughter an extra hug, just because!

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere Blog Hop -- Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Flowers, Flowers Everywhere Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoyed all the projects from yesterday and I'm sure you will enjoy the projects that the ladies have come up with for today.

Our Hostess for this hop is Lissa Marie and her site is the place to start if you've happened upon this hop by accident and want to see more pretty flowers. Otherwise if you arrived here from Jearise's blog continue on and enjoy all the color and beauty of flowers everywhere.

I decided that I wanted to incorporate flowers into another home decor project.  This time I made some pomanders.  I found some different sized glasses at the local thrift store.  Then using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge I cut out 1 inch flowers and pinned them to styrofoam balls with pearl tipped pins.  This is what I came up with:

Here is a close up showing the flowers that I cut and I did double them for a more full look.




Thank you for stopping by today.  Now continue on to Cicily's blog to see what she came up with.

In case you get lost along the way, here is the entire Blog Hop line up:

I decided that I wanted to incorporate flowers into a home decor project.  I took some twigs, put them in a small vase with some decorative rocks.  Then I made some rolled flowers using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and glued them to the twigs.  This is what I came up with:
