Howdie fellow crafties...
Well, I got my 'MOJO' on early this week...
Yesterday I was making my son a cumber bun & bow tie for his ballroom dancing (as you do...) and had some left over satin fabric just yelling out for some floral action. I have seen this done on a few different sites and last night decided to try making a few fabric flowers by cutting some circles and melting the edges with a tealight... I then had it in my head that I wanted to incorporate them with this weeks MOJO Monday challenge... was a bit enthused when I came home to see this weeks sketch... my little flowers were able to make an appearance.. yaaayyyyy!!!
The 'Floral District' paper is a bit of a 'sneeky peeky' of one of the many new awesome products that will appear in the new Stampin' Up! catalogue out on September 1st.. not many sleeps now!!! Cannot wait! Stay Tuned...
Here is this weeks MOJO 256 Sketch... mmm... what to choose... round or square???
Square won out this week...
Well, I can hear my bed calling... gotta kick my son out first as he is curled up in there watching Avatar for the 50th time!
Till next time,
Luv Deb x

DeleteI really do love the color scheme you chose! Those flowers are so pretty, but I am too hesitant to use the open flame, lol. Glad you joined in the Mojo madness so I could find your blog! :)

DeleteOh!! is very nice, I love the colors you've used, It's so cute.

DeleteHi again Deb,
ReplyDeleteI have a post in the works about how I used some quilting material on a scrapbook page. Would you mind if I linked your silk flowers post as another example of using material in papercraft?
Abs
Sure thing Mzzz Abs.. would feel honoured to be linked to your wonderful blog... x
DeleteDeb, thanks so much. Have just posted so you may get a few extra visitors to your blog. They'd be mad not to check out your stuff!
DeleteAbs x
I'm loving that your son's tie & cumberband are such an awesome colour, and that you have the same last name as me and you are SU Mad too! The flowers turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki... fellow 'Fraser'/craft addict... x
DeleteWow! Your flowers turned out fantastic--so scrunchy around the edges! Mine never turn out that good. Love, love your card!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy... Loved making the little flowers... once I recovered from the 1st one catching on fire!!! (one frantic blow fixed that..) The secret was not keeping it too close to the flame for too long... mainly let the heat melt it a bit... I think it might depend on the fabric used.. this one worked great!!!
