yesterday was a craft day bust!

I started cutting out all my fun flower shapes and made some fringe flowers at my lunch break and when I got home I tried them out on the foam wreath I bought and HATED it!  It just doesn't look the way I thought it would so I am starting over.  My dear friend Selena suggested topiary and I found Bits of me....the craft mom.  I think her beautiful spring paper flower topiary has saved me :)  Here's some pictures.....

and here is a link if you just have to make one.

Spring is here!!!! and its time for a new craft project.

So I am starting a new craft project today.  Paper Flower wreaths!  I am using very bright colors of scrapbook paper, a foam wreath form, some buttons and pearlized pins for the centers. I will post pictures of the process when I start.  My poor little Crucit is going to be working overtime cutting out all the flower shapes I need!

Here is some of my inspirations:

a few more subway art posters......

Here are a few more of the subway art posters I have been working on.  I think the birth posters would be great printed on cards to be sent out as birth announcements.  Or the last one could be a great save the date post card :)
