"My flower creations"

Hi everyone, Rain, Rain, and more rain over here....the gardens are happy; looking so green and fresh...

When I was 42, I left my corporate job and took a full time nine month course to become a florist. I did work as a florist for a while; I was excellent at some aspects of it, but I was too slow in designing; in the end I quit due to my carpal tunnel .But, oh my, did I love that year at school; one of my very best years.  I wanted to share a few of the arrangements I designed  while at school. If ever my dream of making a book out of my blog comes true, I would love to have a few of these in there. Hope you enjoy....Bye for now...xoxoxooxo

"Ruffled Up Romance"

Hi Peeps, Are you all doing great ? First off, I would like to give a big shout out to my blogger friend
Jen, from Only love is real for being among the top 3 on CR84FN with her beautiful creation; we all do what we do because we love to create and express ourselves, but it is always nice to receive validation that our work is appreciated by others.

I am entering my card into The Shabby Tea Room challenge, because THIS was the gorgeous inspirational photo...

I will also add this to Pink Saturday..

I mean, come on, how can I resist? Understated elegance, soft, feminine and romantic is how I would describe this cake (and of course, Yummy !), and this is my interpretation of those adjectives:

I cut my bodice out of my all time favorite paper Pink Paislee Butterfly garden, laced her up, egdged her with Inka-Gold, make a flower, misted it with glimmer mist, and added two gold buttons with a chain.

I made the fan out of this beautiful paper my brother gave me, added lace to the edge, made a few rosettes out of the same paper, added a Pink Paislee ephemera, Graphic 45 for the butterfly and Romantique, gold leaves, lace, rossettes and nested it on some ruffled up lace.

The inside

You know how designers often decorate the back of their garments now, well, I did the same to my little creation; more ruffles, inka-gold colored rosette, material as the background, and a bit of glimmer mist using a screen...

Et Voila!! Hope you enjoyed, see you next week !!!

"First tulips of the year" !!!!

one of my all time favorite flowers...

Offering them up to all you lovely moms and grandmothers!!!

"InkaGold" Card

Happy ScrapBooking day Everyone!!! What did you make ???Come on, I'm sure you had to make something...
I had so much fun making this card; it is for my best friend's brother who is turning 60...
I had fun making all my flowers...I love using my old jewelry in my projects; this is an earring I often wore  in high school; I did not let the fact that I had only one deter me from wearing it; I was a bit of a hippy !!! The flowers are sprayed with glimmer mist, and the birthday letters have inka-gold on them...what a fun product, I had never used it before...Bye ...

.HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE GREAT MOMS OUT THERE

"Jungle Fever" Card

Man, I can't get over how beautiful the paper is out there. My hubby went to Micheal's to buy me some basics, and he came back with some specialty card stock paper " Me and my Big ideas" Watercolor....
I had never heard of this company.I should be resting my shoulder today, but I just had to make a card with this paper; I am in love with it. Check it out ( i have trouble taking nice pics of glittery cards...)

"Stepping Stones" Card

Hi guys, hope you are all well. Did you watch the wedding ? I watched snippets of it, and was actually quite moved by it; I thought her dress was wonderful, and William's shy smile was endearing.
I had this weird idea last night to use pieces of glass and flower soft as grouting...I don't know why I make my life so complicated, as if it wasn't complicated enough LOL...
It was fun to make; it looks a bit better in person than on the pic, but I dont know if I like it; I am happy with the rest of the card. I wished the crepe paper was a bit longer; I think I will try to add a bit to it. Bye for now ....Hugs
