Hydrangea Anyone?

I love all the little crochet goodies in this months kit.  They can make something so adorable in no time at all!  I took a little heart tin I had on hand,  but you could certainly use even a mint tin to make a this little flower box.  I covered it with designer paper and painted a glossy glue on for a finished look.  Granted you can't see a lot of the base in the pictures, but in person you can...so make it pretty :).  I took some of the ribbon that comes in the kit and glued around the edge to give a great finished look.  I then got a styrofoam ball cut it in half and painted it dark green.  This is where I glued the flowers and the leaves on to create a three dimensional hydrangea flower. 

I can see doing something like this for little favors at a table setting or just a thinking of you trinket.  It's springy, fun and easy peasy. 

Here's the best part of this project...you can get the embellishments you need all in the May's Kit.  Great price, wonderful selection and plenty to make with lots and lots of goodies. Just a few days left to get yours so hurry.

Hellooooo all my awesome and fabulous blog readers and friends! It's that time of month (hahah) again for my Creative Charms feature! I'm featuring the May Kit of the Month this month: A Knitted Garden (click here), and wowweeeeee it's totally jam packed with goodies!

I wanted to make a quick and useful project today that I could share with you. I absolutely LOVE notepads and sketchpads. I'm forever doodling, jotting notes, writing down reminders, etc. Well when I was at Costco the other day, I found this HUGE pack of the small yellow lined notepads. I wanted to make a quick covered notepad. I love the little things, and believe me when I say this will make my day each time I jot into this sweet little owly-hoo notepad!
Don't forget, I'll have a give-away for you--so make sure to hop over to my blog for that by clicking on the little owl at the bottom of this post!

A Victorian Appeal!

 I loved all the crocheted items in the May Kit of the Month, A Knitted Garden!  On this birthday card I used the flowers from the Orange Countryside Garden.  I also added the Amber Gradient Gem Stickers from Deal of the Month.  I stamped Happy Birthday on the White Daisy cardstock from CTMH and backed it with embossed Bazzil Peridot Gemstone Cardstock and Creme Brulee cardstock from CTMH.  Used the MS ZigZag embossing border punch to finish the edge.  Lace is from my stash and leave are the MS Pine Branch Punch.  I love the soft look of this punch and use it quite a lot. DP is from DCWV.

Here is a close up of these adorable flowers.  They would also look great with a Pearl Brad in the center.  So many things you can do with these flowers.  Once you try them you will want all the colors available.  Enjoy!

Here is everything you get in the Kit of the Month!  Fantastic Deal!!
