From Rags to Roses…….

Good morning everyone!  As you are reading this I am at work.  Yep…..seems like I just can’t stay home if I want to buy all that fun crafty stuff!!!!!! LOL!

On one of my days off I made drapes for the dinning room.  While cleaning up the scraps I had a thought…….could I make rolled roses with the scraps?????   So I tried and I did!!

Here is my card-

DSCF1070-kimr

For my flowers, I ripped the white cotton in about one inch strips.  I punched a 1 1/2 inch circle.  I used tacky glue on the circle and started from the center twisting the cotton strip as I went.  When I got to the end I simply tucked under the roll.  I finished it off with a pearl in the center! I wrapped  a piece of my cotton around the card and then mounted the flowers on top with glue dots.
Well thanks for stopping by!

Sassycheryls Recycle Challenge

Hi everyone!  Well we have had  wonderful mild temperatures here in  Saskatchewan Canada!  I am so looking forward to spring!!!!

Spring for me means washing walls and giving our home a good going over as far as things we either don’t need or don’t want anymore.  That means packing those things up and donating to different charities.

Our challenge today is along the same theme….recycle.  I got looking around and found some zippers left over from my sewing days and that’s what I used on my card.  I made the card clean and simple to show off the zipper……what do you think?

DSCF1054-kimr
  • Sassycheryl digital image- Speak no Evil
  • SU paper, bashful blue, white and K&Company Dp.
  • SU mini clip, zipper, round punches, Copic markers, and dimensionals.
Now stop by our Sassycheryls Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team have recycled for their creations.
Have a great week!
