Today I want to share with you a great idea for a Mothers Day Gift. I converted a regular matted picture frame into a lovely shadow box for my Mom. I used Petaloo Color Me Crazy Flowers, Heidi Swapp Color Shine Sprays and her Vintage Chic Paper Collection. Here is a video with a few tips and tricks on spraying your flowers:

  

Supplies:

Easy Peeesy Fall Gift!!

The holidays will quickly be upon us.....
and I like to always bring a gift to any
occasion I am invited to!!
So, the other day I decided to take a walk
around my local discount store
to see if I could pick up some items for 
EASY PEEEEEESY gifts!! 

I came across this Easy Peeesy glittery pumpkin.

I adhered various colored Beaded Peonies.
Added a few Velvet Butterflies.
Some loopy bows....
and there you have it!
An EASY PEEESY decoration!



And what would a gift be.....
without a card??!?!?!

I used the amazing
Enchanted Collection by Authentique.
Tore up the edges of the paper
with the Distrezz it All!
A diecut/embossed pumpkin..... 
and some SUPER CUTE
Assorted Holiday Blooms!!
and Velvet Forget~Me~Nots.

.....another loopy bow....
and you have an EASY PEEESY card!
Now my gift is complete!!!!






 

 

 

 

 

Flora Doodles Shadow Box

Looking for something to do this summer?  Here's an idea you could use. 

I took an old shoe box top and cut out a widow.  Then I painted it with a neutral color depending on your flower choices.  Next I used an arcylic sheet to finish my window to give the appearance of glass.  

I covered the top with Petaloo flowers from the Flora Doodles line and some ribbon and other embellishesments I had to finish my look. 

I also had these cute little bird houses I painted and decorated using butterflies from Flora Doodles collcetion. These adorable butterflies come all sorts of colors and come glittered or plain. 

Supplies I used

Velvet Wild Roses Small - Deep Blue (ink)

  20pc Sm.FabricDaisyLayers - Orangeade

Velvet Butterflies Med- Deep Blue (ink)

Fabric n Glitter 50 pc pack - Hula Monkey

Thanks for visiting and I wish you a happy day!
