Try creating flowers with other items you have around the house. Here, Karen used tissue papers.

- Use white cardstock as a base.

- Tear pieces of blue tissue paper or use TPC Studio: Boho Blooms Blue Script as the base.

- Using a liquid glue, start laying down the pieces of blue tissue, overlapping each other until the page is full.

- Adhere one 4×6” photo.

- Roll a piece of brown tissue paper and adhere in the form of branches.

- Cut out blossoms shapes from pink tissue paper and adhere on the branches.

- Add journaling and brads.

By Nora Thorburn.

- In this layout, Nora made flowers from paper towel, ribbon, and some scrap fabric from her stash. The ribbon and fabric flowers were made by gathering the lower edges of the folded fabric with a thread and needle and then rolling the gathered fabric into a flower shape. The stamens were sewn in at the same time.

You may recall seeing Janine’s tulle flower project last week. Here is the layout which she used the flower on.

- My picture came with a lovely off white border. If you do not have this, you might want to add an off white border to your photograph that matches the light color of the Nadia patterned paper. Double mat with Nadia Dark side and Pomegranate.

- Start with Pomegranite as your base.

- Center Nadia light side up on the base cut 11.5×11.5”.

- Center matted photograph on top of Nadia.

- Cover a doily and 8″ of May Arts: Leaves Ribbon with Meadow Green Glimmer Mist.

- After items dry, cut the doily into two pieces about ¾ from an edge.

- Adhere larger part of doily from top near the left corner and smaller piece from bottom on the right side facing inward.

- Adhere May Arts: Leaves Ribbon along right side of the photograph vertically within the off-white border. Add rhinestones on the inside top of each leaf.

- Add an appropriate title where it looks nice and tulle flower with flourishes and rhinestones in bottom left corner of the photograph.

By Jeanette Smith.

- Use Pomegranate Bazzill for background.

- Add Esmeralda paper from KaiserCraft.

- Add a strip of Aqua Bloomers ribbon as a border.

- Make journal tag and the curled flower with Nadia paper.

- Create tulle flower and accent with blue Shimmerz paint around the edge (from March 2010 kit). – To make flower: use Pomegranate cardstock. Punch 3 different sizes of hearts, curl them up and under, then attach with a brad in the center. Then, spritz it with Mustard Seed Glimmer Mist to add shimmer.

- Use Thickers (add-on) for title.
