I came across the latest Prima "Metalique" Flowers coming to Cha this year & thought I would give them a go. Don't throw away your glitter gift bags you get for christmas & birthdays' recycle them into pretty flowers for your scrapbook pages & cards .
Here's How:-
Step 1.
Cut open your gift bag
Step 2.
Draw 3 or 4 different size flowers on the opposite side
Step 3.
Cut them out
Step 4.
Scrunch them up under running water(water distressing) & dry with a heat embossed tool or under the sun
Step 5.
Assemble your flowers with double sided tape & add a brad or pearls for the centre
Here's a card I made for an engagement/wedding using one of the silver flowers

Handmade Cards
I have such a big family, so birthdays etc, seem to come up at least once a month, so I've decided to make a few cards to have on hand. Most of the cards are made from scraps from my stash,I thought I would share them with you.
These ones have my handmade Joyful Blooms on them.
Another couple of cute little boy ones
And there's more
Last 2 for now.
I've just realized I haven't any male cards left, & I have two male birthdays coming up this month, looks like it's back to the drawing board. LOL
Would love some comments on these cards. TFL.

The bottom card has a handmade Joyful Bloom on it
The top one here I did from a sketch for a challenge over at Scrapbookingtop 50, , I don't normally use yellow, but was pleasantly surprised how it turned out, so I thought I'd try another on in that colour, LOL
These one's I call "To The Moon And Back", because they looked so cute, great for my little great nephews. Which come to think of it one will turn 4 on Australia Day, & the other one will turn 1 on the 23rd of this month.Another couple of cute little boy ones

Pinatas
At preschool the children & I make a couple of Pinatas to have at the end of our christmas year when we have a party, here is what they voted for in 2011,
This one had me thinking for awhile, of how to put together a car from a round balloon that we had already paper mache, this is what they wanted:-
Lightening McQueen
The next one was quite easy it was a basic Santa, the children loved them & had great fun hitting them, & dived on the lollies, glitter & confetti when the finally broke open
