Flowers for a Friend...

Have you ever made something and
 love it so much that you don't want to give it away?

I will be good this time and give them to my friend for her birthday. ;)

She had requested for me to make these for her big, gray felt purse.

The red felt is embossed, it adds a nice texture.

Here is a link to the tutorial for the felt flowers...click here.

The fun green and white polka dot paper is from the Canvas Corp's new Bright paperline.

Flowers...{with tutorial}

I have been gathering the outfits

that we are going to wear for family pictures. 

I knew that I wanted to make a flower brooch for Kate and I to wear. 

This is what I came up with...my new favorite flower!!

 I used the same technique for Kate's flower,

I just didn't cut slits into the fabric.

Kate and I are pretty matchy-matchy for the pictures,

 the boys are wearing sweaters with a collared shirt under. 

{a mix of blue, green, white, brown; stripes & plaids!!!} 

It looks good laying out on my bed...

I figured that if I don't like all of the colors together

when I look at the pictures that I always have the

option of turning them to black and white!

 A little tutorial:

 Have a wonderful weekend!
