Live a Life Inspired for Wild Orchid Crafts

Hello, everyone and happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's my turn to post on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog and I'd love for you to stop by, if you have time :) This month, the designers were challenged to create projects different from our norm. I can't remember the last time I made a scrapbook page, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to remedy that oversight, using an assortment of flowers and supplies from Wild Orchid Crafts :)

For my layout, I used papers from Kaisercraft's Enchanted Garden, and I left the space blank for a picture, to be added later. The clock off to the side is also from Kaisercraft. The tag pulls out so you can journal on the back, too.

For the sentiment, I used a Donna Downey stencil and a Prima Chalk Edger, and then added some doodles with a white gel pen. I applied crackle paste through a Prima stencil and then ended up covering most of it up :)

I used an assortment of flowers, including Lotus Flowers, Magnolias, Cottage Roses, Trellis Roses, Open Roses, Hip Rosebuds and Lilies. I also added some TuTu Pink Prills and Memory Box butterflies.

I also used some of the new Pink Double Stamens (love them!!), Mulberry Paper Leaves, Guipure Lace, Vintage Seam Binding, Flat Back Pearl String and Pearl Sprays, as well as Self-Adhesive Pearls. I also added tulle for a bit of added texture.

A Memory Box Adler Star Corner was used on the bottom layer. An Avery Elle Wonky Stitches  die was used in the center, and a Memory Box Sideshow Ticket die was adhered to the top

Two doily dies were layered: a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily and a Prima Crochet Doily. The tag is a Sue Wilson Pierced Tags die.

It pulls out to reveal the sentiment, from My Creative Time.

Tucked among the flowers are Concord & 9th Layering Leaves, Penny Black Graceful Greenery, and Memory Box Stitched Leaves. I also used some of my latest obsession...Prills in TuTu Pink.

Fabric Flower Hair Accessories for Wild Orchid Crafts

Hello, everyone and happy Monday!! It's my turn to post on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog and I'd love for you to stop by if you have time :) This month, the designers were challenged to step outside of our crafty box and create projects that were different from our norm.

For my projects today, I created hair accessories using gorgeous fabric flowers.

For the headband (that could be used for a wedding) I used Almond Blossom, Almond Blossom and Babies Breath Flowers.

I also used Pearl Drop Trim, Flat Back Pearl String, Pearl Spray, White Stamens and Bead Berry Sprays.

Let me introduce you to my model...this is Francesca, or as I call her, Franny :)

Isn't she beautiful??!! Franny was a birthday gift from my parents last year :) One of my favorite things to do is dress her for the holidays.

Here she is, in all her patriotic glory, celebrating the Fourth of July :)

For this barrette, I used Autumn Blossom and Babies Breath Flowers.

I adhered the flower to a piece of grungeboard that is sturdy but malleable. I then glued it to the barrette.

For this barrette, I used Autumn Blossom and Babies Breath flowers, as well as Bead Berry Sprays, Skeleton Leaves, Mulberry Leaves and Pearl Sprays.
