The brown and pink paper is Micheal's Recollection ..and the Butterfly paper is called Chocolat cherie 8-1903. Now the ribbon is just a dollar store ribbon...now the bow will it is made by using a Mini Bowdabra...I still need to learn a bit more on how to use it ....the wordart is fromTLC...the place I learn on how to do the folds for the cards was here I would love to found the paper they used for decorating the front ..it is beautiful.

Mojo Monday and I am posting...what is going on ...well round cards always get me thinking ...so here goes a round but 3d look ....I don't have the spellbinder punches or cards already punched with a scallop edge ...so I try to create what I can with what I have...so below is my round card... so what do you think...the paper has sparkles on it ...need to learn how to take better pictures of my cards...hope the next picture shows you what I mean but 3d..... and here is the square card ...I know not to much thought there....but I love the blue I picked ...

now the papers are Micheal's recollection stock...the flowers a package I picked up a Micheal's to...now the words used in the second card were from TLC boy I am thankful for that site ...I don't have many word stamps ...and there at TLC you can pick up some great stuff.

Now I am sure that Barb, Nina, Samantha and Val will have their cards up soon make sure you check them out ...you will found their names under family and friends...and check out Neti's site some awesome embroider there.

Have a great week....hugs to all

Ok here we go ...my good friend Valinda sent me this youtube tutorial on making these flowers ...so this is my first one ...8 scallop 1-1/2 circles...I am damped them and then started rolling them up like spit balls ....them open them carefully ..and stacked them together....a small brad is in the middle holding them all together ...then start in the middle squeezing them back into buds ...and so you have what I have ....the flower below ...my first one ...

now this is the card I made using the two I made and also some cutouts I did the other day at Sam's....using her cricut ..those machines are awesome the things they can do....

So what are your thoughts on my creation...hope to get better at them...now Barb I did try the rolled paper flowers..but ...well ...need practise or something. Thanks Barb for pointing us all to the flowers ...and the place to watch them being made....
