Challenge 2!

They are just rolled stripes of tissue paper sue!! They really couldn't be any simplier, but look awesome!! And wasn't it a great idea to add some flowers with stems there Charm!! lmao!!

Well my flowers don't look that good when I roll them... I guess I just need more practice!

I roll mine too tightly to look that good!! Will have to try doing it looser next time!!

yeah vicki.... dont be so uptight.... hehehe....

yeah thanks for the stems idea although I didn't do what you suggest and put one pearl at a time i prefer it to be easier and wack a whole strip of them on

LOL, i'm uptight and ur just lazy!! lmao!!

LOL... I could sit and watch you two scrap all day - so much to learn... Who would have thought scrapbooking could have changed so much in the last 8-10 years!!!!

My flowers are coming out too tight too. I tried again last night and had to give up. Uggh - I will keep practising though.

Are these flowers in the "Tips & Techniques"?
I was wondering are they twisted on a circle base

I don't think they are Joy, but i do know that Charm doesn't use a circle base, she does them flat on the table!

There was a link, to a link to a link somewhere that Charm put up - I will see if I can find it for you.

I have the link Ant, so i will put it up a little later!!

im loving learning how to make flowers... its fun and saves you so much money too

Ok.. here is the link for those flowers: http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2010/02/recycled-roses-wreath-tutorial_24.html

Thanks Vicki I thought if I have time I might have a play to see if I can do them

Here is my LO...... I didn't get to comment on what inspired me.... I love the garden, the bright colours,and the white title.

My handmade flower I used a punch and layered the 'petals' in a circle and used a button as the centre.

Hehehe, DH came home from work yesterday a bit concerned about the "red stuff" on his sandwich "it was food dye wasn't it?". Apparently I had missed cleaning up a bit of the red food dye from my misting the night before on this LO, which I had mixed on the chopping board which he uses to make his sangas in the morning....I promised him I wasn't planning "death by scrapping/misting or anything of the sort!"

Hahahaha Ant!

THANKS!

I've completed this layout, will upload soon.

Love your flowers Charm, I've tried to make these ones before...hehe they certainly didn't turn out as nice as yours.

Will have to check out your links for the crochet flowers Vicki...I've used one of mine on my layout. I'm only just started doing them, some of them are shockers ...off to check out the gallery!

Mine of this is done, will upload tomorrow.
