Paper Rosette Video Tutorial

Happy Wednesday,
Today feels like a Thursday, not a Wednesday….

I was playing with the upgrade in ilife 11′. It has a few more features, but not too much that I would use in my videos. Great stuff for home videos though 🙂 The iphoto update is amazing and I can do so much more…

Today’s video is a tutorial on how to make your own paper rosettes. Tim Holtz has a die for making rosettes but this one just uses a score board and border punch. Enjoy….

I’m working on the list of all your video suggestions. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to contact me (above link). I think Gypsy will need to be high on the list 🙂 Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Have a great Wednesday 🙂

Felt Flower Fun

Fabulous….

My mom loves making her own flowers and she asked me to try out felt with the Sizzix 3D flower die….
It is so awesome and I think easier to work with than the paper….

I’ll be back tomorrow with a halloween mini album kit…

Hope you are having a great weekend…
Hugs
