Quilled Aster Flowers

I recently attended the BZBStampers "Bloom With Us!" Hive Happening presented by my amazing upline, Barb Brimhall, and many, many talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  I was wow'd by the new catalog demonstrations, fabulous make and takes featuring products from the newly launched Holiday Mini Catalog, made new friends, won an awesome doorprize (stamp set), and ate an amazing catered lunch!  What more could a girl ask for?!

The theme was "Grow With Us," so I thought it would be fun to make these Quilled Aster Flowers to help fill the Grange with! 

I got the idea for these flowers from Craft Project Central. 

Here are a couple of the other beautiful flower displays:



Don't you just *LOVE* these?!

Flirtatious Suite Framed Art Piece

I've been creating like crazy with the Flirtatious Suite line in the new Idea Book & Catalog.  I just love the 'flirty' lace prints on the designer paper, stamp set and designer fabric!  I made this framed art piece for my dear friend, Georgia, of her beautiful daughter, Elly, as a gift. 

I used the new Pennant Parade stamp set and coordinating punch, which are so much fun to play with!  I strung the pennants together with white Baker's Twine.  The flowers were made by cutting pieces of the Flirtatious Designer Fabric with the Fun Flowers die and my Big Shot, baby! ~ It's rare that I make a project without my Big Shot  :)

I can't wait to give this to her!
