I'm All Into Making Paper Flowers This Week.

I just wanted to let you know what I've been doing lately.  I have totally fallen in love with making paper roses by hand.  Really,  I do all the cutting and folding, and then gluing by hand at night while I'm watching TV, and it find it so relaxing.  It does make my hands kind of sore, though.  I mostly make roses 4-5 inches across with all sorts of paper colored on both sides.  I ink the edges to make them look rustic, and then I paint a pretty little bottle like the one above and make it look rustic.  I'm going to start an Etsy shop to see if I can sell some of the bouquets, because I don't have that many shelves in my house to set my creations on.  Of course I'm still into Close To My Heart, and our new catalog for 2015-16 comes out in Sept.  I've seen it, and the new Holiday stamps and papers are wonderful!  Send me an e-mail if you want a new catalog.  Otherwise you can go right to my website next month and order:

AN ALBUM FOR OLIVER JOSEPH

Hello again - and so soon. Will wonders never cease? I just finished and mailed off this new baby album (for a baby boy this time), and I wanted to let you see it. It's my standard video featured on my video series "An Album In A Day" done a few years ago. If you want to try making one of these albums, go back to the beginning of my blog, and they'll probably be on there, otherwise, look on my You Tube Channel on the 3rd list or so. I still have one more album to make, but I have the instructions memorized now, so I don't have to keep referring back to the pages. However, I'm thinking of trying another type of album soon. Anyway, if you have any questions, message me. Also, visit my Close To My Heart web site for specials going on there: http://justamidnightcropper.ctmh.com.
