Did you see???

Good morning Bloglanders

Did you see???  Since the beginning of this year I participated in the weekly Play Date Cafe challenges and even though I only get inspiration from there and never win or even get mentioned my little flower hair clip from earlier this week did it!!!  I had such an awful week and these little flowers were in my hair every day to cheer me on.
For those of you who missed it, just scroll down and you'll share in my crafting fun.  I've had requests to show how I made them and will do a tutorial over the weekend just for you.
For all your messages and support during the week, thank you so much.  I really appreciate your friendship and sympathy. I'll be back tomorrow with some more FLOWER POWER. Have a great day and please come back to play.

Flowers to be continued

Good morning Bloglanders

It's Monday and a brand new week!  Over the weekend I read "Signature styles" by Jenny Doh and what an inspiring book!  It made me think.  I'm actually a hybrid crafter but since I started this blog I moved to doing a lot of cards as they are such quick projects to try out techniques or practise with new tools.  BUT, this is not all there is to me!  So, I've decided to get a weekly theme that inspires me and try out more hybrid projects to match. 

Nothing like the present. Here is my first hybrid on my handmade flower theme that I chose last week for the CPS card:
I made these little felt roses and attached them to a hair clip.  I used The Play Date Cafe color scheme.


I'm sure everyone in Stellenbosch will notice my hair clip today - very, very bright and funky for this cold, winters day.  I love it!

I did another card as well.  Normally I try to make at least 3 cards with the same theme as I love giving sets away as pressies.  One normally looks too sad and lonely to me.  Another of my hang ups - even cards have souls when I make / give them. 
This one is going to The Old Back Porch for Week 32 of the 52 Card Pick-up. Even though I'll be doing more hybrid projects I'll keep up my card making as this is great fun.

Well, that's it from me.  Have a great Monday and please come back to play.
