Some of my Graphic 45 Entries - Better luck NEXT TIME!

Sequin Flowers

Sequins, where did they come from, how do we use them?? I wasn't a big fan of sequins, but I am now!! Maybe you will give this a try!!

Image

1. Take a chipboard shape.
2. Glue sequins to it.
3. Seal it with Glossy Accents!!

More Flowers

These are so easy to make, why not add one to your next project!

Image

1. Cut a strip of ribbon 1"X 11"
Image
2. Fold in half and do a running stitch along one long edge.
Image
3. Gather your fabric tight and whip stitch together to form a flower. Add a button.

These look beautiful in lace!!

Kleenix Box

I don't throw anything away that can be altered or transformed. I even purchase with that intent! Call me CRAZY!! But below is an example of just what is possible when you think outside the BOX!!

I still have lots left-over from the Kleenix box, even the frame on the LO is from the Kbox. But this is really good for making cards for those people (we all have them) who don't quite appreciate our efforts! When I give them a card made out of kleenix box, I feel I've done right by the environment, saved money and made myself laugh!!

So now as you can imagine I have all this kleenix without boxes. So here's what I did about that! This is made out of an old photo box!
