Ana's here with this week's post!

I started with basic business sized envelopes and cut the patterned paper. I used my crop-a-dile to punch the wholes and used ribbon to bind it all together.

Go get inspired, Lucky Girls! Let's see if your project is the winner!!!

Mid-Week Mojo: Forsythia

It's spring! Who needs a better reason to celebrate?

For this week's midweek mojo, I want to share a less "traditional" project made from the May 2011 kit, Spring Soiree.

I was sitting in my craft room, looking out the window, and I saw a forsythia bush in full bloom in my neighbor's back yard. Forsythia is one of my favorite spring flowers, and as I was looking at it, I realized that I had that same bright, sunny yellow in the cardstock from the kit, sitting in right front of me on my desk.

I adapted some paper flower techniques I have seen around the web and experimented to make the four-petaled flowers... First, I cut out the shape, then I used an orange colored pencil to add a bit of shading to what would become the center of the flower. Next, I curled it a bit over a pencil so that it would curve more easily into a cone. Then curled each of the petals outward, and finally, I overlapped the two edge petals and adhered them together.

Then I went out into my back yard to find myself a stick (it wasn't hard! with all the storms we've had here, we have lots of little twigs in our yard). I used Glossy Accents to adhere the paper flowers to the branch, then showcased it in a shadowbox frame with black cardstock behind the matting.

The perfect piece to celebrate spring!

"Forsythia" supplies:
from the May 2011 Lucky Girl Crafts kit "Spring Soiree"
solid cardstock: Bazzill (Orange Peel Lemon Tart, Cris Cross Beetle Black)

shadowbox frame
orange colored pencil (Xonex)
stick

We've got a winner!

It's Party Time! May Friday Fun Day Challenge

Hi Lucky Girls!
Thanks for joining us for our May FRIDAY FUN DAY CHALLENGE!
Where imitation is the highest form of flattery!

Stacy's got a great project for you today, so I'll pass it on to her:

I have to say I love this months kit, "Spring Soiree"-- there are so many possibilities with it. The Pink Paislee paper line is one of my favorites. Since it's a birthday theme line, I started to look around the house to see what I had to alter. My grandson is going to be one in June, so I found the perfect frame to alter so that we can place a picture of him in it after the big celebration. Here is what I came up with.

So this is my challenge to you...look around your house and see what you come up with to alter. It can be anything..a frame for a picture, a tin to keep all of those special notes in, a box to gift a gift in. I'm sure if you look ladies you have lots of stuff to alter and turn into something special!
