You cannot help but love the holidays… time off (if you get it) really allows you that extra time you need to unwind and have some fun! Yesterday I got together with a friend of mine and we spent the day being creative… while our children played away! It was fun for all of us!

I got lots done and am not going to post it all today but here is one project. This uses the Wings paper, Black mini-medley accents, a pearl opaque and one of our clear cards. I really wanted to try something I had seen done a lot lately with our clear cards- running through an embosser- and I got to say I LOVED this. Here I used the swiss dots on the front of my card and I really like the extra punch it packed!

Wondering about my flower? this is a simple accordian flower made from folding your paper into a fan (my paper was an inch wide and I think 16 inches long for this flower). Once you have folded you glue the two ends together and then glue the flower to your project- now when glueing down your flower be generous with your glue- liquid glass or glue dots would work best here!
