Shabby Chic Flowers

Hello Folks ! =)

It's been a while since my last creation, but you know... I prefer being inspired than doing things by obligation. And this time, I made some flowers to decorate a shelf in my living room.

I used a very easy folding technic to shape the paper flowers. That's in fact 4 elements that I glued together with a glue gun, I can't do without this tool anymore, I just love it.

The rest isn't complicated at all, I just put a stick in the center of each flower base and I simply attached a ribbon in a spiral all around the wooden stick.

Voilà :) Don't hesitate to ask me the link of tutorial I followed to make the folding job.

Party Lucy

Hello Bloggers :)

I hope you are all well...

It's been a long time since I've shown you my "first" card, but you know what it is to be a mother & wife, and it's not always easy to find what busy women call "time for myself". I often feel like crafting, but I can't in the moment... and I'm always frustrated. On the other hand, I feel so inspired when I really have the opportunity to display my craft supplies on the dining table. I don't know if I would be able to create something "that would satisfy me" if I had to force myself.
Anyway... here I am with a new card to share using the pretty "Party Lucy" stamp.

I am entering the following challenges (first time for me, have never done this before) :
