Always Crafting challenge

Good evening,
I got inspired to make more more project after getting some house cleaning done. The challenge was to make an embellishment. I decided to make 3 flowers by cutting out a spiral from paper with decorative scissors(yep,still have some) and then rolling it starting from the outside in then adding some hot glue.After the flowers were done I added some stickles to the petals. Next, I wanted to make something other than a card, so I decided on a post-it note holder. For the holder I used a 5x7 acrylic frame that I added decorative paper inside, added tulle, flowers and some pearls. I think I may make some of these for gifts. I hope this inspires you to pull out those decorative scissors and use them. I hope you like it.

Two Scraptastic Gals challenge

Wow, three post today. I have been creating so much that I have to post more than one item a day. The challenge for this card was I had to use Country Life cart. I was feeling a little crazy when I decided to make this card and didn't want any Valentines. So I used the pigs and cut off the baby pig so I could make this a "party" card. The pig ribbon I have had for a long time and wanted to use it, so I finally found something for it to go with. The hat,balloon and noise maker are stickers from Jolee's that I have had forever! The stamp is from MPS and says "hog Wild". I think this will make a fun B-day card for someone. Have a great rest of the day.
