Rick Rack Flowers

Rick Rack Flowers....Adorable!

I found the pink rick rack rosette flowers on pinterest!

I love it so much, I'm embellishing head bands for Back To School!

The tutorial is in Spanish, but the pictures are easy to understand.

You can find the tutorial here:

(There are several different versions of rick rack flowers/google.)

I simply made my rosettes by rolling the rick rack together and securing into place with

a glue gun--no sewing!

There are a lot of creative ideas for using rick rack rosette flowers!

T-shirts, handbags, rings, necklaces, bracelets, the list goes on!

I will be making more for the holidays!

I think red and white rick rack would be great for Christmas.

Enjoy!

Frame A Smile

Welcome back to more ideas to create and share for

A Happy Valentines!

 Frame a Smile!

Especially CUTE for BABY, CHILDREN'S ROOM or NURSERY!

This is where the Frames started

 Frames are simple,

A plain, 2-3 inch flat frame surface works best.

I found my frames at Marshall's, they vary in price from $3.00 to $6.99.

(I still need to finish the large one)

This is what the frames looked BEFORE the DECOR-

Materials used: Mod Podge, Heavy Weight Textured Card Stock, Tulle,

Pearl Beads, straight pins, glue sticks and Ribbon.

You can find directions and endless ideas for adorable flowers HERE .

You can also see a Fabric Flower TUTORIAL UTUBE video HERE.

The Red Frames are great for Valentines!

I added red pins to the center of my handmade fabric flowers.

My Frame is covered with textured glittered red card stock paper.

You can make the Tulle flowers the same way as the fabric flowers, they are especially cute

with frilly pink paper!

I made small green leaves to accent the flowers, I made them on my sewing machine.

Place two green fabrics right sides together, start sewing a leaf pattern, trim and turn.

Pinch the leaf together and glue into place.

Paper from La Creme Stack (Premium Stacks) DCWV

I love the heavy texture of the paper.

I added a small doily with the handmade fabric flowers, along with

a tiny trim of black rick rack and printed ribbon that reads:

Cherish, Love, Joy.

I must say, they are addicting, the possibilities are endless when it comes to

coordinating patterns and colors!

CHERISH the one's you LOVE!

For Cupcake Recipe, see previous posts.

Enjoy!

Cupcake Pin Cushion

Welcome Friends!  Welcome Monday!

The Cupcakes are back with a little more frills and thrills!

What is NEW with the cupcakes?

I added fabric flowers and green leaves to the cupcake tops.

I think I'm addicted to cupcakes, I would like to cook up a dozen more!

You can find my cupcakes HERE!

My little daughters love them as much as I do.

I'm also excited to show you the darling

Table Runners I received for Christmas from our loivng and talented Grandmother. 

 I received one for every season!

I love every single one, they are delightful and exceptionally cute!

If you would like to make a table runner, you can find a tutorial  here at:

Deck The Halls Of HOME with JOY!

My sister showed me how to make these Table Runners last year/January 2010.

They are super fast and can be made in 20 minutes!

The cupcake table runner is one of my favorites!

I will show you more throughout the year.

The Table Runners, Cupcakes and "Sweet Heart" are a welcome addition to

A Happy Valentines!

Enjoy!

Have a Marvelous Monday!
