Technique Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! I wanted to share some tips for getting a holiday photo done. It is one thing that I start to stress about a little bit, knowing that those cards will need to be mailed out soon!
Start early. Now is a good time to start thinking of getting the family together for a picture. Decide what everyone will wear and what you want the background to be. Even going to pick your tree could be a great photo moment. Find someone to take the photo for you, or set up the self timer on your camera. Take allot of pictures when you are set up. The more people that you have in a picture, the more pictures will be need to be taken to capture the perfect moment (and account for those closed eyes!)

I cannot believe November is almost here! Doesn't this sneak look delightful? I have to say, this upcoming kit is amazing. You are going to love it- so full of fall loveliness.

Technique Tuesday- Flower Power

I wanted to give you a little tutorial on how to make a dimensional flower. You can use it as embellishment for a gift, or even to put it on a scrapbook page! I used my example for a gift that I will be giving to my niece this Halloween.

You will need to cut some strips approximately 1 inch wide by 12 inches.

Pleat the strips. Then cut the strips depending on to what size you want the flower to be. Then place the cut strips on top of each other and staple together.

I then used a circle punch to cut out the polka dot paper as the center, and added an alphabet sticker. Happy flower making!
