We hope that you will take the time to leave comments on our posts, as we love to get feedback from our viewers....whether it was something that you really liked or some new technique that was used that you would like to learn how to do....by leaving us comments, we get to hear what you like, and what you want to see. Thank you… now on to our hop! 

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, also I am the first stop of the hop, so you are in the right stop.

My grandmother just recently passed away, and I know how deeply my father misses her, so I thought I would make my project revolve on a memory piece of Home Decor that he can look at and remember her fondly. I stamped the Honeycomb stamp set in Black Ink and fussy cut out the shapes, also stamping the shapes on the pattern paper from the For Always Paper Packet. Using the For Always Textiles, I cut strips and twisted them and twirled them into these pretty rosette flowers. Using the Licorice Epoxy Bubbles and the Pearl Badge Buttons, I added centers to the rosettes.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Darla of Caution Crafting is Contagious.

      1. Yes, the picture of my grandmother is hand drawn by a friend of my grandmother....I just added a little distressing to add to the effect. Thank you, she will be greatly missed by all.
