Dryer Sheet Flower Fun!!

Hello there!  I have three posts for you today - hence, my DDD post launched a bit early to avoid a traffic jam on the blog :)  


I just love flowers!  I think it's part of my English mom's heritage in me that I'm always wishing I lived with a backyard filled with an English style garden with mazes and trellis' full of flowers :)   Any chance to build/craft/create with flowers is always a good day :)  And since it's my turn to post on The Scrapping Cottage blog, I thought I'd bring you a slightly different treat!  And one day last week I was zipping around on SCS and saw the tutorial on used dryer sheets and fell in love!  We - a family of 6 - definitely have mounds of laundry and dryer sheets are a must, so when I saw the tutorial, I was super eager to give it a try.  It was soooooo easy!!  You can see my step by step pictorial here on the Cottage Cutz blog, and here you can see the final product :)  I ended up adding my recycled dryer sheet flower to a collage.  This is one of my favorite past-times to create without any general direction - all the pieces in this framed collage are all scraps!  But if you truly want to some some collage-type inspiration, please stop in and visit my friend, Julie - oh my... she is an inspiration! 


So here is the final result, cut using the stitched flower die (love this die!), run through the Cuttlebug with a shim and dryer sheet.  After they are all out, I spritzed them with some Tattered Angels in Trunk Bay (the color :) - let them dry and edged them with some Stickles glitter glue.  After that was dry, I just built up the flowers and added one of them to this collage with a verse, scraps of material and buttons and added it to a small frame.  Easy and such a lovely result!

The Final Product - a flower collage in a frame! :)

Without the frame :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings!
