Photographers have dark rooms. Mechanics have garages. Artists have studios. And me? I have the floor in my bedroom. When I scrapbook and make cards, it is usually uncontainable. There is paper, adhesives, embellishments, paints, etc. spread almost to a 360 degree angle around where I sit.
So when barely anyone was home this past Sunday night, I decided to set up shop and take over the floor of my room. I hadn't been crafty in a while so I decided to challenge myself with limiting my materials and have some sort of theme since I wasn't making the cards for anything in particular.
What I was allowed to use: 1 piece of patterned paper, the brown fabric ribbon I salvaged from some store's bag, 1 other form of embellisment, paint, metallic rub-on paint, and adhesives
Theme: I attempted to incorporate different forms or shapes of a flower on each card.
Here is what I came up with!
Not the most creative cards in the world, but I had a lot of fun making flowers out of different materials. :)

Those are SOOOO cute Jenners! Did you use patterned paper, or did you actually create all the textures and pattern on each card? Those are absolutely adorable ... when I grow up I want to be as crafty as you ... those seriously are amazing! I may just have to TRY to copy you :) Love you lots.
