{ Pink Paislee flower tree, Elle's Studio blog challenge }

I am still using my January kit from My Scrapbook Nook - Pink Paislee Cupid collection. Fun colors.

I had this Styrofoam tree left over that I wanted to cover with flowers. I punched out patterned paper and old book paper with 2 inch scalloped circle punch. Each flower has three layers of paper, three for the book paper and then one patterned paper with two book papers. I don't know if you can tell that I alternated the rows of book paper, every other row. It just worked itself out. I was worried that at the end the flowers will not fit, but they did. I used brads for the flower centers. I had this huge box of Basic Grey brads and they were perfect. At the end, using a make up sponge, I painted the flower edges with Bubble Gum Shimmerz paint and Hi Ho Silver Blingz. And a card I made for a sweet little girl. Everything is from the January kit and I added fabric, flower and the button.

I wanted to let you know that there is a blog challenge going on at Elle's Studio. Create a layout with journaling that sums up your holiday season, upload it to the web and post your link here, in the comment section OR email us a photo of your layout. Make sure you get them in by the 25th. Everyone that does will be entered into a drawing for a $30 gift certificate to the shop! Winners will be announced on the 25th.
