Here is a card I did from {Dixie Pieces May Kit} leftovers and created my flowers with fabric from the kit. Creating Flowers from Fabric By Lucy Chesna The fabric needs to be stiffened so you can create your flowers from fabric Supplies Needed: wax paper fabric stiffener sponge brush paper towel Step 1. You want to take the piece of fabric and lay on top of the wax paper Step 2. Then you want to squeeze a good amoung to the fabric stifferner on top of the fabric. Step 3. With the sponge brush spread it around that the fabric is completely saturdated and then you want to peel it off the wax paper and turn to the other side and place it on a new piece of wax paper. Repeat step 2 and clean off the excess with paper towel. For less stiffess:thin with water. Clean up: use cool water and soap while wet Step 4. Allow the fabric to dry up to 2 hours but it may take longer on how saturated the fabric is. After the fabric piece(s) are dry then you can cut it up to make your flowers or anything

My friend Christine and I went to the CK Convention in NH. It was great and went shopping especially in my favorite booths like Rusty Pickle, Quick Quotes, Dollar Scrapbooking and so much more I won one of the door prizes when I was there- 1 year subscription to Paper Crafts ( woohooo) and had some yummy skinny cow ice cream. The best part is I got FINALLY bought the Bind-it-All. They were having a special when you buy it, you get a package of stuff with coils to make 10 ablums. Its so cool.
