feels like forever

Man, it feels like an eternity since I've posted. I didn't want to post willy nilly so I had to wait until a project was finished and here we are two weeks later.

I only really finished one project this week my Mother-In-Law's 60th Birthday was on Saturday and I made paper banners. I thought I'd have time in between to work on the paper flowers or even my shoes, but nope these banners were labor intensive. There were a lot of little pieces and I encountered my first real paper block; ruffles or no? I went with ruffles which only added to the process. I thought that along the way I would pick up an easier way to apply the ruffles, sadly I had no such luck there was no quick or easy way. So hours and one hot glue accident later; here they are!!!

I wanted to try something new. I started with  just the circle and heart cutouts. Then the project took on a life of it's own; a.k.a ruffles and letters lol!

My first finished banner! The letters were too light.

Here are some action shots.

Crafts in action is a wonderful thing! There were 10 banners total and they were a success. Thank goodness!

What's Next you ask??
I think I need to post some how to's on here. I'm not a fan of the video tutorials (as in I'm camera shy) but maybe I can get someone else to demonstrate?? Otherwise it will be good old written instruction.
So that should be up soon hopefully with some pictures of pretty pretty paper flowers!
