Birthday Bouquet: Revamped Newborn Bouquet

You can click HERE to see what the Newborn Bouquet looked like. This was for my God Daughter. I told my brother that I would re-do it for special occasions in her life. I took out all of the sticks & newborn cuts & gave them to them to use in her scrapbook.

Then I turned it into a Happy 1st Birthday Bouquet:
I used Plantin Schoolbook for the signs & Doodlecharms for the Birthday hat. I can't remember which cart the balloons came from. The butterflies came from Home Accents & Indie Art.

The big pink & white flowers I made. I used crept paper streamers that I had left over from Karissa's baby shower. I ran thread down one side of the crept paper & gathered it. The I attached the 2 ends together to make a circle. To get the circled in different sized just trim the crept paper to varying widths. I layered them & added a skittle to the center. I got this wonderful idea from Johanna, so thanks Johanna. I saw her describing these on this VIDEO, please go check it out - she has other great ideas for that crept paper.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Bouquet - Day 3

This is the bouquet that I made for my daughter to give to her teacher for the 3rd day (Wednesday) of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Details:
Apple, Ribbon, & #1 Teacher was cut from the Cricut Sampler Cart. (I think)
Bag, A+, & Teacher's name was cut from the Plantin Schoolbook Cart. Also Cricut Design Studio was used to weld the letters together.
Flowers & leaves were cut from the Home Accents Cart.
I cut strips of paper & ran it though my crimper to make the grass filler in the bag.
I still have to make a tag to put on it, but that will be done before my daughter has to bring it to school.

For the flowers: After I cut them, I crumpled them & rubbed a ColorBox Pigment ink pad over them. I layered them & put a yellow brad in the middle to hold them together. I attached all of the decorations to the painted skewers with Terrifically Tacky Tape.
