Creative Monday








































I made these flower arrangements for Mother's Day this year.
One for my Mom and one for my Mother-in-Law.
I originally saw a similar idea on a local TV show,
then I saw the cute flowers Krystal made a few weeks ago
and came up with my own version of the two. Both were fun to make.
To make the flowers, I stamped a large flower on the opposite side of the patterned paper then cut it out. For the leaves, I used a heart punch. The banner around the bottom is crimped. I do suggest putting a floral block in the bottom as to help keep the flowers in place and save on fillers. As you can see I did not do this and I needed more M&M's for the second pot. Thanks for looking!
