<span style="color: #e69138;">Meet Jordan, a lovely bride we created a custom package for in September of last year. Jordan's colors, flowers, and overall wedding choices were perfect for the natural setting of her big day! We were so honored to be trusted with creating one of the most important aspects of a wedding for Jordan! Her journey from meeting her groom to making the greatest of commitments on her wedding day was truly the classic American love story. We know it will melt your heart, just as it did ours. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">Though Jordan and Clark had met prior to their fateful encounter in 2009, the sparks that flew were newfound. They ran into each other again in their hometown of Gouverner, New York on the basketball court of a local pickup league. Jordan fondly remembers Clark's basketball skills as not being NBA worthy, but when he stepped off the court, his manners and chivalrous nature got her attention in a big way. She describes him as being the ultimate gentlemen, just as sweet in nature today as he was back then. For their first date they went to the movies, and although she describes the film as having been horrible and completely off par for what their own relationship would become, she remembers Clark's kind personality shining through. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e69138;">Clark proposed to Jordan one week after she returned from a family trip to the Bahamas! The time without Jordan around was proof to Clark of just how much he enjoyed spending his life with her. It was time to cement their love into the span of forever! Though neither of the sweet couple are great at keeping secrets or presents a surprise, Jordan was just that when she came home to find Clark standing at the top of the stairs, on one knee. Clark had turned on their song, Unthought Known by Pearl Jam, to set the mood to pop that all important question. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">On September 28th of 2013, Jordan and Clark were wed at their lakeside home on Sylvia Lake in New York. Jordan and her bridesmaids were thrilled and relaxed, beginning the day with a little jump for joy!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">With the glorious shades of nature's own yellows on display all around them, the setting was truly perfect, and on accident matched exactly.

The tables were done up in soft dove gray table cloths, with yellow cloth napkins accenting the gray. Rustic mason jars were on the tables, and chair covers gave a perfect final touch to the decor. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;">We'd also like to thank Jordan's photographer, Shannon Isereau of Rae of Life Photography for these incredible photos, and give them full credit for the photos shown in the blog. Jordan is a HUGE fan of Shannon's work, saying that without her amazing talent none of these beautiful photos would have been possible. She goes on to say that Shannon captured so many great moments throughout the day, and that thanks to Rae of Life she is able to vividly remember the day because of these fabulous photos!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">Over the weekend of the 22nd, we spent part of the day as a team walking the Norfolk Botanical Gardens! What a lovely day to see such a beautiful place! Although it wasn't peak bloom time there, we were able to see many beautiful flowers in the Winter Orchid display, and in the Bloom Competition that was going on there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Real flowers are what inspires each and every one of us here at More Paper Than Shoes, especially our Designer and Creator Anna. Taking the time to walk through the grounds and witness the beauty of nature was both refreshing and exciting. When you make flowers for a living, nothing is more inspiring or motivating then being around hundreds of hundreds of blooms. Some were so beautiful we couldn't help but think, "How would this look as a paper blossom?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">So to share with you several of the flowers that really captured our attention, we wanted to blog about this trip and the gorgeous inspiration that can be found in nature. Our brides are always looking for something different and new. We want to be the first to give them something they've never seen before, and as a team, we feel the key to that lies in nature. In the softness of a bloom crafted in the pod of a seed we see the designs we need take our flowers a step or two further then the norm.</span></div>

Orchids have long been one of my favorite flowers. I have purchased them so many times hoping to cultivate them in the privacy of my home. Has anyone else ever tried to keep an orchid alive? It is HARD! What's crazy about that is that in the wild, orchids will grow and thrive on ANYTHING! They can grow on a rock! With NO soil, no ground, just a rock! It's mind boggling how hard they are to keep alive indoors. Now I'm sure there are plenty of experienced gardeners out there who know how to keep them alive, but for me, it was impossible. Needless to say, they hold a special place in my heart because of their delicate, wild beauty. Some of the winter orchids we saw were absolutely breathtaking. I'm hinting hard to the Flower Queen that we need an orchid prototype! ;) </div>

It seemed to be that the list flower, right above, had personality. It was like being in Alice and Wonderland and waiting for this delicate orchid to start giggling and talking in a sweet soft prissy soprano. That's one of my favorite things about orchids, that they always seem to be smirking at you. The delicate white of this flower with it's ruffled edges and soft touch of yellow was breathtaking, and inspiring. </div>

Looking through the greenhouse, we felt a strong sense of excitement and urge to take this inspiration given to us in nature and DO something with it! Anna was deep in thought as she walked the rows of potted orchids and tropical plants. You could almost see the flower sketches dancing in her head, playfully turning from side to side. Reaching out and touching these waxy blooms, you feel the delicate molding and shaping of the petals, where they joined, how they separated. It was AMAZING to study them as Anna does. </div>

I don't know about you guys, but I would NOT have wanted to be one of those judges. These were blooms taken from outdoor plants, both protected and unprotected, all local to the Norfolk area. It was astounding how many blooms were entered, and I honestly couldn't find a flaw with any of them! I did have two favorites however!</div>

It was hard not to want to take up gardening after seeing these blooms! Then I remembered, I seriously lack the green thumb required. The mood of the contest was saturated with inspiration and excitement for us. Looking at the color variations, the petal shapes, the overall shaping of the flowers, the precise blend of one of tone to another, we knew we'd be thinking flowers for the rest of the weekend (as if there were ever any doubt). </div>

We hope you've enjoyed this walk through the Botanical Gardens with us. If you love paper flowers, make your own or are just beginning to, take a cue from what's around you. Go out, explore, find a garden where you can wander and day dream. Take inspiration from what's in nature to set yourself apart. If you love MPTS' creations, keep watching the blog and fan page for the new customized flower designs that you'll be seeing over the coming months! With all the inspiration Anna gathered at the Gardens, you're sure to start seeing a whole new family of flowers at MPTS!</div>

Here at More Paper Than Shoes we have been brainstorming about some new blogging projects that would best showcase both our flowers AND our past bridal customers! We have had the extreme pleasure to work with some LOVELY, LOVELY brides! Wedding floral is one of the most important parts of a girl's big day and we are always delighted when a bride chooses us to handle this for her! We decided we wanted to revisit a different past bridal client each month, share her story, her flowers and feature her on our blog and fan page!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our very first featured bride of the month begins here in March and she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Laura's flowers, venue, dress, and story were SO charming, we just had to share her with all of our fans!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laura met her groom Ryan, almost five years ago at a July 4th party. Ryan was a friend of her brother's and a few other mutual friends. When they met at the party, they immediately hit it off! They decided to go out to dinner together a couple of nights later and Laura tells us that the rest is history! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their engagement was equally as charming, and very fitting of their personalities! Laura is NOT a surprise person, and she shared with Ryan that she did not want to be proposed to in public, with a food item, and most importantly she wanted it to be a private, intimate moment. Her groom paid close attention to Laura's wishes, and he proposed to her in the quiet, cozy setting of their apartment living room, on their couch! She describes it as being perfect for them, and wouldn't trade it for all the billboard/airplane announcements in the world! This had us charmed! Her description of the loving, intimate moment of proposal between her groom and herself was just too darling! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laura's flower selections with us were truly one of a kind and we were thrilled when they were completed and shipped out to her. We couldn't wait for them to arrive!</div>

The bridesmaid dresses were absolutely gorgeous with each dress being different in style and slightly varying in color! Their bouquets were the perfect compliment to these adorable dresses! We LOVE this photograph of the flowers lined up in front of the bridesmaid dresses. (See below)<br />

Laura and Ryan were wed in Delray Beach, Florida at venue called Old School
Square. The setting was exactly the non traditional, unique feel Laura had
searched for when planning her wedding. The venue was actually once a
school, now converted into a Historic Arts Center.<br />

Laura's wedding was truly beautiful, with tones of coral and pinks that gave her wedding a pop of color unique and perfectly fitting her personality. Our flowers were a lovely compliment to the already gorgeous bride, bridesmaids, and reception venue. We'd like to thank Laura Binder for allowing us to share her story, photographs from her lovely day, and most of all for choosing us as her wedding paper florist. We are so pleased to have had her as a past bridal client, and most importantly to have gotten to know this sweet, charmingly beautiful bride! Thank you again Laura and Ryan! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Each time we create a custom bridal package for a bride, there is an immense amount of love, sweat and tears that go into it. We know that our flowers are a huge part of each bride's big day, and we want to make sure that every single petal is truly magical just for them. No two flower creations we make are exactly alike! </div>

I'm not sure about the rest of you but I'm so ready for spring!! I want to see flowers popping up and showing off their beauty. We have had a very mild winter, except these last two weeks in which we got a few inches of snow. I would rather shovel sand than snow any day!<br />

I thought I would share with you these lovely images of flowers. These make fabulous tags or images to place on cards. Color them in with your color pencils, Copic markers or whatever you might have on hand. You can cut them out with your Spellbinders Nestabilities dies too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you have fun creating some lovely projects with these.</div>

You will need to make a hole in the center to run your stamen through. I used a small needle. Please keep in mind not to make your hole too big, your stamen will fall out if it's too large.</div>

So, if you haven't heard yet, I'm teaching a class! We are having so much fun too. I think the best part of the class is getting to know the ladies who are taking it. We have a private facebook group so we can chat and laugh. It's so nice to see what others are making for the class and the different reasons why they take the classes too. Not only am I teaching them techniques to create stunning flowers but I'm also teaching them what to do with the flowers after they make them as well. I thought I would share what we have been creating so far with my blog readers to get you motivated to start creating some fun projects yourself. </div>

Wow! It feels like ages since I blogged! So many wonderful things are happening for me that I don't know where to start, hmmm.. lets start with the "The Knot" Industrial Gala.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My wonderful friend Brian Worley sent me a message a few months ago and asked if I would want to help him with an art installation that he was planning for the gala. I'm so glad that he couldn't see me when I got the message. I was doing a very outrageous happy dance. I had a very rough summer and this is what I needed to get my passion back for making fabulous paper flowers. When we talked on the phone I had that "oh my goodness this is not happening to me, am I dreaming?" feeling but keeping my cool like always LOL. We hammered out the details and we were on cloud 9.</div>

The designs and linens he wanted to use were fabulous. A recipe for success! That was not the only thing that was fabulous about this event. The location was too. The New York City Public Library on Madison Ave! What! Where! Are you sure??? LOL now I knew that I was either dreaming or on one of those candid camera shows. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the shock wore off, I got to work and we started making magic! I kept laughing to myself, "how in the world am I going to get these there?" There was NO WAY I was going to run the risk of mailing these flower to New York and they get lost or damaged. So, I made the decision to drive. A decision I would later regret!</div>

We packed up the car with all the flowers, tools and everything else that I might have needed to assemble the bouquets when I got there. It was very humorous, think of a clown car with at least 8 people in it. We were on the road to NY and I was getting very nervous. There were a lot of "first times" for me about this trip. I had never done large bouquets like this before, this was my first time going to NY and my first time meeting Brian in person! So butterflies were dancing in my stomach. </div>
<div>
We finally got to NY and then the nightmare of driving really hit home LOL. I can't even describe what happened to us. Not only was that a mad house of dysfunctional traffic but our street was blocked off for a parade that was scheduled for the next morning. Instead of the hotel parking us we had to park ourselves. We finally found a parking garage that was several blocks away BUT WAIT... how were we going to get the stuff to the hotel. Another humorous moment. I really could write a book on the adventures of Anna and New York. It would keep you laughing for ages :) </div>

The next day was much better! We slept in glitter and I actually think we might have ingested some too! Our hotel room was covered in glitter. I was up late the previous night hanging out a window and glitter blasting some flowers. It was definitely in the air of New York City that night! This is what our hotel room looked like while we were assembling the bouquets. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-92LjBXXqWeosDEMBk8A96DmHKAD13Q0You5xf3BtigDgHb3sql8tJg-ODKOVY45DcC2c_GOYsEQ1VTkhD-XsKKCJeOGrexef6W5R98CcWSR1x7jSLc9BKw8Zx4KVhpN5Ejzn2RqY0grN/s1600/before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-92LjBXXqWeosDEMBk8A96DmHKAD13Q0You5xf3BtigDgHb3sql8tJg-ODKOVY45DcC2c_GOYsEQ1VTkhD-XsKKCJeOGrexef6W5R98CcWSR1x7jSLc9BKw8Zx4KVhpN5Ejzn2RqY0grN/s200/before.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

Thought I would share with you all a cute little project I made yesterday. Using my left overs from the layout I created the other day I quickly assembled this project. However I did have to cut a few petals out from the SVG file <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/item_36/Elegant-Florals.htm" target="_blank">"Elegant Florals"</a> from <a href="http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/" target="_blank">Scraptastical Kreations</a> to create the lovely flower.</div>

She has a couple of different collections of cut files that she has created for flowers. Be sure to check her out on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scraptastical-Kreations/120204111343309" target="_blank">facebook</a> too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is how I assembled my flower:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First you will need to cut out 3 large petals measuring 3" and one small petal that measures 2.5"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you will need to spray them with glimmer mist ( I used Tattered Angels "Rouge")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BAQWuF0JN-SvCptkDGLLR84LANat8EwrFi-70h9_CPAK-aoZsoL-v4ihtbjeyJg53CwuwQMnR-dnG6ycnUdcU4h-RzHPPmsD0Q4kVYuAcQBEsAHk3zg4Z5RVN6AYDiGC3t-U_PHIMt78/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BAQWuF0JN-SvCptkDGLLR84LANat8EwrFi-70h9_CPAK-aoZsoL-v4ihtbjeyJg53CwuwQMnR-dnG6ycnUdcU4h-RzHPPmsD0Q4kVYuAcQBEsAHk3zg4Z5RVN6AYDiGC3t-U_PHIMt78/s320/6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you spray the petals, use your heat gun to dry them. When you are drying the petals, right before they get stiff take your fingers and create an accordion fold on each petal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBk7Ivd2hIlG0L-Da15qN59C_HJ47EFgcywipXQa4L1e0eUi8lcmP77KcekjRfFaS_vbozgQxXfvzxYpCeyU8JKqwYb0PPjYZ1N8UcYdTlPI_Kg2dsb8xNG6uaHYl7oifyABURxoJD9Lnu/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBk7Ivd2hIlG0L-Da15qN59C_HJ47EFgcywipXQa4L1e0eUi8lcmP77KcekjRfFaS_vbozgQxXfvzxYpCeyU8JKqwYb0PPjYZ1N8UcYdTlPI_Kg2dsb8xNG6uaHYl7oifyABURxoJD9Lnu/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once they are dry you will want to slightly pull on the edges of each petal to open the fold up a bit. Then take a skewer and curl your petals under on each set of flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubMAlGor3hUFu-8YgfVsIa49sFFOdJumziEwqX9JKRrnOJlF6TwZEx9N_hYgEnFmo6LB4xTFYf8rEimYwgveEcXh_Rxcfmw19AwcgMEHDBEEULIeAbPLvHL5FmAtHmVobE0vLv1Sc720v/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubMAlGor3hUFu-8YgfVsIa49sFFOdJumziEwqX9JKRrnOJlF6TwZEx9N_hYgEnFmo6LB4xTFYf8rEimYwgveEcXh_Rxcfmw19AwcgMEHDBEEULIeAbPLvHL5FmAtHmVobE0vLv1Sc720v/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They should look like this after you are finished.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use the Tulip Puffy Paint to create a snow like texture no each petal. A small line goes a long way. Please don't put too much on the petals or you will have a mountain of snow..LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you are finished putting the puffy paint on, you will want to heat up the paint with a heat gun. This will cause the paint to "puff" up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After every thing is dried you will assemble the petals by laying each one inside of the other. Start with your larger petals and don't forget to alternate them so they will not lay on top of one another.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then embellish the middle with stamens, buttons, bling or a button.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
WOW! Let me just say it has been a very busy 4 months. Some ups and downs but I'm sooooo... ready for the new year! I think the hardest part of walking your path in life is that some times you can't see where that path is taking you and you doubt yourself. I think that is some thing that many of us struggle with. We try to plan how the path will go and we start doubting it once our plans are adjusted or caught off course. Some times that best thing to do is sit and be still. Let yourself have a chance to see where the path wants to take you instead of where you want the path to lead. It's a very hard thing to do. This is the hardest thing I struggle with. I want to see the end result before I walk down the path and I have learn you miss A LOT when you have your blinders on. Some times you get caught up on trying to figure it all out, that you miss a lot of what is going on around you. When that happens you need to pull into a pit stop. If you can't get your head back into the game your pit stop may be the one thing that keeps you from going after your dream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was at my recent pit stop I decide to just sit down and create a page. I can't remember the last time I created a 12x12 layout. Maybe the summer?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept the layout simple until I started creating my garden of flowers.</div>

I love adding all kinds of trinkets into my garden of flowers. It's fun to hide and seek elements, specially when you are working with sprays of flowers. It's almost like a game of "Where's Waldo"!</div>

I hope to have some more time after the new year to work on some fab projects and showcase them here on my blog. I haven't been using it very often. I just need to get back into the swing of things again :)</div>

I have been working on some thing in between all the hustle and bustle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have added a new and improved classroom on my website. </div>

We have not opened the doors for visitors just yet BUT I am holding a VIP class in Feb 2013. This will be the opening of the first classroom. We hope by March 2013 to have the creative commons where you can see the different classrooms you might want to join open and ready for registration. That is still a work in progress but the VIP class is going to be an awesome flower class. You can read more about it on my "<a href="http://annafearer.blogspot.com/p/how-to-classes.html" target="_blank">How-To Classes</a>" page. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">This is my favorite time of
year! I'm so excited about this class. I love decorating my packages for the
holidays using paper flowers. It's such a treat to get a gift that looks too
good to open. I love decorating around my tree with the packages too.

Everyone knows that
I love creating paper flowers and in this class I want to share my passion for
them with you. I will teach you several flower designs using punches, SVGs and
PDF Templates. We will use these flowers on our packages and other decor items
in the class. I also love adding filler items to my flowers to make beautiful
arrangements and decorations. I will show you how to make some filler items and
how we can incorporate items from the store to make wonderful holiday
arrangements. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will create
small to X-large flowers in this class. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will push our
limits when it comes to standard flower making. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Want to make
beautiful flowers? </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then this is the
class for you!</div>

I just love Etsy! It's not only where you can find my beautiful handmade paper flowers but much more treasures that have been handmade by others too! I love creating treasuries on Etsy. It's something I love to do when I'm at work, waiting for the phone to ring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a treasury that I created called: A Classic Romance </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love vintage and love to see people use it in their weddings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My beautiful Elizabeth Roses that are created in the cream with the brown v\centers are perfect for your vintage wedding scene. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just go on the record to say that I should be married to <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/" target="_blank">Graphic 45</a>. Well, at least dating it..LOL. I'm madly in love with their paper. I love the vintage feel to ever piece of paper they make. I have lot of this collection and love playing with it. I used the <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/little-darlings-category" target="_blank">"Little Darlings"</a> collection on this frame. I was digging around in my stash and came across some of the pink paper in this collection and had to play with it some how. Then I eyed a Dollar Tree frame that I had that would go perfect with the images that were flying around in my head. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love creating in front of <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/more-paper-than-shoes" target="_blank">my Ustream</a> fans. They help motivate me to play around like this and have fun. They will keep me going for hours. I could sit and create for them all day if I had the time! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame I used is from the Dollar Tree. These are adorable little frames and they have many styles to choose from too. People often walk by these frames and say ewww...that looks cheap. Well, give it to me and I will bring it to life and have people saying wow...that looks pretty. Don't ever judge a frame by its cover..LOL. </div>

While you are at the Dollar Tree walk on by their floral section. The ferns that are sticking out on the side of the flower sprays are from Dollar Tree too. You get a lot on one stem. They make great fillers in your projects. I love using the ferns in my vintage projects. We have some Victorian homes in Norfolk, VA that have lots of ferns hanging from them. I love that look of them hanging from the large front porches. </div>

On this frame I used <a href="http://petaloo.cameoez.com/Scripts/PublicSite/" target="_blank">Petaloo flowers</a>, which is another favorite of mine. They are nice to me and allow me to purchase wholesale from them for my kits for my classes. Unlike some others that I dare not to mention! I love the <a href="http://petaloo.cameoez.com/Scripts/PublicSite/?template=ShowCatPublic&cat=487647" target="_blank">velvet mini blossoms</a> that they carry. It's a nice mix of flowers and they are great for adding that different texture to your sprays. Of course I make paper flowers too so I added a few to the frame. I actually have a tutorial on one of the flowers that are on this frame. You can find in on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MorePaperThanShoes" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>. It's called the Ruffled Roses using your <a href="http://www.mcgillinc.com/products/stacking-punch-scallop-circles/?F_Sort=2" target="_blank">McGill scallop punches</a>. It's a very easy tut. </div>

I love using a mixture of things to add to my sprays. Buttons are my favorite to use. Sometimes I will add them to the centers of flowers and I will tuck them in between the spaces in my sprays.</div>

They always say less is more right? Well, in this case big is better! If you want that WOW factor at your next event then these are the flowers for you! I made these for a lovely customer of mine and the range of colors really make these pop. I was so thrilled to create these. They are great for a center piece vase in the middle of your tables or as a bouquet. These are stemmed on 18" fabric covered floral wire. They are very sturdy and hold these big blooms up perfect! The flowers measure 5.5" wide. I can create these in any color you can imagine. </div>

It is believed that the art of paper flowers came from China almost 2,000 years ago. WOW....that's a long time ago. They would use paper flowers for religious offerings which would float in containers of water. After time went on they would make them for creative channels for meditation. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">In Victorian days women would create paper flowers when the real ones were out of season. They used paper flowers to decorate several rooms in their home. It was also a favorite pastime for women of that era since they were very limited on social activities. </span></div>

Even though paper flowers are time consuming I feel that they are less expensive than real flowers and last a lot longer. Above is a vintage photo of lady selling paper flowers at a local fair. Maybe we are relative?? LOL. </div>

I was such a tom boy was I was younger. I was the one girl who was NOT afraid of the boys! Let one of those boys mess with one of my friends, w<span style="background-color: white;">ell, he would have been scared the next day to walk back in class..LOL. Tough as a rock and never would let my guard down. I didn't like pink </span><span style="background-color: white;">and never was about dressing up. I wouldn't sit still long enough for ANYONE to mess with my hair, let alone paint my nails! I was too busy climbing trees </span><span style="background-color: white;">and defending our fort from the boys. They were always trying to steal our stuff. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I have to say that little girl started shedding her tough skin and found a passion that she never thought was there. Making flowers for some is <span style="background-color: white;">a hobby or a thought of the day idea for most. To me, I have learned so much about myself. This, for me, is a passion. I truly have to say that making these </span><span style="background-color: white;">flowers takes me to a place where I get to know myself better. There is nothing better than sitting and sculpting paper into something beautiful. It's almost </span><span style="background-color: white;">as if all the beauty I was guarding from others comes out in my flowers when I create them. My guard is still up high and is a constant battle to tear down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe this is something I was meant to do to help myself in other areas of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could write a book...lol. The lessons of making paper flowers! :) Well, for now let me just show you a few thigns I have been working on.</div>

I started to create large roses. Which I actually got to look right and love them on the stems! My fav so far! There was a bit of trouble trying to get the <span style="background-color: white;">stamens to look right in the larger roses. The bigger the rose the higher the centers were and the stamens are only so tall. I got it and I think they look great!</span></div>

These frames make a great gift and they would look super cute at a wedding with the bride and groom's picture in it! Display it on the table along with a book for people to write comments to the couple wishing the well with the life they will share. My mind goes wild with ideas for decorating with my flowers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
