Michelle from scrapngrow is SUPER FANTASTIC!!! I had a lot of questions...considering I live in the desert and have a black thumb LOL.....but as you can see she guided me along the way.....Check out her blog - her flowers are GORGEOUS! and her tutorials are nice too!!! You too can be on your way to a "Bloomn Garden"!!!
The only thing I changed was, I made my own leaves and flower pot. The leaves are 5/8" w x 8"L strips that I rounded the corners and scored down the middle then used a white gel pen then slightly curved the leaves and added two leaves per crocus. Oh and I cut the crocus stems to 6".
 The flower pot was cut from the silhouette and I found the pattern in the silhouette store.

CRICUT TIME OF COURSE!!!!!! ROTFLOL!!!!!!
Do ya think I'm addicted to the cricut?? LOL I guess that's why I'm called CRICaholic.....
supplies: 11" clock,  green and white cardstock, carts: Car Decals and George and Basic Shapes and Don Juan
I got the clock at Wal-Mart its 11" diameter. I made an 11.50" circle and a .50" circle(centered) using George and Basic Shapes cart. I couldn't get the hands off the clock so I cut a slit and slipped it on the clock and glued down the edges.  I cut out my cricut heads using Car decals @  2.50"h  and cut out the numbers from Don Juan @ 1.25"h. I started turning the hands on the clock and at every hour on the clock I glued down the numbers and cricut heads. Trimmed the excess paper around the clock, put in a battery and I have a CRICUT clock!!

Decided to make some cards to send to family.
supplies:
SU cardstock;lovely lilac,summer sun, regal rose and glossy white
LSS; beige,black, metalic silver cardstock and vellum
Chomas Creations; black mini marker and embossing kit
            
I cut the pencil (smiley cart) @ 3.39h. notice on the yellow part of the pencil I took my stylus and scored lines to give it ridges like a real pencil and hi-lighted it with ink. I didn't care for the black band below the eraser so I cut a strip of silver metal cardstock instead. The wording on front the letters are from plantin schoolbook @ .75h and I used the chomas creations black mini marker on glossy white cardstock.
I wanted to do something different inside. So GLAD I did, I LOVE EMBOSSING!!!! Chomas Creations Embossing kit is the GREATEST!!!! OH MY!!!! Embossing is going to be my new thing!!! I LOVE IT!!!
the letters are from plantin schoolbook @ .50h and I put a 3.75 x 3.75 frame around it so I would know where to cut but I liked the embossed frame so I took my trimmer and trimmed around the frame. the spiral design in the corners are from Don Juan and I put those there to hide the glue dots. Neat idea huh? I like the play on words too.
