* Shabby Topiary *

The pure joy of finishing a project! About a month ago, a group of paper crafting friends, including me, got together and created this beautiful topiary! It has been on my to-be-completed list since and finally this morning it is fini!

The flowers were created by using SVG files, please do not ask me how, as one of the ladies, Debbie Young, a very talented paper artiste, in our group did all of the behind the scenes preparation and cutting.

Just in case any of you are wondering, I am also planning on creating one in Stampin' Up! style with our awesome Spiral Flower die! Perhaps one for moi and one for a special friend...could that be you?

Ha! Ha! You will just have to wait and see ;-)

Happy Stamping!

Now that the Christmas season is behind us and we look forward to a New Year, I thought that I would share something FUN!

My all time favorite design style is shabby chic...having said that...I created two versions of the above item as Christmas gifts for my Christmas team meeting parties. And, I also made one that I could have for myself!

This was cased (copy and share everything) from Elizabeth Gross. You can view her blog at:

Hope that you are all enjoying this fantastic New Year and all of the goodness and promise that it holds for each and every one of us!

Happy Stampin:
