Hello, everyone! Another BRRRRR day here in West Virginia! I just can't seem to get totally warm when it's so cold! At least the craft room seems warmer than it did, since I discoverred all the heat vents weren't open.....LOL!!
I wanted to share an idea that I did for my Secret Sister. I have totally loved making the nestability Sunflower #1 die. I found a cute coffe mug at our local craft store. The colors of the cardstock matched the pattern on the cup. I used SU Bravo Burgundy and Almost Amethyst. I used the heart nesties for the 4 heart "flowers" and the sunflower nesties for the 3 large flowers. I love the color combo! The candies are Dove chocolate hearts that I attached to each flower. Then I found curlie ribbon and attached a strand to each floral wire. Everything is held in place with a round piece of styrofoam down in the cup. I also used Crystal Effects around the outside edges of the hearts and on the petals of the flowers to make them shine! I think she will like this. Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow.....I plan to spend the WHOLE day in the house. Til then.....
