Flower Swap Basket of Goodies

This is the basket of goodies I received from Archana in the Lil Scrap of Heaven Flower Swap.
She did a beautiful job!!


Isn't this just the sweetest little basket???? I love how Archana altered it with the lace and pearls and PINK! one of my very favorite colors!!!

Here's a wide shot of all that she had in that cute basket.
Aren't these lovely?? I can't wait to use them in a new layout!

Some closeups. I love the pink lacy one and I really, really like the green one on the bottom right with the stick pin. It looks so vintage.

Ooohhh!!! Just look at the blue lacy one and the blue lollipop one with the feather and the yellow lollipop and the other blue ones and the stick pins!!!! Which one do I start with?????

........the red one the black and white polka dot (I'd LOVE to find this ribbon!), and the chipboard ones are kinda cool. Going to have to find something cool to use those on soon.

.....and the beautiful paper coral roses (Archana I wish I could make roses like this! they are gorgeous and the perfect size), there's that pink lacy one and awesome vintage green one again!


Thank you so much, Archana!!! They are all so beautiful! I hope to make a layout soon so I can use a couple of these on it. I hope we get to be partners in a swap again soon!
Hugs to you!!!!

Flowers I made for a Flower Swap

These are some of the flowers I made for a flower swap I am in for April. Had a ton of fun making these, too!! I could make these all day long!
The requirement for the swap was you had to swap at least 20 flowers and 5 of them had to be handmade, the rest could be store bought. I think this will qualify!

Here's a few more....really liking the fancy ones! Thanks for all your ideas Fiona!!!
(I watch ALOT of YT videos to get ideas of what's out there. Jennings644 YT has got some of the BEST flower/craft videos yet! I think she has made 1500+ videos, make sure you check her out! The fancier flowers are from her inspirations and teachings)

A few more....The smaller ones started out as a mistake....or so I thought but I actually like them now, more original!
All are handmade by me!
