Do you remember yesterday that I shared with you 2 things?!?!?
- I was going to showcase you this week that there was a product that I was wowed by at Leadership that was totally "NOT SUSAN"
- I was getting together with my friend and super talented Jeanie as she was in total disbelief that it was a "keeper"…..
This is it and it is from the Spring Occasions Catalog….in a million years – I would never of given it a 2nd look unless I had seen it in person – I was wowed!!!
What is it….it is….
The Burlap and Blooms Simply Created Wreath Kit!
Not only did we have a fun time together….we laughed and I heard many times….WOW – this is really cute…this is really fun…..this is really beautiful!
The funniest thing was that I ended up going to her house….and she has the MOST AMAZING "craft area"… and my dear John called and said…did you realize that it is snowing…..!!!!! Amazing how you can get caught up in simple and pure fun!
Here are pictures of both Jeanie's and mine…isn't it fun to see how fun but different they are ….we had a blast! (and her daughter made peanut buter cookies – YUMMERS!!!!)
The end result is that that we had fun!
You can see that Jeanie's flowers are "looser" than mine, and truthfully I prefer them this way…it was just fun to be together and have our own "interpretation" of what was in the kit!
The best thing is that EVERYTHING is in this kit and it is just $17.95…but I will suggest that you have a hot glue gun! It made life s fast and easy!
Here are some close up's of the flowers….it really is a beautiful wreath and I encourage you to "think out of the box" and purchase one to make someone's day! This is a PERFECT gift to give to someone's office….someone in a nursing home…for your "creative space of inspiration" as you will see in the below pictures how I took it to the next level and added some "Susan touches"
Don't you just love computers and a printer! I used our Whisper White Paper and used "Word" to make this simple sentiment! Using So Saffron and Smokey Slate and a "simple tear towards you" does the magic!
These are the added touches that I added – but they are not necessary…the kit has it all….sticky strip on the flowers…..seriously the only thing that is helpful is a hot glue gun!
Today is Monday….and I will PROUDLY be hanging this on my office door and super excited to have some "wreath classes" ….what a perfect time with Sale-a-bration!
Plese feel free to email me and also PLEASE pop back tomorrow with a BIG cup of coffee…why? It is the PALS Blog Hop and there is a "bunch of us hopping" as we will be "show-casing" the things we love about Stampin' Up!
I hope that you enjoyed this "different" post from me….but I can honestly say that it was super fun to put together and when John saw the end result – he said "Can you make one for my Mom"…
Missioned accomplished…!!!!
Until tomorrow!
Hi Susan, The wreaths are very nice, although I’m not a wreath fan. I love the flowers and can’t wait to CASE them. It sounds like you had a great day and a lot of fun and isn’t that what stamping and friends are for! 🙂
Great job on the wreath. I am thinking Spring. It is great when you can get together with friends to craft and have fun. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like you had a great day after your rough one, before. The wreaths are pretty! It isn’t my kind of thing, either, but both of the ones you shared are nice! Thank you for sharing!
I LOVE your “Susan Touches”…. Think Spring is just what we need around here! Thanks for a wonderful fun afternoon! I got to sleep in this morning as there is a 2 hour school delay. More time to play 🙂
Susan, I think the wreaths are so adorable. I am not a burlap person. The two wreaths are great.
It is so much fun to change things up a bit. It is so much fun to get together with friends and “PLAY.”
When a group of my friends get together. It is always fun to see how we all are making the same thing, but some people take a different approach, they are always great. I love your Susan Touches. Happy Stamping, Ellen Hiinds
Susan real pretty , love it
I’ll be here ,
Hugs Frenchie
Fun to do it with a friend. Something about the burlap and the pretty flowers would have to change for me. But, that is just me. Sort of hard to think spring though it is pretty and sunny out but 5 degrees not including the wind chill factor.
Oh crap, Henry threw up, gotta go.
Woozers! Love your wreath.
