Paper Dolls Challenge Monday Week 7 Drawing

If you are visiting with the Faith Blog Hop God's Promises --- please scroll down a bit further. Thank you

I was thrilled while in the hospital getting an email from Thienly of Paper Dolls saying that I was the winner of the drawing for the flowers .... now, don't get me wrong but those who know me know that I am not a pastel flowery type person --- well, either old age has set in or I was totally wowed and now a believer!!! I love the flowers and will most definitely emboss projects with them! Thank you Paper Dolls! As you can see, the presentation was just as lovely if not more sew than the actual flowers!!! What I'm upset about, this is the last week of their challenges!!

My project was a flip flop box with a rose decoration on my flip flop!!! Double the project fun and we all know how much I'm enjoying making those flip flop boxes!!! In fact, I have made 4 total and yet to keep one as I gave one to a dear friend which was a black and ivory with a butterfly, gave 1 for blog candy which was my peacock that I called "tickle" to Susan E. Burmudez who is also a friend and sister participating in the Faith Blog Hop God's Promises (you need to check out her blog as she is an over-achiever and I could only hope to be that as she has posted a different project for each day!!!) and then another 2 for my RAK for the month of July which was the one picture below along with a blue one called "sweet" filled with mints!!!! Now, I also need to show you my RAK's from Trace Geneau which is an adorable cut of a koala bear which I am just loving him right now and don't want to part with him for the June RAK!

My July RAK is from Cherie Pemberton with a beautiful get well card

thank you Cherie

I'm enjoying my toys from you
and
can't wait to make cuppy cakes to put the candi circles on!!!

Thank you my dear friends and followers who have become part of my "extended" family --
God Bless

Paper Doll Flip Flop and Rose

Well, this project has a dual purpose - not only is it for a challenge, but also for my partner in RAK (Random Acts of Kindness)! I love when a project has muliti-purposes . . . sew its Flip Flop time again!!! Well, maybe not but I do love my flip flops! The Paper Dolls are having another link up challenge - Monday Week 7 Challenge 3D Flowers with not only the instructions on a pdf file but the svg cut file for the flowers and did I mention its FREE! Their link is on the right side. Bear in mind that I'm not a flowery type person but I do love this flower and it is amazingly simple but looks phenominal! And just how purrrfect is that rose decorating my flip flop?

All files were cut using the free svg files from The Paper Dolls! The paper used is from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack which does have a nice sparkly flowery type paper which I have used previously for cards but now realize how kewl it looks as summery flippy flops!!! This brand of flip flops, I am calling "sweet"! I used some rhinestones for the center of the rose on Pat Catan's clearance table for a quarter!!! Now, how sweet of a deal is that?

Hope you enjoy this fun project as much as I had fun making it!!!
God Bless

Flippy Floppy's

Don't you just love this adorable flip flop. I found this a little too late and with not feeling well, there was a challenge with the pattern being provided at http://paperdollsblog.typepad.com/main/2011/06/challenge-week-4-wearin-my-flippy-floppys.html and with being too late, I didn't qualify. Oh well, I still love playing with this and looking at my flippy floppy how hard is it to believe that this was made with paper!!

I was just sew inspired because I love my flip flops and then to make it into a little box what couldn't be cuter to give as a gift with a little treasure inside!!!

I used the StampingCricut Cartridge for my little butterfly with a shadow with adding a little bling bling with the rhinestones and wire for the antennae and some upholstry braid for style! I named my little flippy floppy "SOAR" with my butterfly as butterflies are free and one could only wish to soar and be free! With my OCD, I just had to line both my box lid and box bottom along with my sides. Just couldn't leave it white!

Hope you enjoy my flippy floppy and stop over at The Paper Doll to see her challenges for some wonderful inspiration!
