Have a Holly Jolly Holiday.

Medallion Flowers Tutorial...

It’s simple and easy. All you need is some wonderful MLS paper and MLS cardstock stickers along with glue dots, stapler, scoring board, 1” circle punch and your favorite border punch.

First, cut a 1.5” x 12” strip of your favorite MLS paper, I used my favorite paper from the Harmony line called Tranquility. Using your favorite border punch, punch along a border on one side of the paper as seen below:


Then score the paper every 0.25 inches.


Then fold each of the scores to form an accordion:


Staple the ends together to form a circle


Then punch 1 inch circle and add a glue dot in the center


Place the accordion circle on top of the 1 inch circle


Here is what the back looks like


Add an MLS cardstock sticker to the center


Finish embellishing as you wish and you can create variation using different border punches.


If you get a change to try it out, go to the My Little Shoebox Facebook page and post an image of your project.

Have an announcement to make...

On my birthday I got an awesome call from the crazy girls of My Little Shoebox, Erin and Pattie, they told me that I had actually been selected to be in the MLS design team. I have known Helen, owner of MLS, for a few years know. I have worked with MLS on several CHA's, Scrapbook Memories TV Show and catalog work. I feel so honored to have been one of 22 girls that get to design for such an awesome company. Here is the announcement: MLS Blog. Here are my submissions:

Dear Blog...

I'm sorry you have been forgotten. I promise to try and update you more often. But you should know that work has been really crazy and will continue to be. Therefore you have been given a hello goodbye in quite a few months. I really do miss you but every time I think of updating you something else comes up.

Sincerely,

Your long lost writter
