NEW STUFF :)

For personal satisfaction - and to save some money - I have started making paper flowers for my cards, scrapbook pages, etc. After watching many youtube videos and reading blogs by the most talented designers, I have learned a lot about tools and techniques!

   THE PUNCH BUNCH TOOL KIT for making flowers can be purchased online from Joan's Garden: http://www.joanscreations.blogspot.com/. Joan carries the tool kit and a wide selection of punches specifically for creating your own paper flowers. Her prices are very reasonable, and she doesn't mark up the shipping cost - whatever it costs to ship is exactly what she charges. (She's a sweet lady and very talented. If you enjoy challenges, check out her weekly tag challenge!) The Punch Bunch Tool Kit has everything you need to make any type of flower your heart desires!

The next item is the PRECISION FILE SET (by Basic Grey). I purchased this really cool set from www.ohmycrafts.com/.  It includes five different sizes and shapes - you can distress areas you couldn't reach before! AND it's only $5.95!!!
