April Showers Bring May...


April Showers bring May (Arts) Flowers! I have a tutorial over on the May Arts blog on how to make these chrysanthemum flowers for yourself and I'd really love for you to take a peak and please, please leave a comment over there!




If you decide to try out this technique, come back and leave a comment so I can stop by and check out the handiwork. They are so easy!
 
I sincerely thank all of you for the congrats on the CAS-ual Fridays Design Team spot. Super excited to have you all join in on the challenges.

    Love the woodgrain on this project. You should post your other project too- it's "moxie fab" (hint hint). Love your April Showers line... getting clever :)
