Hello everyone! I hope your having a wonderful Thursday! It's been raining here all day! Which in my opinion makes a great crafty day!! I seen something similiar to this on Pinterest and decided to give it a try! Click here to see where I got my inspiration from! I think I've mentioned this before but if not I'll say it again I LOVE PINTEREST!!! There is just so many neat ideas and the talent out there is just AMAZING!!
I took a medium size styrofoam ball and hot glued mini cupcake liners all the way around to form my ball. I then added a wooden skewer to the bottom. I'm really not sure what to call the little planter thingie I used for my vase! I had picked these up many moons ago at the dollar store when I was going to plant some seeds and never got around to it! I feel so stupid right now as I'm typing this up because I just realized I have no clue what to call what I filled the inside with either!! I know you use it in flower arrangements but I swear my mind has went BLANK!! Anyhoo, I also added a little bit of styrofoam so the skewer could stick in and also stand up on it's on. I then tied a bow with some pink tulle. I used the heart die from Emma's 100% Sweetness and also the stamp she designed to fit perfectly onto the heart (LOVE these two!). I then used Spellbinders label 3 and cut one out of pink card stock and the other one the next size up out of kraft card stock. I used Helmar's ZapDots in between the layers. The word love is also from Emma's 100% Sweetness stamp set. Before I attached it, I cut a small strip of pink card stock and hot glued that down and then added the sentiment. Whew, I have no clue if any of this made sense! I am HORRIBLE when it comes to explaining things!! Hopefully it did but if not and you have any questions please let me know and I will try to explain better!!
Well, I guess it's time I better get up and start "thinking" about what we are going to have for supper tonight! Thanks for looking! Hugs, Leanne
