Quilled Frames

I am in love with my Martha Stewart scoring board. I just finished making 8 boxes and it was a breeze. They turned out perfect ans it felt like such a treat.A life saver really. I made these frames for an order as gifts for teachers. It was a mad rush order as I was busy with so much happening and visitors , guests etc.I has only 3 days to do it all. I was hoping that it would be liked .I was very happy when my client was thrilled to bits to see them. Makes all the efforts worth it.

Alteration with Quilling

And a close up of the quilling ....

I enjoyed the up cycling of this box yesterday so much that I decided to go ahead and make yet another one. The last one I made had a handmade rose by me and some die cuts. Here I decided to go with all quilling elements. I made the little African violets as toppers for this box. All in all , I think I'm going to 'alter' or 'up-cycle' stuff around the house ...my family better watch out !

After making the roses ...as you can see I went on and on...

I was given a few very nice suggestions how to use them. And I'm on those ideas but one at a time. A couple of more flowers in the mean while ..

Roses anyone ?

Some of my latest lot of paper roses....yummy !Honestly, these are getting so addictive :) This is my favourite one so far ! Last few days I've been trying my hand at making paper roses. There so many gorgeous ones online that I got totally smitten ! After many trials and many, many errors these are the lot I've made. Finally I think ,I'm happy with these. What do you think? Now that you've seen the roses I would love to hear your ideas on how I can use these.

Paper Roses

Did I tell you that I'm on a paper art frenzy these days. Even though I like making punch flowers , these days I'm into totally handmade roses. No punches, dyes or cutters. Plain old paper and scissors! This is the first of the roses :

I've used regular cardstock. The next one , I thought should be a bit different . Here it is :

Let me know what you think ? Which one do you ,like better. I'm open to suggestions. Please feel free you share your views.
