There were a few themes that ran rampant throughout the convention floor at CHA Summer. We noticed that Flag Banners were all the rage as was dress forms, and Paris! We saw them everywhere and we saw some amazingly good ideas on how to use these themes to really make a statement. Maya Road loves chipoboard and layers and we were inspired by their creations to create this Make & Take.

Using scallops and accordians, buttons and paper flowers, this collage makes a great decoration for many occasions!

The possibilities are endless with this idea. Use any paper combos to change the theme, any embellishments to further the possibilities. Imagine a Holiday theme and attaching this beautiful ornament to a special gift box. These are so fun to make and is a GREAT way to use up scraps of paper and left over embellishments!

Week #2 of the BYOB Garden Journal has already come and gone! By the way, the back-ordered flowers that you recieved a note about in week #1’s kit, have arrived. You will be getting them as you pick up your week #2 packets. Tiffany decided to hand out the package as opposed to separating the flowers by week so they will be used a few weeks in a row. Just follow the diagrams and images here or in your kit and you will have no problem!!
