A winning, tutorial and an adventure

Busy, busy day today.....but I forgot my camera :(

So I will share the flower tutorial I was going to post a few days ago.

But before we get to that, I want to thank Nicole at Canadian Nickel. I won a tarot reading from her blog, how fun is this going to be :)   I just went to her blog to check on her awesome cards, then she notifies me that I won :)

Nicole got me hooked on colouring with Stampn' Up markers.

Marlene got me hooked on colouring with Copics. Those two enablers. LOL. They are both Masters in my book.

Now onto my Tutorial

I love to make me own embellishments. I don't even know why I purchase a lot of my embellishments.

 Today I will show you how to make one of these rolled flowers.
There are a lot of tutorials on the net for these.
But I received one made by Marie Claire and used it on a tag I made.
We were at my SIL's camp so had to figure out how to make it by just looking at it.

First I punched some card stock with my scallop circle punch.

 Then I cut out a wobbly spiral circle. I did cut it like this on purpose :)

 Then starting at the outer edge of the spiral, you roll the paper between your fingers. You keep rolling it on itself until you hit the center.

 When you get to the center just let it sit so it relaxes a bit. Then put a nice bit of glue on the center circle and press it to the bottom of the flower.

 Now lightly grasp the top and the bottom of the flower until the glue sets.

 Now look at your cute little flower, isn't it pretty.
You can make these any size you want.
The one that Marie Claire made was made with a circle, not a scallop circle. So either way you get a beautiful flower :)

Onto My Day:
I had a blast today.
My SIL, Sharon, Heather, Kristy (yes I let her skip for this adventure :)  and I crossed the border into the States to pick up some parcels my daughters ordered.
We went for lunch at the casino. Man that Hamburger and onion rings were delish. I was so hungry, I wanted to eat the next tables leftovers.  They all thought that was funny and kept joking on how I would go up to the guy and ask him if he had any contagious diseases, then take his plate and eat the contents.
Ya we get silly when we are together.

We went to the corner store to pick up a pop. When we were leaving, I stood in front of the height thingy ( the ones they have so see how tall the robbers are)  to see how tall it said I was.
It showed that I was 5' 1".  I am 4'10".  So I told Sharon, hey I could steal this pop and they would never find me because they would be looking for a tall person.   Well she bust a gut on that one.
Bummer, I forgot my camera at home. Because believe you me, I would have got her to take a photo of that one :)

Hope you had a creative Wednesday.
