Making a Washi Tape Rose, WW

I've been having so much fun with my Washi Tape lately!  I was watching a YouTube video and the lady added a beautiful rose to her craft.  I was impressed with how easy it was to change the whole look and feel of her box she made and so I decided to try and make my own Washi tape rose.  Here are a few pictures I took while creating my rose.  

First, I lined up strips of Washi tape to create the pattern I wanted.

Second, I created a template and cut out all my petals.

Third, I strung them all together using my twist tie.

 

Lastly, I curved up the sides and rotated them to make the impression of a rose and placed it on my latest card design.

Do you have a new craft you've made lately?  I'd love to hear about it!  Be sure to leave your blog link for the WW Blog hop!

Here's a Quick Way to Turn that Frown Upside Down, WW entry

I was recently listening to a Podcast from Dean Dwyer, and he was sharing about the company Life is Good.  Today while I was on Youtube, I stumbled upon one of their videos.  It was all about optimism.  By providing a product line about optimism and giving back the founders offer a great way to turn that frown upside down.

 

A few other things that I find help me smile is when I see my kids giggle, or enjoy one of those perfect cloud skies I love so much.  I also smile when I see a flower bloom, there is just something magical about the whole process.

Here are a few pictures to illustrate what makes my frown turn upside down:)
