Flowers are Blooming at 4 Crafty Chicks

Good morning, crafters! Time to show off my DT make as this month's GDT for 4 Crafty Chicks challenge blog. Today I created a Tic Tac Toe and storage box filled with flowers. I thought it would be perfect for this week's theme of FLOWERS. And it is perfect for my granddaughter, who crafts and loves to play Tic Tac Toe. What can I say, she's 8 years old.
I started with an empty box that I believe held a man's wallet and covered it with patterned paper on the sides and the drawer. I decided to recess the playing board, so built up a frame from layers of cardboard and covered it with green tissue paper. The face of my Tic Tac Toe board is covered with handmade paper.

Since the theme is FLOWERS, I loaded my frame with blooms, and my playing pieces are jeweled flower gems. Then I filled the drawers so my granddaughter can craft her little heart out.
Where will your Muse lead you this week? Whatever you make, link it up with 4 Crafty Chicks challenges. And as always, crafters, have fun!

Creating with a Quirky Flower Theme

If it's your birthday today, I hope it blooms with wonderful surprises! That is the sentiment inside my DT card for Quirky Crafts Challenge blog today. I got to play with a digi image called Peekaboo Lulu

from Bloobel Stamps. I colored her with Copics, then cut out the inside of the circle fro which she is peeking. After backing the image with purple paper from my stash, I cut a circle slightly larger than the image and "framed" her with it. Besides the flowers in the patterned paper, I adhered an assortment of jeweled flowers around the border. (Can you tell that the thee over at Quirky Crafts challenges is FLOWERS?! lol

A line of lacy border, a handmade bow and my birthday greeting finishes off my card. I hope it inspires you to create with flowers this month and enter the challenge. There are three sponsors in May, which means more bang for your buck, or rather more chances to be a winner. Besides Bloobel Stamps, the challenge is sponsored by Ike's Art and Delicious Doodles.

Happy crafting!

Quirky Challenge Reminder
