Mini Bouquets

| mel@apeaceofcreativity.com

I don’t know what it is but I love mini bouquets! They are such a sweet, little sentiment to give someone and are perfect for those “just because” occasions. If you hate the clear plastic wrapping as much as I do, here is a super easy way to dress up your mini bouquet.Grab a sheet of your favorite printed scrapbook paper. Glitter and double-sided paper would be super fun too! (Have you heard about my scrapbook paper addiction???) Turn it over and fold up one corner.Place your bouquet on top and start to wrap the sides around the bouquet.Once you fold over the last side, fasten with a piece of clear tape or even a pretty printed label or sticker. You could even wrap a ribbon around it if you wanted to get extra fancy.That’s it! Really! Pretty market flowers that no longer look like they were from the market.

5 Minute Frame

| A Peace of Creativity

A dear friend and colleague of mine will be a first-time grandmother to not one,  BUT THREE grandchildren this year!  I had been keeping an eye out to find frames to showcase all 3 grandbabies in her office.  Nothing was striking me, and so, I decided that I should start with something simple and elaborate on it.

My original ideas were to cover the entire matte board in some sort of print or cut out large paper flowers and put in the corners of the frame.  Going through my expansive collection of scrapbook paper to find inspiration, I came across a geometric pattern which happened to have wording applicable to the occassion.

I used the outline of the geometric shapes to cut out interesting patterns that could be glued right onto the matte board.

With minimal time or effort, this is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your gifting.
