The flowers are blooming...
Spring is here, and I just love it. That means it is almost time to plant flowers, which I am addicted to.
In the meantime, I thought I would share some flowers I made last year for Creating Keepsakes. Each showcases a different idea or technique. I hope a few of them inspire you!
(c) Creating Keepsakes. For more information, cling HERE.My sweet husband is still stuck in Germany. I told him to start swimming. :) Night!
These are SOOO inspiring! Love all of the techniques featured! Hope your hubby can make it home soon! :)

Superrrrrr Cuteeeeee Flowers, Jennifer!
The first one in the "green section" is my personal favorite! :)
Sorry that your husband will be delayed in coming home...
BUT the time apart will only make it MUCH better when he returns!!!

That was a great article. LOVE adding flowers to anything and everything. Thanks again for all of your inspiration. Finally getting into distress inks and loving it.
That stinks about your hubby being stuck there. My DH was just gone for a couple of weeks too and it does wear on you after a bit. I just tried to keep me and my daughters busy, try new things...went by a bit faster.
Posted by: Nikki M | April 19, 2010 at 12:38 AM
These flowers are gorgeous. I can't wait to try some of the techniques you've used (I know I'm too lazy to try them all).

What a lovely post to see early in the morning. Love all the colors. TFS.
I hope Ken will be able to come home soon.

Great inspiration! Thanks for sharing! They just said on the radio that there won't be any flights before 8 pm today. I hope everything will be back to normal soon!
Posted by: Vanessa Menhorn | April 19, 2010 at 02:28 AM
WOW! This is awesome, I will try out a few of these, thanks so much for sharing!
So sad about the flyts, still no so good news last nyt, hope everything will be back to normal and everyone goes home safely.

these are soo fabulous!.. m soo inspired! :D
Posted by: Spardha | April 19, 2010 at 05:46 AM
Thanks for all the inspiration! You rock!
I can totally relate to wanting to have you're hubby home. Mine is in Saudi Arabia on business, scheduled to be routed through Amsterdam tomorrow on his way back to the States. I'm guessing he'll ultimately be stuck too. I tried to re-route him through Asia tonight, but the airlines said he would have to pay for a new $1925 1-way ticket to do so since his current ticket limits him to trans-Atlantic routes. Such a huge bummer. I hate these long business trips to begin with so every extra added day is torture--I'm so ready to hand off my arguing kids. LOL. Anyway, enough about me. My prayers are with you guys! :)

Gorgeous flowers...already had the pages earmarked on my CK magazine. Thinking of Ken and hoping he gets home safely soon!
Posted by: Lynn | April 19, 2010 at 06:28 AM
Amazing flowers.... hope your hubby gets home soon but looks like some airspace (Ireland's for example!!) won't open until Thursday..... the wind is due to change direction later on this week... so hopefully that will sort out the current flight restrictions.
Posted by: Deirdre | April 19, 2010 at 07:04 AM
What an array of flowers, I'm so inspired Jennifer, they look like so much fun was had making them. TFS!!! Try not to worry Jennifer, hell be home before you know it.

Posted by: loriann | April 19, 2010 at 07:25 AM
So pretty love all the different textures and styles. As for hubby I hope he is a good swimmer. I'll say a little prayer to get him home safe too.
Posted by: Carrie O | April 19, 2010 at 07:33 AM

Loved what you told your hubby!

Posted by: Bonnie | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 AM
I love the technique by Jennifer that combines text, ribbon and paper. The more intricate the blossom, the more beautiful. She is so talented!
This is an awesome post. Good luck everyone!
