...to show you a unique way to add Manor House flowers to your layouts by creating your own beautiful, handcrafted floral vines. You'll be surprised at how easy they are to make and what a gorgeous embellishment they are for your pages. 
Following is a list of the supplies you'll need.

Here's the fabulous vine you'll create.


These lovely Whimsy flowers from the new Winter collection make a stunning vine. You can easily divide them to make smaller flowers and buds.
I've used  just three Whimsy flowers, with three large leaves and two small.


Creating a flower bud.
Here I removed the outer layers of the Whimsy flower, using the base layer of petals to create this smaller budding flower.


Manor House Creations Products:  Whimsy- cream, leaves large and small.

Gather your supplies and come and create your own Manor House Creations vine with me.


Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed my video.
I have to thank my good friend Gabi Pollacco http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.ca/ for the inspiration behind the vine. I saw one she created a while back and Manor House Flowers are the perfect blooms to use.

I'd love to hear how you go with creating your own Manor House Creations floral vine.

So...


What's been happening in your life? Couldn't think of another title for my post on this late Sunday arvo.
Tell me something interesting that you've been up to. I'd love to hear.

Here's a new layout I created for Manor House Creations to show off their new Winter 2012 collection.
"Paris Dreaming"

 Well I've mentioned before how I'm always fiddling around with my los even after they're finished. Here's the final one. I started with a b/w pic but I think I deleted the colour too much and then just abandoned the whole b/w idea and put the colour back in.


These new flowers really are the most beautiful collection I've seen. I love all the gorgeous textures.


 Here's the soft pretty Rosettes.


My girl just before the braces went on.

Love these gorgeous bling corners from Flourish With a Bling. http://www.flourishwithabling.com.au/store/
They have a fabulous range of bling embellies.

And a cute card for my sis who's been having a very hard time but is off on a holiday today.

 Hopefully she felt in the holiday spirit after getting this.

I used the Rosettes again but cut them up for the water. Those cute Beach huts and vine are also from Flourish With a Bling.
