Paper Flowers

     Making Paper flowers is soooo addicting.

     I found a tutorial on youtube that teaches you how to make your own paper flowers to put on layouts and other projects.

     Here are some that I made so far...
 

     So these are some of the paper flowers I made... 

     Off to making more...

WOYWW 169 & Getting my mojo back

I missed last week's WOYWW. I missed a lot of desks over at Julia's Blog.
This week I was determined to join the "craze". So here's my desk for the week.

And here's my side desk. The main desk is actually my brother's, but he opted to use a different computer table so I got to use this one. The unpainted cube rack was made by my uncle. I haven't sand papered it yet but will do when I get back from the errand my mom asked me to. I'm still deciding what color to paint it with.  Also disregard the uchiwa (fan with the face) on the side. I haven't organized my Japanese stuff yet.

Ok. so last week I wasn't able to join the fun but I had been a little crafty since I made a few decorations and desserts for the 1st birthday of my friend's son. But I was to engrossed making the desserts and decors that I actually forgot to take a proper picture of it. So Here are the pictures that the husband of my other friend took during the party.

Cake pops & Marshmallow Pops

"Centerpiece for the Kids Buffet Table"

Brownie Cheesecake  (had to cut the animal toppers by had as I do not have a die cut machine, the monkey was the most tedious of all)

Chocolate Spoons

So, this week, I've been trying to get my creative mojo back and I think I got it back some how. Was too engrossed on making treat boxes and printing digital papers.  I think there are a lot more variety in digital papers than in "real" papers. PLus I don't have to buy the entire pack. Although I WANT thos papers. Unfortunately it's not readily available where I am. There are some but it's too limited. So right now digital papers works for me.

Here are some of the boxes...

Apple is upside down... made a mistake when I inserted the paper in the printer.

That's it for this week... 

[iCreate 101] Arashi Paper Dolls

     I've mentioned in my welcome post that I'm into Japanese stuff and one of them is the idol group Arashi.  Although I want to elaborate more on the band, it might take me a looooonnngggg time to finish 'coz once I start talking about them, I can't seem to stop.
     However, just to briefly introduce them, here goes...

From left to right. Kazunari Ninomiya, Jun Matsumoto, Satoshi Ohno, Sho Sakurai & Masaki Aiba

     Arashi is a Japanese idol group under the Management group Johnny & Associates. They are composed of Satoshi Ohno,  Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya & Jun Matsumoto.  They not only sing and hold concerts but they also dabble in acting. Be it in dramas, movies or stage plays.

     Ok, I'm going to stop there or it might take me forever...
     So on to my craft for the week.  I've been seeing these Arashi paper dolls mostly in tumblr and the crafter in me wanted to try it. I spent an entire night trying to look for templates and I only got hold of 1 set. But since the doll that I wanted to make wasn't part of the template that I got, I continued to search until I saw one that I liked but the template wasn't up for download... So emailed the blog author and she gladly gave me the template... AND MORE!!! now I can't wait to do all of the dolls...
     For now, here are the ones that I made...

Satoshi Doll (Truth PV series)

Sho-kun  (Solo Taboo)
