UK Scrappers Blog Hop


Welcome to the UKS Spring BlogHop! I hope you are all enjoying some lovely spring weather. You may have come to me from JimJams blog and her stunning mini book.
If you lose your way, or have dropped in on me directly and want to follow the hop, you can see the full list with all the links here.

ETA Remember to comment on each blog and then go back to UKS and comment there to be in with a chance of winning a £25 voucher, I am offering a vine for commetners on this blog. It is important that you include your UKScrappers name in your comment.
 
I have created a page with some handmade flowers, I was inspired by the beautiful Prima branches, as usual I looked at them and thought I bet I could make those. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use a lot on a layout, using your existing stash of papers and punches can be very cost effective.

 and the details
 
 
To continue with the hop you need to go to Leanie, enjoy your journey.

 ETA: thank you to the response about the vine. I have decided to offer a vine to one person who comments on this post, is a follower and has taken part in the blog hop. I will at some time create a tutorial, so come back regularly to find it.
Please comment using your UKScrapper name to be in with a chance of winning.

Your flowers are stunning. I really like the vines and I think I might have that leaf punch, is it an x-cut one?

You must share some step by steps for your flowers.

Thank you so much for sharing

You've made a stunning layout, Kathy - everything is gorgeous! I love how you've made your own vines and flowers - it is true you don't mind buying as a one-off, but so much more satisfying to make it yourself and to your own spec!
Gorgeous.

I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued
