Using Burlap

For the Practical Scrappers10 things post this week, we found ways to use burlap on our projects.  I had found burlap letter stickers as well as some adorable flower embellishments with burlap leaves.

This is what I ended up with...

The frame was made by tracing hexagons on the background paper.  The paper behind the title and the seed packet paper are both from October Afternoon's Farm Girl line.

I love my final product!

Thanks for taking time to look!

Hexagon Card

Hexagons are a popular trend in the scrapbooking world right now and Practical Scrappers challenged me to use them on a project this week.  

I chose to make a flower out of hexagons that I cut with my Cricut Expression and Accent Essentials cartridge.  The hexagons are actually cut with 5 hexagons inside one another but I only used two of the five pieces to create these flower petals.

I also used a hexagon embossing folder and my Cuttlebug to emboss the craft background.  I then added stitching to the design to make it stand out.

Thanks for looking!  I hope I have inspired you to use hexagons somewhere in one or two of your projects!
