Altered wedding picture frame

     Welcome to my first reveal for the Southern Girls Challenge blog! I was so excited to get started and then read my first assignment...flowers...ugh.  They are probably the one thing you will never see in any of my books, except for our wedding album.  Flowers are just not something I'm good at working  with.  Always up for a challenge though, I got down to business, and am darn pleased with what I came up with!
     DH and I will be married nine years this year, and can you believe I have not one wedding picture anywhere in our house!  I decided with this challenge to rectify that.  I got out my circle punch and got business cutting scalloped circles, inking, misting them, and making shaping into flowers.  Yes, you read that right, I made the flowers for this project. Leave me a comment if you'd like me to do a video because they are super easy, and you get great results!
     The lace I used is from Hobby Lobby, and when you are only buying a yard is quiet reasonably priced.  To bring more of our wedding colors into the frame, and add a little more pizazz, I added pearls as the center of of each lace flower.
     I hope you will join us over at the challenge blog.  I especially challenge you if you think flowers aren't you thing.  You may just surprise yourself, like I did, and love what you came up with.
