Sweet lollipop (flowers that is)

I thought I would try a new-to-me challenge site this month - Candy Shoppe Designs. Why? Because they're super funky! And the prize is a kit from The Magpie Club, and you know how I'm loving them (see the post below :-)

So all you had to do for this challenge is use lollipop flowers on your creation. Easy peasy right? Here's what I did:


I cracked open some ye olde Sassafras Lass and some water-colours and went to town! Cut a bizzillion circles to make into bright colourful lollipop flowers and relied on some favourites like typewritten journalling and washi tape. I just had fun :-)


I'm still experimenting with my new sewing machine, and I haven't got everything right yet, so hence, it sometimes skips a beat. But I think I've got that problem figured out now.


Ok - I better go now. The Studio Calico reveal is about to happen any moment and I'm now a subscriber. Yay! :-)

  2. Oh my word! What a happy page! :) I actually love it when my sewing machine does those skipped stitches every now & then! It makes me remember to applaud the imperfection... (so not natural for me generally....)
    the little beads in the birds wake are a sweet touch too- and those lollipops are yummy!!!

  4. So very much fun and bright and colorful! Those lollipop flowers are amazing, and I can see how you had to cut out a ton of them! Well worth the effort in my opinion though, they add so very much to this design!
    I also went back and edited my post so thank you for reminding me! I hope it was ok to link back to your fabulous creation? (If not, please let me know?) Sorry that I missed it!
