Hello, and Happy International Scrapbook Day!!!  One of my favourite things to incorporate into scrapbook layouts, and cards too, are flowers! There are so many wonderful premade embellishment ones on the market…paper flowers, chipboard flowers, sticker form, fabric flowers, and so on…

Sometimes, it’s fun though, to create your own…especially when it only takes a few simple supplies, and about a minute’s worth of time. A single minute was all it took to create this fun tissue paper flower that I used as an embellishment on my layout.
