Congratulations from the #Cre8time Garden... CHA Paper Arts+ Blog Hop

Hello friends! Today I am bringing you a special project from the garden at Little B® for the CHA Paper Arts+ Blog Hop. I was thrilled to be invited to design a special project for the upcoming summer show - for this project I was challenged to create something using an assortment of gorgeous and easy to assemble paper flowers and dimensional embellishments from Little B® LLC. 

Check back all week long to play along to win prizes and see sneak peeks of the latest and greatest from CHA Paper Arts+ Exhibitors and CHA Designer projects.

This basket of paper blooms will be perfect to accompany a gift card for saying congratulations to the Graduate, new Mother or job promotion! My floral bouquet is nestled in a handmade basket made of recycled chipboard, embellished with "The Sweet Life" Hot Off the Press patterned paper, Little B® LLC Black Corrogate adhesive borders and Little B® LLC "Cherry Blossoms" decorative tape. The center is filled with pink recycled packing peanuts and recycled paper crinkle filler. All I need is to add a little card to complete the gift and this bouquet can be enjoyed for the entire summer season {or more}.

The best part about this project is that it will be traveling to be on display at the CHA Paper Arts+ Show July 21-23 in Chicago... so make sure you check it out there are many handmade touches that make ready-to-assemble flowers come to life.

You can WIN $500!
