This week is sadly my last as a Guest Cupcake. I have really enjoyed my time with them.
The theme today is The Great Outdooors, things you would do ouside. Girls on swings, Boys on bikes, Gardening, Golf are just a few to mention.
Now every gardener needs a trug so I rounded up a few things and a bit of cutting, gluing,sticking and string threading later we have one trug.
Next I really needed to do a bit of tidying up as I'm sure this should not all be here!
A lot of cutting and pruning later and I managed to find Roses, Asters, Carnations and Chrysanthemums to fill my trug with.
Whilst the Roses and Carnations were my own designs using spellbinders dies I drew inspiration from the following tutorials to make the Asters and Chrysanthemums which
you can find here and here.
The team have been busy as usual creating some gorgeous designs so please pop over to
Cupcake Craft Challenges to see what they have been up to. You are very welcome to join in the challenge and upload your craftiness for all to see.
My thanks to the Cupcake Design Team for having me on board this past month.
As I have used up loads of bits of this and that from my stash I am again playing over at
Pixies Crafty Wokshop in Crafty Snippets #31.

Those flowers are fantastic. You're very talented!
I can add another UK word to my list as I'd never heard of a "trug" before. I think we would say basket. Those flowers? Wow, Mrs. A., this much I know: your talent rocks!!
Fantastic Trug and Flowers. I saw these on MIM..Loz
Wow, Mrs. A! You sure do know how to think outside of the box (or in this case - the trug). Fabulous 3D interpretation of the theme and that bouquet of flowers in the vase would brighten up anyone's living space! Super clever! Super pretty! Hugs, Lesley
This is beautiful! LOVE the bouquet of flowers!!
You are amazing!
Thanks for sharing your project at Make it Monday Challenge

Your trug and flowers are absolutely gorgeous Mrs A! So colourful and long lasting, as well as clearing some space in your Snippets box. Wow! I want to get on with my watering can project! Too much to do and work gets in the way. Perhaps if I think hard enough Catriona could do some work for me when I am out!
By the way, please do not let Catriona anywhere near the Duck Pond or her dress will get splashed! I hear you are creating a diving board! Hee Hee! Off to find some chocolate now!
