The Creative Crafters in September

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made a stencil to make a beautiful flower as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I wanted to use a small piece of colored paper to make a gumball machine because the colors were so beautiful and shiny.  I have no idea where they came from, but I had to use them. Success!

I received the "Hello" sentiment from Linda, my fellow Die Cut Divas friend.  It came at the perfect time when I was looking for a sentiment to fit beside the gumball machine.

Supplies:
Pink and Main Gumball Machine Dies
Scrap paper for the gumball machine
Waffle Flower Seasons's Greetings pattern paper
Vagabond die cut machine

I'm entering the following Challenges:
Creative Fingers - "Always Anything Goes"
NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff) (gumball die)
