Shabby chic altered canvas

Well last night i started my very first chabby chic altered canvas. I have done an altered canvas once before but nothing like this! I am loving this! I am still not finished i am needing some flowers and other things to finish it, but i still have a month to finish it. this is what i got so far...

 
Isn't it pretty! I so wish i could just keep it! but i have to be fair to my partner. :( Whomever she is. What new crafty adventurs have you had? Anything worth sharing? It might give me something new to try.

easy handmade butterflies

 

Here is my simple no fail tutorial on how to make your own butterflies... are you ready? ok here we go...

First get you some 5 petal flowers, these can be made with paper or material such as silk. it will all work out the same.

use your scissors to cut out one petal by cutting on either side of that petal to the center of the flower.

add some small beads or a mini clothespin to the center and there ya go! your own handmade butterfly!
