Ugly Paper...Beautiful Flowers

Are you like me and have a stack of paper that you keep looking at and think "where will I ever use that ugly paper?".

Well the other night, I had dinner with two dear friends, one of whom is my SF (scrapping friend) Sandy and the other, our sometime scrapping friend, Judy. Sandy brought with her some flowers that she had made after watching a YouTube tutorial on spiral flowers. So of course, I had to try them as well. Because I didn't know how well mine would turn out, I looked through my "ugly" papers that I wouldn't be sorry to lose if I messed things up. Last night I sat in front of the TV and cut my circles and rolled my spirals and guess what...ugly paper really does make some beautfiul flowers!

I also spritzed them with some Glimmer Mist...and tonight I may even add some Stickles...or bling... It was really fun and easy...and I got to use paper that would otherwise still be relegated to my "ugly stack".
