The Only Thing...

Gosh this year has flown.
The christmas countdown is almost here...
and this quote will be the last for 2016.
That's because at Mia Bella Passions over the coming month 
- you guessed it - 
it will be all about Christmas.
I have saved the best for last...
well I think so anyway.
This quote is my 'absolute all time fav'.
It is so romantic and it's so me.



The only thing I am guilty of is loving in floods not raindrops.

Words shared with a beautiful raindrops on flowers image.

Enjoy.

Deconstructed Framed Paper Flower...


The 'Deconstructed Framed Paper flower is incredibly easy to create.
It's a super handcrafted gift idea.

To make you will need:
An old music sheet
A sheet of pretty craft paper.
A cd to use as a circle guide.
A box type frame that is sized 9 x 7 inches
Craft Glue
Pen & scissors

Step One:  Place cd on the music sheet and draw a circle.

Cut out the circle.

Cut a spiral as shown.

In pen draw wavy edges on the outer edge of the cut spiral.
Cut them out. 

Step Two: Cut the pretty craft paper to fit the inside of the frame.
Use the frames mat as a guide.

Step Three:  Manipulate the music sheet swirl into flower shape.
Then let it deconstruct.
Place onto your craft paper that has been cut to the frame size,
and glue in about three spots to hold it in place.
It will have a 3 dimensional look.

Step Four: Place in the frame (without the mat)

I love the soft neutral and pastel colours...
lovingly crafted... 
Now that's a special thing to gift.

DIY Jar Of Roses Bookend...

DIY Bookend
This DIY 'Jar Of Roses'  Bookend is super simple to make...

And the perfect solution to the 'book slide' shelf problem.

 You will need some artificial roses in the colour of your choice.
I chose pink because the moth artwork on the shelf above has pink in it.

 You will need a jar.
I used a square storage jar from Briscoes.
It is a 946ml one and really heavy.
They are $19.99 full price, but I waited until they were on sale and of course got a bargain.  :)

                     Arabella (The Mia Bella Passions Blog creation inspector) had to approve!
 You may proceed!

 Next I found some old brooches and bits.

 And placed one bling pretty in the front panel of the jar.
To hide the plastic seal on the lid, 
I tied a pink gauze ribbon into a small bow.

 The weight of the jar holds the books upright.
Hooray - no more book slide!
The 'Jar Of Roses' Bookend looks super pretty too...
pink and bling - what more could a girl want?
