As much fun as scrapbookers have filling albums, they also enjoy looking outside the book. More and more, they are using the same techniques that work on scrapbook pages for cards, home decor, gift ideas and more.

Here's a project for a For Peep's Sake Butterfly Blooms Photo Holder from imaginisce:

Supplies:
axle wooden block
1 axle 9-inch 20 gauge green florist wire
White acrylic paint
2 axle pieces of Tiptoe Through Tulips paper
6 green cutout leaves from Drain' Daisy paper
10 inches polka-dot ribbon
May flower chipboard embellishments
Small, medium and large Butterfly Blooms
Assorted Polished Pebbles brads

1. Paint top and bottom edges of wood block with white acrylic paint. Adhere pieces of paper to front and back of wood block.

2. Wrap ribbon around the block and adhere in place.

3. Layer small Butterfly Blooms flower and a chipboard May Flower on ribbon and top with a Polish Pebble brad. Adhere to ribbon.

4. Layer silk Butterfly Blooms and chipboard May Flowers together and put Polished Pebble brads through layers to create three flowers. Make a small double circle with green florist wire. Adhere green florist wire to layered flowers with a hot-glue gun.

5. Cut out green leaves from paper. Place two leaves together and adhere together around the green wire.

6. Hammer three small holes in the center top of the wood block. Place a small amount of hot glue in each hole and place the three flower stems in the holes.

7. Mount pictures in double circle of florist wire.
