With three girls in the house we go through LOTS of this!......... YES—toilet paper tubes, they are just the right size for this project. All you do is flatten, wrap with your choice of paper, punch holes, add eyelets, then decorate. Hold them together with the little metal rings, make tags that fit into the “pockets”, decorate, and enjoy!

The inspiration for my project came from all of the buzz about letters at the Yahoo Quillers group, and at Ann Martin’s blog “All Things Paper”. I decided to do my letters differently. First I cut the word DAD out of the dark green cardstock. Next I carefully glued the quilling strips around the letters to edge them, and then I added the quilled elements. I folded the aperture card so that the four openings were inside so I could use it as a picture frame. The cupcakes did cost $5.00 each, but they were good!! Pillow Gift Box: This last project was also from recycled material… it started life as the box from my current favorite cereal -- MMMM! These boxes are great for a small gift or a gift card, and they can be made in whatever size you need. A wonderful way to keep some of that out of the landfill and have the perfect wrap for your gift! I have also seen the cardboard product boxes that already have a “window” in them… hose would be really cool to use also.

The shaped, quilled ivy leaves made from the darker strips, are adhered to a wrapped green floral wire, then the wire was bent and trailed on the tea light, and spiral tendrils were added. I love wisteria and since it also is ivy-like, I quilled teardrop shapes and adhered them onto a coil of the green wire, also to get the shape of the draping flowers. The wisteria leaves are made from the lighter green strips in the kit and are marquises made from crimped strips. Next I added a light purple fringe flower and punched accent flowers for a bright, summery garden project.

Their yellow centers were accented with orange seed beads. Then I added punched violets for contrast which made the green zinnias pop. The base of the page was another of the beautiful greens from the kit, and is a nice frame for the flowers. Ivy Napkin Rings: Since the kit features green this month I also included a “green” project. I save different alterable and recyclable items to make projects from. I saw these cardboard tubes and decided that they would be just right for napkin rings. The ivy designer paper in the kit was perfect to cover the tubes. I inked the sides and ends with a medium green ink pad. Ivy was again used, but with a different ivy leaf of three teardrop/marquise shapes made from the darker green strips. The pieces of ivy were made as in the tea light, and were perfect frames for the eccentric circle and fringe flowers. I will set these on my table to adorn matching napkins.

Well, Kermit did not know about the June monthly kit from Custom Quilling! For me green was not only the color for this month, but also the theme—RECYCLE. My projects are all done with recycled items I found around the house. “Green” was easy with ALL (lots!) of the beautiful green papers, quilling strips, stickers and buttons. There was soooo much, I was unable to use everything; LEFTOVERS for another day! Remember….all greens go together, just ask Mother Nature! Sonya The greens for this month inspired the garden theme of my projects and it was so hard to keep to just these three. There are generous amounts of green quilling strips, card stock, and designer papers to create beautiful projects. I have a card in mind to make with the cute window cutouts and great ivy theme stickers. The monthly kits are a great way to build up your stash of supplies to use and combine for many projects to come. Happenings at CQ The summer shipping schedule has been established.

CQ received this note from Cringuta Campbell: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and support with my previous orders. I received my packages within just a couple of days. I am proud to say that I won the first prize in the beginners framed quilled competition. [NAQG] As I only started quilling in December last year, this was the first competition I ever entered and I still think that I am dreaming.
