Homemade flowers are my choice. Nothing better than taking the time to make your own custom embellishments.

What a wonderful giveaway! I'd love to have a copy of this magazine! I actually like using both pre-made and homemade flowers but I would have to say that I use more pre-made ones on my layouts. Thanks for the chance to win.

I prefer premade mainly for the convenience. When time allows I have made a couple homemade flowers.

I use both...but it is nice to be able to make flowers that match your LO perfectly instead of hunting through your stash trying to find the perfect blossoms!

I like both however I prefer to make my own, there are so many you can make and it makes your creation even more handmade.

I surely prefer to use homemade flowers; especially quilled roses.

I love flowers as embellishments. They are my absolute favorites. As to which I like to use pre-made or hand made, that depends on how much time I have. I prefer to make my own flowers but using pre-made ones when time is tight has always been wonderful too. Thanks for the chance. I'd love to find new tricks and tips for making my own flowers.

I think a crafter should make their own embellishments.

Pre-made flowers can be really pretty but I enjoy making my own. It helps use up all my little scraps & they match the rest of my projects perfectly :)

I use both but I prefer homemade. I just like the look, plus it's easy to match them to your layout.

Melissa Kaye · 724 weeks ago

I combine homemade and premade. I buy white flowers in all shapes and sizes and then customize them to work on my layouts. It gives me the opportunity to be creative and have fun making the flowers, while saving some of my scrappy time by already having the base of the flower there.

Thanks for the giveaway!
