Here is the bouquet (my favorite part!). Because every bride needs a bouquet! And this one is *extremely* budget-friendly!
To make the bouquet, I stamped flowers and circles from the Build a Bouquet set and the Boho Blossoms set. Can you believe that Boho Blossoms was one of the first MFT sets I ever owned, and this is my very first time using it?! Anyhow... after I stamped them, I cut them out by hand, poked holes in them, and wired them on to 20 gauge floral wire, looping a button or two on to the centers at the same time. I then wrapped each stem (115 stems total!) in floral tape. Then, I formed them in to a nice round bouquet (the most time-consuming part, by far!), added some hand-cut and inked leaves, and wrapped the bouquet in a pretty white satin ribbon.
(PLEASE remember to click on all the pictures in the gallery or to hop on over to my blog for even more details and pictures!)

_____________________________
MFT Idol Voting Process
*All votes will be private messaged (PM'd) to the user name MFT Votes.
*All votes will be manually tabulated and announced as soon as they are counted.
*All votes will be stored for a minimum of one week in the event an audit is needed.
Your vote will count IF:
*There is only one vote per SCS User Name. If there is more than 1 vote, only the first vote will count.
*The SCS User Name casting the vote was created BEFORE March 15th, 2009.
Why the changes? We are getting down to the nitty gritty, the FINAL FOUR, with a DOUBLE elimination this week. There's a lot up for grabs, we want to make sure that the voting process is fair for everyone, and since the original intent was that the IDOL be selected by our MFT/SCS Family, we are implementing safeguards to make sure the IDOL is selected by fellow stampers!

Basically, just send a PM (Private Message) to MFT Votes between 10 pm EST May 26 and 10 pm EST May 27 with my username, and you're good to go!
