It’s unusual for me to finish my challenge any earlier than the day before it’s due, but I decided yesterday was the day I was going to work on my [Flower Power](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-flower-power/20397) entry. I was on a bit of a flower/plant pressing kick last year and decided that this challenge was a great chance to make some things with the flowers I collected and preserved. I won’t say my day was without a few failures and some frustrations including having one small sheet get wrapped around the roller inside my laminator which required me to take the whole thing apart! But it was a lesson learned and I found a way to put small sheets in and protect them with a cardstock sheet supporting it. I created floral bookmarks using roses, lily of the valley, lavender, black eye Susan. phlox as well as grasses and fern fronds. Then I decided to use some of the custom paper scraps I bought without a purpose to make cards to slip into my journals, books and to give as gifts. ![20220317_151223](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/5/9/59658cc1a9eebf768010d26210bb649716ee825f.jpeg) ![20220317_151229](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/1/a1f519f7c729099ace8924ac410b80d81d5abda5.jpeg) ![20220317_151218](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/d/e/de461c01038f71571f17a2fc54b40eab6c5c880c.jpeg) ![20220317_151238](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/4/8/48abd2bb5145574f8864bd6c578dea7a90f38617.jpeg) ![20220317_151223](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/5/9/59658cc1a9eebf768010d26210bb649716ee825f.jpeg) It was a fun project that I hope qualifies for this challenge but if not, I’m still glad I made them anyway. ---

Absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait until the wild flowers start blooming. I started pressing flowers last year in the fall. My husband buys me flowers and I started drying some and pressing some. I put the pressed one’s in my book of shadows on random pages. When I am working in my BOS and come across one it puts a smile on my face! ---

Do you attach the flowers in your book or just have them loose? I’ve been wondering if I could modpodge or use another adhesive to attach them to pages, but haven’t tried yet. ---

I just have mine lose. I tuck it toward the binding part so they don’t fall out, but you could probably modpdge them onto the paper. The only reason I leave mine lose is I like to pick them up and look at them up close. ---

That’s a great idea! I’ve been tempted to permanently attach them but I’m with you, I like to be able to pick them up and look at them which is why I’ve laminated some of them 🌹 ---
