Bright & Happy for CASology




Over at CASology they set the challenges based on the word of the week.  This week we need to make a project based on Happy.  I checked if I could enter a LO instead of a card because this came to mind...







Not much more to say - This face makes me Smile - sums it up completely!  My beautiful cousinlet is such a lovely little thing and it's impossible for me not to be happy when I think of her.






I'm still obsessed with all things neon (happy colours!) so I edged my page and paper layers with neon paints and added a few splats and splodges in the background too.






I felt the page needed something in the top corner to even things out...





...so I tore and folded.






Used my Heidi Swapp letters and a couple of bracket brads.


I think this can be categorised as clean and simple, the term is kind of fuzzy in my head and different people seem to take it in different ways.  I had fun, got to play with paint and used the bracket brads that have been sitting there for ages so, all in all, a good afternoon I think!


Thank you for stopping by!
Laura

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
