My Little Star Twinkles



Big day!  Here is my first project for Crafty Ribbons design team...





I stamped the nursery rhyme in a band across a white 12 by 12.  Some were first impressions and some were second impressions to give variations in the intensity of the colour.




I journalled on strips edged in grey ink and outlined with fine liner.  I used the gorgeous star ribbon from the Snowmen Christmas collection.  I love the fact that you can use Christmas ribbon on a totally un-Christmassy layout.


 
 
 
I had planned to use a label from a pair of pyjamas here but it disappeared from my desk.  Vanished.  I looked everywhere but to no avail.  So I made a little pocket from organza ribbon and popped in some stars.

 



The stars move around a bit like a shaker card.  The buttons are a mixture from here and here.

I'd love to enter this in Cute Card Thursday's Starry Starry Night challenge.


Thanks for stopping by!

    Really lovely. Sometimes simple black and white does the job a real treat.

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.   ...
