WW1 LO for November





The November challenge at White With 1 is White + Green + Chevrons

This is so up my street!  I love green and I've been wanting to use this ribbon chevron idea for a while now.  I had tied a bow and (because I'm a perfectionist) I trimmed the tail to the same length as the other tail and this produced a chevron.  Magic. 




I started with the photo of my Billy girl.  I added some buttons from my green button box.  A few snippets of green and white card and tissue.  A tag.  And spread the chevrons around the page.  I didn't want to journal.  I know I need to learn to but not this time.  So I just added a simple foam sticker title - Billy.




I'm really pleased with how the chevrons turned out.  What do you think?  And does the page need journalling?

Thanks for stopping by

Someone likes ths page so much she is sitting singing to it!!!

    Beautiful layout - I love all that white space, the green/white colour combination is so clean and fresh and suits the photo of your lovely budgie perfectly. The ribbon chevrons are such a clever idea. I think you were right not to add any journaling and just leave the page clean and simple. Elizabeth xx

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.   ...
