Mini Wedding Album

 
 
This fortnight the challenge at Crafty Ribbons Challenge is to 'use tags'
 
This is a little tag album to celebrate my friends wedding.  It was just the happiest day...
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
saddle stitch ribbon
 

 
 
The R's are cut down from N's!  :)
 

 
 
Part of the order of service.
 

 
 
diamantes...
 
 
 
 
Sunflowers were the flower of choice...
 

 
 
And they were blessed with a beautiful sunny day with endless blue skies.
 



 
 
Lots of pictures because there are lots of tags!!
 

 
 
My Ashley Calder-esque tag (I love her use of paper confetti)
 

 
 
Sheer swiss dots
 

 
 
Candy saddle stitch
 

 
 
So frustrating when a jigsaw is missing a piece - you can't really give incomplete puzzles to the charity shop so I have found another use for the pieces!  :)
 

 

 
 
Loopy cord...
 





And more of the order of service.


 
 
And then created a little box to keep it in...
 

 

...bedded down on tissue


 
 
A cluster of embellies with a small snatch of the reading from the service. 


 
And these R's are created from H's!!  :)

I'm going to enter this into Crafters Cafe Blog Challenge 11 - Tags
and Simon Says - Favourites (vellum, ribbons, flowers and butterflies!  Oh and green too!)
and Love to Create - Anything Goes

What do you think?  Hope the bride and groom like it...
[The bride was very pleased, and proud to be the only person to have one!]

Thanks for stopping by  :)

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...

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.   ...
