Chocolate LO!!!



The challenge at Quirky's this week is Chocolate... In fact 'Life is a quirky box of chocolates'
This may be the best challenge EVER!!

 

 
This double layout is my homage to chocolate!  I gathered up loads of chocolate stuff that I have.  Wrappers, reciepts, tasting menu, members card, chocolate covered paper, the transparency from inside a box of chocs and two different ribbons.  The frame was cut from a magazine advert for a framing company.

    I enjoyed your really different approach to the A.P.R. challenge (nice that you can double up with two challenges for the price of one). An interesting picture to examine up closely and look at everything, and the frame added that touch of luxury and glamour to it.
    I found this challenge on A.P.R. quite difficult, not being a chocolate lover, and us never being into Valentines. Still, I got there in the end.

    very cool homage. I'm jealous that you "had" to eat all that chocolate to get the labels. Lucky girl!!

    Really neat layout. I love the frame idea and the golden foil inside it. I have often thought "what could I do with that?" You showed me with great effect!

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.   ...
