WW1 Layout



Here is a layout I have made for White with 1's May challenge.  The theme is white + black + badges or banners.  I've gone with banners...


 
 
A close up of banner number 1...




And banner number 2...




...which I made by stapling off cuts to my beloved 3mm ribbon.
The entire layout was off cuts actually, plus a handful of brads and a rub on.
Then there is the title and journaling captioning the picture - like father like son, hey?


 
 
I love doing WW1's and probably, despite my love of colour, I like the black and white combo best of all.  I did three layouts last week.  Without knowing it they all had a white background and one other colour... I had no idea I was so predictable!  I made myself do another layout with patterned paper for the background and no white to be seen anywhere!!

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... 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.   ...
