Laura & the Long Lens


This is a layout made from the contents of my Counterfeit Kit.  (By the way I always spell Counterfeit wrong!)

Here is the title...


using some punctuation brads that have sat unused for yonks!

A close up of some layering...


I used the transparencies!!!  :)

More layering of washi and vellum etc...


Which all put together made this layout...


Very colourless by my standards but I really like it.  I must do some more subtly coloured craft soon.

Thanks for stopping by

    This is a nice layout. The background paper looks like it could be very hard to turn into a layout but it works.
    What is a "counterfeit" kit?

      Thanks :)
      A counterfeit kit is one you put together from your own stash rather than buying one! Each month the team give us a 'real' kit to get our inspiration from. Brilliant concept to help use up stash. You can find more, probably explained much more clearly, here: http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/p/overvie.html

    what a super layout - i really like the subtle neutral colours here and the long title to go with the long lens! I especially love the use of the gold vellum and the translucent elements

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.   ...
