My Little Penguin


Aww!  My little nephew came to see us dressed in a penguin babygrow - he looked just the sweetest little thing!  Of course, this needed scrapping...


I really wanted to use the 'reasons why today was awesome' card so my original idea of black, white and yellow switched to grey, white and yellow.  The black was probably a little too harsh for a baby layout anyway.  I wrapped my background card with some white fibre tissue adhering it at the back.  I coloured up some seam binding and papermania alphas to get the right shade of egg yolk yellow (surely that should be penguin yellow, no?!)



I added in all the penguin-y things from my stash which included a paper clip and penguin ribbon.

I'm so pleased with how this turned out - it really makes me smile!

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.   ...
