1000!

There is a contest running at Counterfeit Kit Challenge... Here are the details:

 
1.  Create a Counterfeit PAGE Kit of your own, based on a current kit (could be a kit club, digital kit or paper collection)
2.  Make up a challenge and create a project based on that challenge.
3.  Share both the inspiration kit & your kit, your challenge, and your project on your blog. E-mail us the link to counterfeitkitchallenge@yahoo.com

I found this Bellaboo kit

Spring Jubilee May Kit

 I see butterflies, birds, white letters, soft pretty ribbons and bunting.

This is the kit I have pulled... I've swapped the dominant colour from pink to the citrus shades.  4 sheets of 6x6 (Maggie Holmes and Prima Free Spirit), brads, paper clip, eyelets, white 12x12, lace and ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, glitzy white alphas (which I've just discovered didn't make it in to any of the photos).




My challenge is to use eyelets.  I have a few packs.  I never use them.  I've even put them in to kits I've made and still not used them!  This time will be different...

Here are some details...


And here is the layout;


What do you think?  How do you use your eyelets?

Thanks for stopping by!

  7. Well done on a lovely page kit and a great challenge. It made me smile that you chose a Bellaboo kit! I used to be on the DT back in the early days 2007-2009 when my sister was the first owner! Small world. Great use of those pesky eyelets. I have to admit that I threw all mine out rather than find a way to use them.

  14. Pretty kit and very clever way to use the eyelets! I seldom use eyelets, I always seem to use them in "dated" ways. Your technique is very current. Love it!

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.   ...

Feathered Friends

A few feathered smiles for today! I love this little chicks tatty tail.  I can imagine it was packed in the nest and the long tail feathers got in the way a bit!! And our handsome robin... Two smiles for your Friday - Linking up at Friday Smiles :)
