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!

    Hope you've had a good start to the week.

    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.

    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!

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to

A Poe Quote

So I've been trying out art journalling for a while but had nothing that I wanted to share, until now. I was inspired by The Bears Challenge and picked this quote to base my page on. "If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered" I got some paints out, some spray mists too.  I used my fan brush, my fingers and a cotton rag.  I got messy, satisfyingly messy :) The letters are some old letraset vinyls that were my Aunt's.  When we cleared my Grandparents house I couldn't stand the art goodies to go to waste.  I saved them because I knew one day I would find a use for them.  They must be 40 years old but are still perfect.  (I sometimes look at things I get today and think they won't still be good in 5 years let alone 40!) I don't have the complete alphabet so there are some adaptations... c's became o's, E's became t's, w's became m's.  I magicked a k from a P!  Some
