So it would seem I'm leaning towards layouts that are heavy on one side with lots of white space on the opposite side at the moment.  Without realising it, I have made my last three layouts to this general rule - photos, words, embellishments on one third of the page and nothing in the other two thirds.

I've also been following the No Scrapbooking Police blog series about and I can tell you it is brilliant - if you scrap, read these posts and be freed!

So I'm completely OK with the amount of white space I'm leaving - I know it isn't 'in' or 'on trend' but I'm just doing my thing.



On to the layout; I've used supplies from my counterfeit kit, and taken inspiration from Ashley Calder and Scrap Your Scraps' challenge.  They challenge you to make a project based on something you've pinned on Pinterest.  I pinned this image...

decorative-clips-1

 of cute altered paper clips.  I have approximately 6000 paper clips but apparently only one is gold coloured.  If I'd had a choice I might have gone for the more conventional rounded shape rather than the square end...


I figured that as I had put so many alphas in my kit I'd be fine to do a super long title.  As it is mixed font I didn't think it needed any other embellishment besides the paper clip.  What do you think?


Thanks for stopping by!

    I love this layout, Laura! White space is definitely trendy-I think it's a trend that is here to stay! Beautiful color scheme and embellished paper clip. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    Great page!! I love your mix of alphas, just brilliant. I think your altered paperclip is a great addition to the page, what a fun way to add something unique to a layout!

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.   ...
