Counterfeit Kit Bloghop!



Welcome to my blog!  I have the pleasure of being the 'Queen' of Counterfeit Kit Challenge this month.  It has been such fun to choose the kit and challenges.  I had tons of ideas for this month but I guessing my health is going to seriously limit the amount of projects I can complete.  My kit may well last me two months!

I'm a fan of Hey Little Magpie and they put kits together every now and then.  This kit has now sold out but here are the images from their site...





Here is the list I made of the kit - this is what I refer to when pulling my kit.  I find this easier than refering back to the actual photos - it then feels like my kit rather than a kit that is trying to be a copy, if that makes sense!


So here is my kit...



A massive mix of navy, teal, mint and pale pink papers both 12x12 and 6x6.  A fair few sheets of alphas, a bag of collected ephemera, washi, ribbons, buttons and embellishments.


I won't write too much more today as you'll want to carry on round the hop and check out the awesome kits the DT have pulled together.  Your next stop is Julene!

Hope to see you throughout the month - Happy Crafting!

    Wonderful kit counterfeiting - BETTER than the original if I may be so bold. Looking forward to seeing what happens with all that ribbon!

    Beautiful kit-both your choice for the inspiration, and your own stash kit! And a great idea to make a list-I may try that sometime!

    So thrilled with the inspiration kit you chose, and your own kit is even more majestic. Being the forgery queen suits you.

    I absolutely adore the presentation of your kit! The inspiration was so pretty but yours far eclipses it. Maggie Holmes was a great go-to for this forgery with the color scheme :D Thanks for being our queen this month, Your Majesty!

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
