Beautiful To Me


I'm down to the last pieces in my January Counterfeit Kit.  The circular patterned paper, I like it but I was finding it hard to use, so I cut it all up!!


I added a sheet of kraft to my kit - the white background just wasn't working for me.


I arranged my circles to cascade down the side of the page and then tried to fit as many of the embellishments on as I could!  When I thought I had finished I threw a handful of gems at the page for good measure!


I'm not sure this is my style.  I suppose it is still a simple layout - there is a large percentage of white space (or kraft space!!) but it feels different for me.  I like it.  I like that the paper pushed me too.

Thanks for stopping by

    I love the way that you decided to use the circle paper, (I had to go back and look at your kit). The circles look great with the craft background and it works well with the natural setting of the chickens. Such a creative and great page...love the hanging birds too!

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.   ...
