CKC Round Up



Here are the last couple of layouts from my Counterfeit Kit for January...

This is one that I like;


Simple layering of two patterned papers, a few pieces from the cut part sheet ad a glassine bag with paper bows and sequins.  I've also used the two toned ribbon because it matched the heart paper so well.  (I made need to buy another couple of sheets of the grey heart paper!!)

This layout I don't really like;


It was my take on the wonky stripe sheet in the original kit.  It's a pretty good forge but I just didn't know how to use it.  Any way, I got a lot of the turquoise alphas used up!  You can see how I altered the j's in to i's, F's in to E's and Q in to O with a turquoise and white pen.  Also one of the A's used to be a V, but you can't really tell which.  I do love to stretch my alphas!!  It pretty much says it all...






She is truly bad but she is the most beautiful bunny in the world, ever in the history of rabbits, so, you know, it kind of evens out!!


Here is what remains of the kit...


I never expect to use all the alphas so the wood grain and gold glitter thickers will go back in to the alphas box.  I mad a good dent in the word stickers.  I need to look and see if there are any I will still use, if not they will go in the kids pile.  The turquoise alphas have been stretched to their limit so the remainder will go on  nonsense journal page background.  Just one piece of patterned paper went untouched, and there is half a sheet unused.  I'm fairly pleased with how I used the bits up - I would like to have used the pink sheet but just don't have a suitable photo at the moment.  I need a run of girly photos and with the little man being my main photography subject at the moment I'm not sure where I will find them!

 Thanks for stopping by!

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.   ...
