Hello.


Here is an un-blogged layout from last year.  The main supplies were a winners prize.  I also used a 'HELLO.' packing tag from Cocoa Daisy, a snippet-y cut off strip and a paper envelope.


The journalling is safely tucked away in the envelope.  I'm really enjoying working with grey at the moment.  It's proving to be inspiring for me, and I wouldn't have thought I would say that!


And of course that little face on the photo is always inspiring!  Love him.  He is one today - how did that happen?!

Linking up at The Playground

Thanks for stopping by!

    Lovely LO. What a cutie. He's going to break a few hearts when he's older.

    Hope you have a good start to the week. Sue

    Laura, I saw your pretty layout highlighted over at Pixie's Snippet Playground and popped over for a closer look. I don't work with gray much either, but it's so effective on this piece. It allowed the delightful photo of this cute little fella to take center stage. Loved all the different patterns & shades of grays that add so much texture & visual dimension. And of course the sweet colored hearts! Well done, and TFS

    Hi Laura, I love this layout. I would not have thought of using a grey/black/white combination for a baby photo but it works beautifully on your page - very effective! Elizabeth xx

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

Dinosaurs | The Best Stamp Sets Ever?

Every once in a while a stamp set comes along that just steals your heart.  For me, Pretty Pink Posh's Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions have done just that. They are sets I have used for design team work for My Perfect Stamp over and over again.  I have the matching dies too which has opened up the possibility of even more ways to use them. I have heat embossed... made cards... Stamped and coloured with copic markers... scrapped... and even made a wreath which has proudly hung on my door for months now... And the thing that gets me is every time I pull it out I am flooded with ideas - still now, months after its release and at least 15+ projects in

Cards | Colour Throwdown 757

  A trio of 'congratulations on passing your driving test' cards.  Why a trio?  Hmm, I do only need one but I figure if I'm playing with this many stamps I may as well stamp multiples!   I would not want to do this type of project without a MISTI.  Mind you, I don't really enjoy any form of stamping without a MISTI these days.  It's such a good tool and a must have in my craft room. I started off going through my stamp sets and pulling out anything positive and congratulatory.  I also threw in a Vrooom! and a Beep! for good measure! I arranged them in my MISTI, snuggling them together in a pleasing way with as few gaps as possible.  Gaps don't matter all that much as it's easy to go back and fill the in with a second phase of stamping. I picked my inks based on this week's Colour Throwdown challenge.  To mix things up I did one background with ombre stamping. I pulled out a few dies from my stash... I wanted to pop up a section or panel of the backgrou
