Kitchen Fairy


One of my goals for 2015 is to pick one hoarded product each month and use it up completely.  This month it is the turn of a packet of Maya Road rub ons.  They were one of the first things I bought when I started scrapbooking so we are talking years of hoarding them.


I used the rub ons on a background, randomly placing them in an L shape, with the Sketchabilities sketch number 133 in mind.


I then watered down my neon acrylic paints and used them as if they were watercolours.  I added a good amoint of splatters - partly because I got carried away having fun!

I added some neon 3mm ribbon tabs (from Crafty Ribbons of course!) under my photo, and added Heidi Swapp photo corners.  Then I was ready for my title/journalling...


I typed up "on tiptoes and a stool the kitchen fairy helps to wash up" using neon tape in my Dymo machine.  I loath this tape!  It  will  not  stick!  It is self adhesive and I've tried three different extra glues - any tips?  Every now and then I hear a ping from my shelf and 'the' or 'to' has flown across the desk!

Thanks for dropping by!

    This is such an adorable page and reminds me of when my girls were this small. I must take a leaf out of your book and use up my old stash as I am running out of room to store the lovely new goodies that are always so tempting! I have the same problem with the Dymo strips and I found the extra strong double-sided tape works quite well. Here is a link to the one I use. xx http://www.cuttingedgecrafts.co.uk/cart.php?target=product&product_id=31904&category_id=510

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.   ...
