Peek-A-Boo! & GO

Two layouts from my Feruary Counterfeit Kit.  The photography is not great as I have the shakes and the light is poor.  This is not a great combination for photography!!

Peek-A-Boo isn't finished...


I need to add a title and possibly 3d embellishments but can't get it right.  I'll put it in my UFO box and visit it again in a month...


I used a good amount of die cuts and bits from the ephemera pack in my kit.  And the other piece of printed acetate.  Perhaps because I have used the acetate I had high hopes for the layout, and that is why I am struggling?


I am loving the vellum bits that seem to be appearing in all the ephemera packs.  Love my vellum!

GO is the second layout...


You could make a sketch of the first layout, flip it and you have this layout.  Totally unintentional!  Also rotate it again and you have the layout I intend to share on the last day of the month.  It seems I have struck upon something I like!


I've used an Evalicious puffy sticker that I had been hoarding.  Big tick for me!

Thanks for stopping by!  (and any advice on finishing the first layout hugely welcome..!)

  1. Such wonderful bits and pieces cascading! I love the monochromatic arrangement, and the colorful stars with the white background. Great pages!

  2. Love the idea of the borders of bits in the center of the paper. Very cool.

  4. (Must go back & look at all your pages this month - always a treat)

    I love that empty field of stars on Peek-a-Boo. Maybe some stars stamped on the left side background?
    The kind that gets stamped 4-5 times so that it is fading away... just a thought

    Love that your brain has made it's own master sketch & is just going to town with it!
    Creativity is SO interesting & fun :-)

  5. I love the idea of layering up all of the leftover bits like you did here! Awesome pages!

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

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

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
