You didn't care


Finally I'm sharing the first layout from my Counterfeit Kit for February.


I've started working my way through those scraps, snippets and offcuts.  I picked out a handful of blues and teals, stacked them and played around until they looked good.

A healthy sprinkling of sequins and some machine stitching...


Not all of the stitching is in exactly the right place but most of the alphas should stay put!


And I used a load of alphas on one layout.  I would have shied away from this before, a fear of wasting them I think, but I'm pleased to have pushed past that!


And I used up a flair and a Christmas paper clip!  Yep, stars are not just for Christmas!

Linking up at The Playground.

    Oh Laura, this is really beautiful and those words are so poignant.

    I did have a wry smile about the 'no cutting machine yet' comment - I'm sorry (and I feel bad) that I just assume folk have them when I offer dies and embossing folders as prizes. There's also Lucy (she has severe ME) who doesn't have a cutting machine. In future, if either of you are picked by the random number generator I won't just move on and run it again. You'll also get a little something of your choosing. Tee, hee - of course it could be a bag of snippets :))

    Hugs

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.   ...
