Grandmothers...


Here are a couple of layouts made with the wonderful Like For Ever March kit.

My one remaining grandparent has been a little poorly recently and it has made me all sentimental.  I pulled out photos of all of my grandparents to scrap.  Ladies first...

The first is made entirely from the kits contents.


Wonkily cut mustard paper - that way on purpose!


Buttons always remind me of my Grandmothers!  There were a good handful of buttons with the kit :)


I fashioned the sequins and a button with offcuts of lace and tulle in to a little rosette and added it along with a party hat die cut to a glittered tag.



Doesn't the lace tape look gorgeous?!

The second layout was done with Mrs A's Butterfly challenge in mind.  I've added 2 rolls of washi tape and some wood butterflies from That Craft Place to the kit contents.  I felt the black alphas from the kit were too harsh so switched to brown and mustard from my stash.


Washi tape corners, sequin and button flowers, laser cut butterflies...


along with some stunning papers... (Look!  I'm not hoarding them!!)


I am in love with the big gold paperclips and wood butterflies!

So three layouts in and I am SO happy I subscribed to LFE!!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Wonderful layouts. I love it when I do layouts and they make me remember times and the fun people in our lives. I made some here while back for my son and daughter as they were growing up. Oh those fun memories just made me smile.

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.   ...
