L O V E


This layout started as a card...


The L O V E squares were a card but I realised it wasn't suitable for who it was meant for, so I made another one for them, and kept this one for me!  I cut it up with the idea of making a layered grid layout inspired by Susie Fish and Meaghen Calder.


My wonderful Pet Crocheter came in handy and made a holey square for my neon gelli tag to peep through.


Those gorgeous neon confetti hearts come from Things That Shine.  A combination of paper bags, envelopes, tags, off cuts and lace tissue make up the bulk of the layering.  A few cameo cuts painted with acrylic paint, some snippets of gelli printed ribbon and washi tape made up the rest.


Oh, and gelli printed lace too!


I also used up the rest of my Heidi Swapp photo corners.  Really satisfying to use them up!

Thanks for stopping by!

    What a fun layout, Laura, and I love all the layers. Thank you for your good wishes during my hospital stay. It is great to be home again (since Tues.) and my hubby and I are learning together the new way of life with the stoma. My recovery is going well. I have loads of lovely messages to reply to and it's going to take some time! Keep an eye on my blogs for further updates as and when I am able to do them.

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.   ...
