Unsure...



Here is a (long time un-blogged) layout created for NSD.  The Like For Ever challenge was 'use your STASH' - so use something beginning with each letter of the word stash.


I picked Stitching, Triangles, All of the rub ons, Stickers and Handful of sequins.  I used up the rest of a sheet of rub ons and then used the backing cut in to triangles - nothing goes to waste here!


My stitching is rarely straight.  ;)

I felt the green sticker on the photo was screaming out too much being the only green in the layout so I added a few enamel dots in the same colour in a couple of places around the page.


These sequins were part of a Things That Shine kit.

And the pink floral pieces - yep, I cut up a stencil.  It was a Dear Lizzy stencil and it just wasn't up to the job.  It was too flimsy for anything other than just spraying mists through.  I like to scrape paste over stencils, this stencil was just getting bent and ruined by my heavy-handed-ness (not that I am particularly heavy handed!)  I actually really liked it used like this and contemplated buying another stencil purely to cut up!!

Overall I am really not sure I like the layout...  Constructive criticism very welcome (please!)

Thanks for stopping by

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.   ...
