Explodes in to Giggles


Today I'm sharing a fun layout I made using the contents of my counterfeit kit What's going on Vivienne?


(Yes, we are ignoring the brown ink smudge on the far left of the page.  Grr!!)

I used this forge/experiment as my base...


which is off cuts thrown on to a patch of wet matte gel, and then squirted with iridescent mist.

And I let the journalling cascade down the page, following the mist drips...


I'm not a great journaller.  I've done courses and tried different things, but I just don't think I'll ever be one whose words flow.  It will always be hard for me.  This piece of journalling though, it's perfect to me.  It says exactly what was happening.  I hope I never forget the sound of his laughter.


I used pretty much all the kit leftovers in my layering.  I tried for a two layout kit and I got it pretty much spot on.  (This is the second layout I made but I'm sharing it first, just to confuse things!)  Of course there is a lot of tissue left and I will put that back away in my stash, but paper wise - I'm a happy bunny!


A close up of the shimmer, as the other photos don't quite do it justice!

Incidentally, this also fits challenge 3 but this is a complete fluke as I made it before the challenge was announced!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Such a cool LO! I love the explosion of paper bits and the drips and again, all the layers.

    The page, without the photo, is so delightful!
    The enigmatic photo just drew me in, and as I read the story, it made the photo come alive :-)

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.   ...
