TODAY LAURA


I'm back with the second layout from 'What's going on Vivienne?' my counterfeit kit for June.


This one uses my forged patterned papers.


Unfortunately they took too much away from the photo so I layered some vellum over them to push them back a little bit.

I seem to have gone all out with the embellishments.  It's not usually my style...


I've used some Evalicious stickers and wood, some wood stars from a pocket pal (I love being a Like For Ever subscriber!) a sprinkling of sequins and a few other bits that were on my desk.


I have some white and gold label stickers that I have tucked in here and there.


And a flair, also from Evalicious I think.  I love to buy flair but find it quite hard to actually use them!  I'm not allowing myself to buy or acquire any more until I have made a big dent in my current stash.

Here is a look at the remains of the kit...


Not much left.  The tissue will go in to my tissue bag.  It was headed there after my birthday but I thought it matched the kit so well that I added it.  There was a certain element of 'if I add it to the kit I won't have to put it away now' but it did add to the kit nicely.  I'm going to go and put it in it's rightful place now before I procrastinate any further!

Thanks for stopping by!!

  11. Love your style, woman! Studying your selfie revealed a few things about you - you've got a scrummy textured sweater, a great manicure & you appear to be parked out in the country. Scrappy highlights include the genius move of using the vellum to tame the papers, stitched arrow (l-o-v-e), & your spatterings of happy shiny bits. A fave!

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

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 up in the corresponding g

DMIO: Teach Me Something

A few weeks back I made a dream catcher.  A few readers asked if I could show them how I made it, so, here is my attempt at a tutorial! First up weaving the web. 1. You'll need a hoop and some ribbon/thread/yarn on a bobbin. 2. Attach the ribbon securely to your hoop. 3. Take your ribbon over the top of the hoop... 4. and up through the loop you've just made with the ribbon... 5. so you have a cross over. 6. Continue steps 3-5 until you reach the knot. 7. Now instead of going over the hoop you will crossover the ribbon 8. and through the loop you've just made to give a crossover. Continue on in this fashion until you get to the middle. You need to leave a hole in the middle as this is where the good dreams get through!  They then run down the tassels/feathers/any other hanging decoration and on to the owner.  It should look something like this.  You'll need to play around with your tension until you get a firm web. Now for the tassels - I like to
