Scrappy Sunday #9 at Like For Ever was to take inspiration from one of your scrap crushes and retain 1 colour and 3 design elements from their layout.

This is a lift of Vickie... her layout was, in my eyes, perfect.  Mine is not.  Maybe because I started out with Vickie's beautiful black white and red in my mind I became disappointed with the blue on my version...  I'm not sure.  Let me take you through it;


Perhaps it is the black swiss crosses are too bold...

I knicked the layout, the gold, and the black white and one other colour scheme from Vickie.


The gold alphas are from a Like For Ever kit months back.  I only have a G and an O left now... pretty impressed with that!  I use an anagram finder, add the letters I have remaining and it generates words for me.


The journalling and "quotes" are pretty self explanatory.  Nephy Dude says NO.  A lot!

I love the gold glitter stickers... they were an add on to this months Like For Ever kit.  I've used the circles but cut them in half.  I'm a bit stingy, there are plenty of them but they are just so lovely I want to keep them for ever!
The black washi is nice, but I'm not sure how often I'm going to be able to use it.

    Oh wow! I love your take on the layout Laura! The black, white and blue with the gold is a really classy combination and works wonderfully with your photo. I'm going to have to give that combo a go myself.

    Thank you so much for sharing my layout and for your kind words too. Vx

      http://wordsolver.net/#! This is the one I use purely because it was the first one to come up when I searched Google! Definitely worth using to extend your alphas x

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.   ...
