Out Of Season


It's taken my a few days to clear my desk, lots of rests, lots of procrastinating, lots of lectures - I do not need any more stuff!  It's not nearly clear or tidy but it is so much better and I needed to create.  So, here is a layout I made with the sweepings of my desk!



I made it with Show Us Your Stuff's challenge in mind - no people plus a handmade embellishment.



I've used bits from Elle's Studio, Cocoa Vanilla, Like For Ever, Pretty Pink Posh and Crafty Ribbons.



This tissue paper was the wrapping of a LFE kit that I used to mop up spare ink.

My handmade element is a cocktail stick flag made with the Summer Festival Message ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.



The pink enamel dots are from Cocoa Vanilla and really are the perfect shade of baby pink.  I can't really tell you where all the other little bits and bobs come from, other than on my desk top!

Thanks for stopping by today

    Gorgeous layout Laura! I love your use of the grid design and the soft, pretty layers you have incorporated into it. (Especially when I spied that Cocoa Vanilla paper from Hello Lovely - although I might be a bit biased there! hehe) Thanks for playing along with us at SUYS! :)

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.   ...
