the tiny destroyer


I've been gone a while.  I keep seeing things that I find super inspiring but I've had either no energy or other things needing to be done.  One of the many tabs left open on my web browser is 'show us your stuff' and their December sketch.  I managed to have a go this yesterday afternoon...


Pretty much the entire layout is made with like for ever kit contents.  I added some tiny stars (ebay), ribbon off cuts (Crafty Ribbons), a doily (SpiegelMomScraps).


The title is long for me - and I had no trouble getting it all out of the mini alpha tiles from Cocoa Vanilla, with loads of left overs.  Why aren't all alpha sets like this?! 


And the journalling to explain the title.  He was eleven months then... I wonder how he'll react this year...


I have real trouble using flair - not buying it though!  I was pleased to get this one on the page.


The top cluster with it's wonderful chubby star!


The doily was white.  I used some shimmerz and Derwent art bars along with a water brush.  I may have added a little Inktense in too.  I could colour doileys all day long!


Thanks for stopping by!

    The use of the small scale items on this page is perfect for the subject and makes for a really charming layout.

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.   ...
