Tis the season...


I've been playing with my like for ever kit and preparing for Christmas at the same time - result!  I love wrapping presents at any time of year but I always go a bit crazy at December... here are some of the presents I have wrapped so far...


The first one uses a few pieces of ephemera from the like for ever Wish List kit, a Pink Paislee paperclip, a Cocoa Vanilla bow and a peg covered with patterned paper.


Again this one uses a peg covered with patterned paper, plus some Crafty Ribbons lace, Wish List goodies and a few bits dug out from my Christmas stash.  I'd like to enter this at
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge


For this one I've grouped some ephemera from Wish List, tied with some 3mm ribbon and stuck to the parcel with a Cocoa Vanilla bow.  I'm entering this at Avenue 613.


For this I've used a strip of patterned paper around the present, a few lovely ribbons and a couple of ephemera pieces from Wish List.


This one was just me playing with paper...  It turns out I can make a bow with only a few strips of paper!  Colour me dead chuffed!

Thanks for dropping by today

    Aw - how fun Laura! To me, the wrapping and those papers are often as good as the present inside - love to keep the papers and bows and ribbons to recycle into my cards! One fun thing is include part of the wrapping into the Thank you card if it has something distinctive... like that paper die cut bow. Thank you for sharing your project and creativity at 613 Ave C!

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.   ...
