ENCOURAGING WORDS twenty sixteen


Late in December I decided I would have a weekly project that I could add to through out the year.  (I then discovered the Craft Barn were running their A-Z again, typical!)  It will not be a pressure project and if I miss a week and do two the next it really doesn't matter.


I've had a Amy Tangerine journal in my stash waiting to be used so I decided this would be my base.  I've given each page a generous coat of gesso so it's ready to go!  I've also had a slight hankering to have a go at Bible Journalling for a while, so this project is going to include that in a round about way too.

Here you can see me working on the front cover and first page...



And here are the few pages I've completed so far...


The stars below are gelato and a baby wipe through a stencil.  I need to play a little more but I am loving the gelatos so far - top Christmas present!


The first page uses Shimmerz Dazzlerz which are a beautifully shiny texture paste.  You can get your hands on some at SpiegelMomScraps.com  If you quote Laura15 at the checkout you can get 15% off 


Thanks for stopping by!

    Fabulous pages. It's good to have no pressure projects to work, they make the process so much more enjoyable and give you the chance to experiment.

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.   ...
