BRAVE


This was made for NSD weekend.  As normal my ideas and my health had a little conflict and I'm only posting it now four days later.  Anyhoo...

This little layout is a good fit for a number of challenges...


Number one - use ribbon on a layout - join us at SpiegelMom Scraps for loads more challenges!  (made as an example, not entered as I am DT)

Number two - No Patterned Paper - join us at For The Love Of Pretty Paper for more!  (made as an example as an invited guest challenge setter, not entered)

Number three - Show Us Your Stuff - hearts, poetry + the handmade embellishment.  (entered here please!!)


I'll quickly run you through my handmade element...  prize ribbon rosettes made from a snippet of multi coloured Swiss Dot organza ribbon and a button, all held together with a stitch or two.  My supplies were from Crafty Ribbons.


My hearts came in the form of tiny stickers sprinkled around like confetti.  And my journalling is in poem form:

One puff,
then count to ten.
One more puff,
and to ten again.
Such a good boy.

Documenting my nephew and his inhaler.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed the NSD celebrations.  I have a few more layouts to blog over the next few days - stand by!!

    What a sweet page - the lightness of it is wonderful, and the scrapping so clever and eye-catching.

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.   ...
