Hi there!  It is new challenge day at Crafty Ribbons today and our theme is Anything Goes with Ribbon.  I have gone with a 12x12 layout...


The supplies are from my like for ever kit, flair from Hey Little Magpie and ribbon, of course, from Crafty Ribbons!


I went with the squares frames to qualify me for Challenge YOUrself whose theme is geometric.  I seem to have quite a collection of circles too with all the Swiss dots!


I had some fun with my gelatos on the background - I really have taken a shine to them now!


You can watch my process here:



Thanks for stopping by!

    I love that you topped that messy background with those orderly frames. It appeals to my logical brain, yet it is delightfully artistic. Fabulous job.

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.

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.   ...
