Me & You



Ah, it's my boys!  I love this layout, I love the photos, I love the colours, I love the boys!


I've used watercolour card for the background and mixed several different blue-green shades.  No real plan other than an end goal of watery and subtle.


The grey alphas, enamel dots and green hearts are from my stash but everything else is from my like for ever kit.


Puffy stickers from (my beloved) Cocoa Vanilla.


The clear stickers with black writing are cut up.  I didn't fancy the whole sentiments - too fancy or wordy for me - so I just trimmed off the words I wanted to use and tucked the cut edges under a paper layer.


And the black splats are with Liquitex Acrylic Ink blown with a straw.  We did this with paint as kids and I swear I enjoy it as much now as I did back then!!

Thanks for stopping by

    Hope you have a lovely day. Sue

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.   ...
