Scraplift Swap!


I've been missing my scrappy mojo since like for ever closed.  I was messing around on Facebook when a post from Claire popped up - did anyone want to swap layouts to scraplift?  Perfect, I thought, I can scrap one of her layouts to get me going again...

Here are the results:

My original and Claire's take


Claire's original and my take


And here it is in a little more detail...


I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamp and third, fourth and fifth generation stamping.  I journalled a lot underneath the vellum heart, just writing over the top of the previous layer so none of it is legible.


The sequins are SpiegelMom Scraps Build A Snowman and the stars are Cocoa Vanilla Studio.  I was beginning to wonder if I had upset Claire as I was sewing.  I don't like hand sewing on layouts and I reinforced to myself why - I needled myself.  I'm used to sticking a needle in my finger but this time I got my boob!!!

And although I am not the world's greatest stamper I really like this stamping off effect.  I hope to be getting more use from my stamps from now on!


 As it happens the pink and blue match the Simon Says challenge so I am entering it.

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.   ...
