Scraplifting Rachel Lowe

It's Scraplift Week at SpiegelMom Scraps. I am loving this new tradition of lifting our guest designers. This month Rachel Lowe is guesting and I picked out this fabulous layout of hers...

I love the bird, obviously, and that is the section I focused on. You can watch me creating here:

I pulled out the same collection Rachel used, Wildflower from Kaisercraft. My sequins are a mixture of Birthdays and Balloons and some of my hoarded Glass Slippers.

I have guilt... we are nearly five sixths of the way through this little chaps first year and I still don't have even half the layouts as I had for his brother!

And it gets worse... I want to keep this layout and not pass it on to him and his lovely Mum!

I need a serious scrapathon to get an album completed by his birthday!!

You can nab the cut file I created here - if you use it I would love to see what you create. You can tag me @beadsbuttonsandbirds on Instagram or find me on Facebook here, or leave me a message and a link right here on my blog.

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...

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. ...
