Big Fun | Happy | Love This

I have a trio of layouts using Pretty My Page cut files today.

This first one features a Paige Evans cut file which you can buy as a pre-cut i.e. you don't need your own machine to scrap like this. PMP do the cutting, the weeding, all the hard work! This file is called Ferris Wheel.

The layout is quite simply because when you have a large file it does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I've stuck to just white and blue for this layout...

I added my colour with layers, stickers, inky splatters and alphas.

In fact, all of these layouts pretty much stick to white and blue...

This cut file is called Diagonal Stars Pocket Filler and was designed as a Christmas file to be used in a 6x8 December daily album. Well, you know I don't do what I'm meant to...

I cut it on a gorgeous watercolour print patterned paper from Cocoa Vanilla - not remotely Christmassy - at 9x12. It works perfectly at this size. I love to have versatile cut files and this is one I can see me using in many ways.

I also a twofer... the stars are totally usable on their own in either the same design or in any other way that takes your fancy.

I actually made this layout first using the main cut file as a stencil to get the stars in the right place.

Lots of sewing for this layout - just take it slow and steady and know if you make a mistake you can always cover it up with an embellishment!

The flair and the wood piece are by Cocoa Vanilla.

Thank for stopping by!

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 up in the corresponding g

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. At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm. Perhaps the less said the better! I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here . Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card. Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first. I'll swap them round after a few weeks. Do you like my domino pegs? :) Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
