Dream Big | Love Me Granny | Teddy's Travels


Another trio of recent layouts...


I've had my Minc out and been playing with the reactive mist.  It's not a fine mist, it rather squirts out, but the effect when it is foiled is amazing.


I'm trying to make a dent in my puffy stickers.  I bought several packs of hearts and stars and really haven't used them to their best.  I still struggle putting lots of something on one layout, presumably because of the expense or not wanting to waste them.  The thing is neither of these arguments hold up if they sit in a box and don't get used at all!


 Ditto the above replacing puffy stickers with flair!


Love me some layers!  Just small ones though so we don't cover up too much of the foiling!


This layout started off with the blue background but I couldn't work it...


With 5 photos too much of the foiling was covered however I shuffled the photos and laid them out.


So I switched to a white background and was much happier with how it looked.


Adding a few ribbon loops.


Another flair...


And this last one is A4 sized.  I'm mixing it up a bit more this year, working all the sizes and pocket pages.


Loving the pentagons... they don't get much publicity, you know, always getting overlooked for squares or hexagons!  Haha!


Keeping my colours very simple - white, blue and coral.  They work well with the colours in the photos.


Adding a little mixed media under the main cluster. The journalling will be added later i.e. I don't know the details.  I do know teddy had a good weekend though!


Thanks for looking!

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.   ...
