Semi Final | Lottie Loves Paper

I've managed to find some energy and uncluttered desk space to scrap with my Lottie Loves Paper 'Think Happy' kit. It seemed much more important than finishing off operation tidy up the craft room which is why I presume I will never ever get that tidy craft room I'm after!

It's a simple layout. I added texture to the white card with my sewing machine before gutting the heart patterned paper. We all know paper like this is too good to be covered up so gutting it is essential! It makes a lovely border and I still have a large chunk for a future layout.

I've added a few stickers and a title - I did say it was a simple one. I love it though, it's nice and clean and really appeals to my love of white space and careful use of colour.

I couldn't pick it up on camera but I've added a load of a sparkle pen to highlight the stitching. It's subtle but it catches the light beautifully. This pen may become my new obsession!

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. ...
