Lottie Loves Paper | Home For The Holidays

I've been scrapping with Pinkfresh Studio's Home for the Holidays as part of my DT assignments for Lottie Loves Paper. The collection is fun and bright with the addition of a bright mustard yellow along with the usual Christmas colours.

The first layout has a mixed media feel with inks and sewing.

And you can never have too many birds on a layout!

I don't know why I don't use the fancy stitches more often...

And aaaah, look at the cute little chick. Doesn't look at all like the monster who bit my ear so hard recently I thought I'd had another piercing!!

Another bird. I told you, never too many!

No birds on this second layout although I did continue with the sewing theme.

All of the squares came from half a sheet of patterned paper. They looked like tiles so I tiled them across the page and grouted them with sewing!

Everything else was kept fairly simple as the background packs a punch.

And the third layout features a strip of red patterned paper which I really rather fancy as a wrapping paper design!

Finished with a cluster of Christmas trees this one has put me in a nice festive spirit!

Thanks 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...

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. ...
