Scrapbooking | It's a Marmite

Whilst I had my Shimelle stash out I wanted to get this story recorded...

The silver foiled bug paper was a perfect match. I layered over some 12x12 vellum so the photo and story could dominate most of the layout. Papermill Direct have just started doing 12x12 vellum and the quality is excellent. It was another day for machine sewing too... I chose a fancy stitch this time. I don't know why I don't use more of the stitch options as they add such character to the page.

I went a little crazy for the little word stickers too. They all seemed to match - curious, wonderer, learn...

The story is such a cute one. My neph insisted on calling the velvet mite in his insect book a marmite.

I used every bug themed supply I could and then resorted to butterflies.

The enamel butterflies are from Jillibean Soup so not only a different collection but an entirely different manufacturer, but still they colour matched perfectly.

Here's the video:

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. ...
