Throwback | UK Hop


Catching up on a couple of layouts made for YouTube hops last year...


First up is a layout made for the UK Scrappy YouTubers Cooperative.  This is a new-ish venture and I hope you'll see more from us all soon.


I used a colouring page that I had painted with watercolour as the main feature of the page.  I cut all the flowers and leaves out and layered them behind my photo.


The purple piece was a watercolour experiment that turned out too cool to throw away!


I mounted the white on a yellow glitter 12x12.  I gutted the middle and used it to cut out some yellow circles.  These circles help to tie the border in with the centre of the layout.


I went through quite a few choices before I settled on the yellow... white, grey, sage, a few purples, blues, red and black all failed the test!  Looking back they were all fine but none of them popped like the yellow did.


Here's the video:


And this one was for World Kindness Day...


I pulled out all of the stops of the alphas for this one!


I embellished with a few sequins from SpiegelMom's, some acrylic from Color Cast, some thickers asterisks and some stamped plus signs.  Oh and splatters, mustn't forget splatters!


The aim was to repeat all of the colours I had used in the title in a sprinkling over a diagonal half of the page.  Here is 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... 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.   ...
