Scrapbooking | Tulle Waves

I've had this layout in my head for a long time... I cut these bikinis from Pinkfresh papers and then was stumped as to how to use them. Slowly this design formulated but I've only got around to making it now.

The bikinis are trapped in pillowy pockets of white tulle, all frothy like spindrift from the waves. For good measure I also enclosed a mixture of sequins from old SpiegelMom mixes.

The cluster around the photo is all Pinkfresh stash. You know what I'm like... I've seen their new collection is coming out in May and I want to use up some of what I have to make space for the new goodies.

There's always a certain amount of hoarding with me and Pinkfresh papers - I can't help it!

How gorgeous does it all look under the tulle? I think tulle might be my new thing!

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...

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. ...
