Lollipop Box Club | Alice's Tea Party


Today I'm sharing my first project using the fab Alice’s Tea Party box from Lollipop Box Club.
I love the blue check paper and decided to use it as a background for a scrapbook layout.  I’ll put this together with some other 6x8 layouts using Lollipop Box Club papers and bind them with rings to create a mini album.  More on that next month as it starts to take shape.


I focused in on the tea and cake theme and pulled out some photos of the last time I made it out to a cafe (in April last year!)  I used another of the patterned papers to back each of my three photos.  I stretched the Mrs Brimble’s border sticker across the width of the page by snipping it in half and covering the gap with one of the photos.  A little bit of fussy cutting, a die cut and a sticker here and there around the page was all it needed to pull the whole page together.


I’m used to working in a 12x12 format so a 6x8 comes together very quickly for me!  I was searching for some more white space on the page but I couldn’t find any way to incorporate all three photos and still have empty space.  I guess I’m going to have to tweak my style if I’m going to master 6x8.  I used the check pattern to line up my journalling and wrote in a soft grey ink instead of harsh black.  


Here's the video:



I’ll be back soon with a 12x12 made with the Alice's Tea Party kit from Lollipop Box Club – yep, I’m headed straight back to my comfort zone!!

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 up in the corresponding g

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.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
