Scrapbooking | Granma

I recently found some old photos of my granma and wow, it felt like finding treasure!

For this layout I tried a new way of spreading paint on my page - it's easier for you to watch than me try and explain it!

The flowers are part of the Bed Of Roses cut file from Pretty My Page cut on some Jillibean Soup patterned paper. The leaves were painted with left over paint I had mixed up. With no pot to put it back in to it was destined for the bin but I just can't bring myself to throw paint away. I'd much rather doodle something with it and then toss that if it doesn't work out.

The butterflies are from Bramble Fox and inspired the colour scheme. I'm really enjoying working with plum-purple and teals. I've always been a cheerleader for yellow, especially mustard yellow.

Enamel dots were the perfect way to bring a few more touches of teal and green to the page.

And I added three copper paperclips. I would like to have added a bit more of the copper colour to the page but I didn't find anythng in my stash! Must resist the urge to stock up!!

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. ...
