Lollipop Box Club | Scrapbooking

Hi folks, Laura here with a scrapbook layout to share.

It had been a while since I last scrapped and looking through the entire kit was a bit overwhelming. I got over this by picking out just a few bits that I loved the most (shh, don’t tell the other bits I said that!) I grabbed a few of the papers, the Bramble Fox camera and the stickers. I knew that would give me a good base to build upon. I chopped up the cut apart card and picked out a couple of die cuts. This gave me focal words and summery vibes to add to my base. I picked out a summery photo of my neph wearing sunglasses and started playing.

I’m moving towards working on A4 for my main scrapbook layouts or A5 for my scraptherapy style layouts. I have run out of room for 12x12 albums plus they are so expensive and hard to find in the UK. A4 albums are much easier to source and a fraction of the price. All that to say that I started with an A4 sheet of white cardstock. I had a grid design forming in my mind, each of the pieces of the kit that I had selected to use in their own spot all mounted on top of the ombre paper.

I took a little bit of shuffling to work out the best way of fitting them together. I used the peach tissue paper that the kit was wrapped in as layers behind most of the elements. I used the blue dot tissue paper behind the perspextive camera and camera sticker. To make sure the main focus was on the photo I added two layers of tissue, one in each colour. I mounted the ombre paper on to the white card with an equal border to the left, right and top. I then measured out a strip of the wave paper to leave that same border at the bottom of the page. Before I started gluing things down, I added some sunshine yellow ink splashes. I then adhered my pieces in place and finished off with a few sequins. I’ve added my journalling after taking the photos.

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
