Laura Rumble - Crafter

I have two super cool things to share with you today.  One is my hat - it's a panda!  Big thanks to my pet crocheter aka Mum.  Second is these tiny polymer clay pandas... (oh my goodness, I went to get the link and discovered there are penguins too!!) Anyway, the two pair together perfectly on this layout. I added a bit of the packaging technique to a 9x12 white background and followed up with a 7x10 piece of silver foiled polka dot vellum. A created a + shaped cluster with black and white snippets and added that on top of the vellum. I added sewing in black and white thread, the black stitches on the white card and vice versa.  In the photo I am wearing a pale blue hoodie.  To tie that olour in to the layout I added a blue thread nest behind my photo which was popped up on foam. I finished off with a lavish sprinkling of pandas!  There were hundreds in the pack so I can afford to be generous with them! Thanks for stopping by!

I've pulled out my silhouette cameo again for this weeks SpiegelMom Scraps project.  We are still working with the theme of Use Your Tools - I do plan to use other tools too but I really love my Cameo! What better than a shaker candy cane packed with festive sequins?! Happy Happy Winter fills the majority on the shaker areas with two highlighting some handmade polymer clay candy canes by the fabulous Manxy Cat Crafts . The remainder of the layout features some splatters with Shimmerz Paints Vibez in Snow Storm and some grosgrain ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. This one was a lot of fun! Thanks for looking!
