For challenge three at Counterfeit Kit Challenge I decided to pick 'use n idea you have saved previously'  I didn't know quite how to word it, but hopefully you'll understand me...  We always stash ideas away when we read magazines, blog hop, pin on pinterest, in our ideas notebooks etc.  How often do we come back to those ideas and lists?  I rarely do, maybe it is just me.

I pulled two layouts out of a folder of magazine clippings.  I keep clippings of layouts for me, but also for the little ones when I scrap with them.  They seem to find it much easier to have something pictorial to work from.  I stick them all on A4 paper and put the in a ring binder, kind of like an inspiration folder.  Now, I had no intention of putting them online when I cut them out so I have no reference to the artist or the publication.  If you know please tell me so I can credit them.


I worked on the bottom one first - I hope to come back to the second one before the end of the month.



I ran with the pink background and tried hard to find the perfect girly picture.  I have no recent girly pink photos - none of us are pink girls really - but when this little one was younger she did have a girly girly phase.


A close up of all the little snippety bits at the edges...
Bow bunting from Ashley Calder.  I threw a whole bunch of enamel dots and hearts at the page too.


Used up the acetate butterflies and added some resin flowers - still got all the gold ones to use.


The 'happy' die cut was too red so I gave it a thin coat of gesso and it turned pink.  Happy accident.  I thought I would paint it white and then colour it somehow, but it worked out brilliantly.

I think I've used a good amount of my kit of this layout and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

  2. Oh, this is wonderfully lovely.
    I was going to ask about the bows - thought perhaps you had a punch I might covet, lol!
    It's much more delicate & detailed than the original.

  3. Love your take on the inspiration piece! The layered bits on both sides of the paper is so great... love the way they sort of frame the photo but still are so light and airy!! Pretty!

WOYWW 159

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
