1st TEETH


Here is my first layout with my January Counterfeit Kit.  I've got to say, I love it!  There is no light here at all, it's so dull and dreary, so the photos are not the best.  I need some low light photography tips!!


It's so simple and sparse but still has enough to excite my eyes.  I've used a good amount of stickers - big tick!


The clouds and heart are from Things That Shine and the seam binding is from Crafty Ribbons(Crafty Ribbons are having a design team call - if you love working with ribbons please drop us a line.  All the details can be found here!)


These butterfly stickers have been in my stash for years.  I remember buying them at The Craft Barn but can't work out exactly which year.  They have to be more than 10 years old.  Only two left now.  That makes me happy!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Such pretty butterflies! I would have hoarded them too. :)
    Love the touch of color with the heart. Great design and cute. I have the same issue in PA with lack of natural light. It was worse yesterday and I wasted an hour trying to get a good photograph before I gave up. Today's was marginally better. Good luck with the teething. Have a great day!

  5. Great page - you are right there is just enough to keep the page interesting in details but not distracting from the photo.

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
