hello SUNSHINE


Hey there, today is new challenge day at Crafty Ribbons!  My team mate Elaine has chosen the theme of Holidays, and I have made a layout about an annual camping trip my youth group went on...


The paper collection is from Cocoa Vanilla Studios, and enamel dots from my stash.  I used a new (to me) stamp set that I picked up in like for ever's sale to stamp a little 'hello sunshine' tab...


Most of the goings on on this layout are safely tucked away in a glassine bag behind my main photo.  There were a few extra photos and some journaling that I didn't want the world to see and a glassine bag is my favourite way to contain such things.  And that is where the ribbon comes in...


The photos are 7x5 inches and so the bag needed to be big enough to hold them.  The little tags made their way to the bottom of the bag and got lost.  To remedy this I added some ribbon pulls to each journalling card and tag so they are easy to access.

All the ribbons I used are from the Summer Festival range exclusive to Crafty Ribbons.

I hope you can join us over on the challenge blog!

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 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.   ...
