Shape Series | Triangle Makes II

Here's a round up of everything triangle-y from the last few weeks. Everything from a small bit of patterns paper that features a triangle design to projects created with triangles at the heart of the design.

This layout was for a Scrap Squad lift and features a piece of green triangle patterned paper amongst other scraps from my yellow, blue and green paper boxes.

This cut file was designed specifically for my shape series. I've also added triangle stencilling in the background and used some triangle patterned paper to back parts of the cut file.

This layout has some stencilling that uses a hexagonal design that is made up of triangles... tenuous link to triangles but *shrugs*

This layout is all about that 6x6 patterned paper... it is marvellous! It's from a Honeybee pad and I love everything about it!

There is a textured triangle stitch design on the background of this card. Also had a little play with coloured embossing powder which is something I'm keen to use more of soon.

This layout uses probably my all time favourite sketch...

It's the first time I've adapted the sketch to A4 and I'm pleased to know it works just as well in this format.

Another tenuous link to the triangle theme - see that small piece of confetti?!

This was made over the National Scrapbook Day weekend - yes, I know... but we really don't celebrate for just a day. If we're honest, it goes on for a week at least!

I'm not so happy with this design but you can se what I was aiming for with the triangle theme...

Not every layout is a keeper though!

Summing up, I still haven't touched the triangle enamel 'dots' that I was aiming to use up. I do feel I'm ready to move on to squares now though, and maybe rethink the remaining triangle ideas at a later stage.

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
