Unsure...



Here is a (long time un-blogged) layout created for NSD.  The Like For Ever challenge was 'use your STASH' - so use something beginning with each letter of the word stash.


I picked Stitching, Triangles, All of the rub ons, Stickers and Handful of sequins.  I used up the rest of a sheet of rub ons and then used the backing cut in to triangles - nothing goes to waste here!


My stitching is rarely straight.  ;)

I felt the green sticker on the photo was screaming out too much being the only green in the layout so I added a few enamel dots in the same colour in a couple of places around the page.


These sequins were part of a Things That Shine kit.

And the pink floral pieces - yep, I cut up a stencil.  It was a Dear Lizzy stencil and it just wasn't up to the job.  It was too flimsy for anything other than just spraying mists through.  I like to scrape paste over stencils, this stencil was just getting bent and ruined by my heavy-handed-ness (not that I am particularly heavy handed!)  I actually really liked it used like this and contemplated buying another stencil purely to cut up!!

Overall I am really not sure I like the layout...  Constructive criticism very welcome (please!)

Thanks for stopping by

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
