Laura & Mitzy


I've discovered Wilna Furstenberg.  She rocks!  I watched this video and loved the third layout (starting around 12 minutes) so much that I basically lifted it identically, albeit with different supplies.


I love the way Wilna structured her layout.  I also admire her use of 'little bits'.  I seem to struggle to get much product on to my page.  I have a few theories... I like clean and simple, I pay for all my supplies and therefore don't want to use too many in one go, I am unsure how to use the words included in ephemera packs, I am stuck in a rut.  It's probably a combination of all four.  A lot of layouts that are packed with product are made by design team members who are supplied with freebies - maybe they don't feel the need to eek out every last possible project, maybe they are doing their job well by making me want to use more product!!


I think I have done well here using quite a few little bits from the Gossamer Blue ephemera pack, and also to use the butterfly stickers that I adore so much!


I think I will make a sketch of this to use over and over!  Thank you Wilna for inspiring me :)

    1. Mitzy is my holiday dog! She is usually staying next door to us when we holiday on a farm.
      I don't have a dog as I can't exercise one, I just adopt dogs online and when I'm on holiday ;D
      We have labradors in the family and they are just furry dustbins - they eat literally anything, my favourite example being half a compost heap!! x

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
