So what do you think? Are they dragon eggy enough? I used inks to give them that wonderful dragon egg colour and depending on whether you do the egg in silver, gold or brass you end up with different shades... it's pretty cool. </div>

It's actually quite soothing to sit with a huge pile of drawing pins and press them into the polystyrene egg... I just have a couple of them to make as my son quite likes the idea of a couple for his coffee table. </div>

This was one of my first attempts with the Eileen Hull wrap around journal die, love the papers, they are old and I am not sure where I got them. I threaded lots of beads onto the elastic binding which was great fun and makes it look a bit lush!</div>

I attached the bottom danglies with leather and threaded them through the elastic holes at the bottom.</div>

I also used elastic for the closure, it keeps everything nice and neat.</div>

We had another beautiful sunny day here today so once I had been for my bike ride and had breakfast I sat in the scrap room and had a play with the Wrap Journal die by Eileen Hull, it is becoming a firm favourite of mine. I had some suede-like stickyback stuff in my stash and thought I could give it a try out, it looks lovely and cuts without any problem at all.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the Bind It All o'wires to it and lots of pages but had the most fun with my Bejeweller and went mad with the bling and gems!</div>

Some of the girls on Eileen Hull Facebook page asked if there was a tutorial on how to do it... so here goes!<br />

For this version I chose a sewing theme, I think this will make a fun gift for people that sew and obviously, this is just one version as you can do what ever theme will work for you. Plain paper for the artists among us, scrap pages to make a memory book, note books etc...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so start with your chipboard, mountboard etc that you are using for the base. I then covered both sides with patterned paper and used the wrap journal die to cut it out.</div>

I inked the scissors in silver and the cotton reel in brown and added a button to the top of the button piece so that there was some contrast with the plain paper.</div>

Fold the centre line of the spine in half and squeeeeeeze it into the Bind It All (BIA) and then punch the holes through. It was a tight fit but the BIA cut through all the layers without issue.</div>

Open it out and flatten the centre line down. You can see that I also put the front of the journal piece into a lattice folder and embossed it in the Bigshot... that's optional too... I am just testing some theories as I go along. </div>

I added some sticky pearls to the front cover... I regretted that decision later as it made the front quite bulky... I would do it to the wrap front piece only next time.</div>

Nope, I haven't lost the plot... those the foam things you put on your toes when you paint your toenails... but I use them for holding bobbins filled with cotton thread because they are brilliant, they hug the bobbin and stop the thread from unwinding!</div>

I cut squares of transparency film for the pages... you can use paper instead if you prefer, it just makes it all very neat and light.</div>

I used double sided tape to attach the folded paper to the tops of the transparencies and then put all 4 into the BIA and punched holes in them for the pages.</div>

Then you need to put a strip of double side tape on each page and attach the foam toe thingies which are now cool bobbin holders to each one! Voila! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a dangly to the o'wires and filled the holes top and bottom with half pearls, added a cord to tie it shut and that is it done and dusted. You can see here why I would pass on the half pearls to the front cover next time round... ;)</div>

Hope you have fun with the wrap journal die, it really is a brilliant piece of kit.</div>

Our lovely Tom-Tom went to Rainbow Bridge a month ago, it has been a very sad time and little Pandora misses her brother. I have managed to do this layout of him and have the workings of a mini book in my head so as soon as I can sit with all his photos and put it together I will.</div>

I don't have any excuses... I just didn't seem to have anything worthwhile to say.<br />
<br />
I have been busy with my house and getting used to having Chris at home all day, every day, it makes it more difficult to play. That must sound like he minds me sitting and playing and it couldn't be further from the truth, it is me that is the problem, I like to do stuff when I want to do it and in the past it meant that mealtimes passed and I didn't notice so carried on with whatever it was I doing. Now with someone else in the house, breakfast is at a certain time, mid morning coffee and lunch are planned and catered for... in the old days I came out of the craft room in time to sort dinner and that was it! LOL <br />

Every month five of us ladies do lunch and sit and put the world to rights for a few hours, it is a lovely catch up and meal out with friends. So I was sitting at my desk and thought it might be fun to make them each a notepad to keep for messages or odd bits that they need to write down.</div>

I joined a swap with Elizabeth and some other lovely ladies to swap tip-ins each month for 6 months. I completed and sent off mine for this month and the lovely<a href="http://pearshapedcrafting.blogspot.co.uk/"> Chris </a>has received them so I can share them today. I got them out a bit early because tomorrow I go to hospital to try and sort my right wrist out and I am not sure how much use I will get out of it for a couple of weeks. Chris' theme was anything to do with the garden but no frogs....<br />

I have a frothy coffee beside me and have been having a play with a sheet of A4 copy paper trying to fold it into an envelope with a leaf origami folded thingy on the front... from the one sheet of paper! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Why you ask? Because I want to see if I can! The <a href="http://blog.naver.com/PostThumbnailView.nhn?blogId=sjrenoir&logNo=50032896561&categoryNo=37&parentCategoryNo=">destructions were in Chinese</a> and the auto translation left a lot to be desired but the photos were easy enough to follow... well, if I am successful then yes, easy enough to follow!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It worked... not bad for a first try! LOL Apologies for the photos but my camera battery just died so had to use my phone and it hates the light in my scrap room.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then I did this one with gift wrap paper - think it is easier to use thinner papers to start with. I think they are rather sweet and you could write your letter or do a drawing or a poem on the inside and then fold it up... not much good for posting but nice if you can hand it to someone?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will be popping in to see what other peeps are doing today!</div>

I am joining <a href="http://alteredbooklover.blogspot.co.uk/">Elizabeth for T on Tuesday</a> with a photo from last week... it was my 60th Birthday on the 4th January!

and a scrap page of when Chris and I visited Lake Louise in Banf in Alberta when we were living in Calgary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know... and it really feels great to be getting back into crafting mode again after such a long time of feeling mojo less and drifting in the sludge of too much stuff, too many jobs around the house and trying to find a new routine.</div>

I am joining <a href="http://alteredbooklover.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/t-stands-for-remembrance.html">Elizabeth and Bleubeard for T on Tuesday</a> two weeks in a row now! Sitting have a cup of tea with a slice of cake (or two) and glancing through my Tea Wisdom book which has some pretty high falutin sayings about tea... I have to admit, I prefer the down to earth ones that don't tax my brain too much. In honour of Armistice Day tomorrow I have my poppy and my candle holder with the Union Jacks on it. We had Remembrance Day last Sunday with the laying of the poppy wreaths at the cenotaphs around the country. <i>Cenotaph: <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">noun</span></i></div>

On a crafty note, I have been busy making up scrapbook page kits! Yes, here I am putting together a page kit for the 20 retired ladies that meet up once a month and whom I joined when I came home from Australia. They are a lovely bunch and we enjoy learning something new each month so I was asked if I could teach a scrapbook page.... oh boy.... this is going to be something! I am trying to keep it simple by cutting to size all the various pieces of papers they will need... and diecut all the birdcages and cut all the ribbons... so it shouldn't be a disaster, should it? ;)</div>

Now we are home and Chris is retired it seems weird to go sit in the scraproom and play for hours... when there is a house to clean and jobs to be done! LOL <br />
So, I am joining <a href="http://alteredbooklover.blogspot.co.uk/">Elizabeth and Bleubeard for T on Tuesday</a>....<br />

I have been sitting at my desk and making a little tea book, I have enough to make two, so if they turn out the way I think they should, I may make a few more as gifts seeing as how the big C word is looming over us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am thinking I need a challenge to get me playing again... </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have been sitting in the scraproom this morning with the rain hitting the windows and the wind blowing so thought it was the right time to sit and make a card for a lovely lady I met in Brisbane. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dee went into hospital on Tuesday for a double mastectomy and reconstruction work. I told her I would make a card and pop it in the post to her for when she gets home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope she likes it... and that her recovery goes smoothly, she has the right attitude and smiles all the time, so we are all rooting for her.</div>

kind of spoilt it with my handwriting but she is such a sweety I am sure she will forgive me! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used lots of little pink pearls and some embossing folders I bought in Oz and have not used till now! (Oops). I saw a card on splitcoast stampers that I based this on but I cannot find it again now so will have another search so that I can credit the original design properly. <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1076350">OK, I found it! LOL</a></div>

As I actually have some crafting to show, the first for such a long time, I thought I would pop over and join Elizabeth for T on Tuesday! This is my desk with my cup of tea and a little photo album I am making for my Mum.... here's hoping the mojo is here to stay for a while!</div>

These are the Christmas cards I made at the crop in Aberdeen on Saturday. I had a lovely day with the group of crafties/scrapbookers and it was just what I needed to get me back to playing in my scraproom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is card one and there was some fussy cutting and inking and stamping and I love the way it turned out .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This looks so much prettier in real life, little glitter shiny bits on the trees and snow, will definitely be making more like these if I can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is an easel card and I love that stamp with the sleigh and reindeer going across the moonlight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was such fun to make, acetate behind the window and a little cut out snowman peaking with stamped trees and some glitter in the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, don't be expecting this standard of Christmas card from me at home, I haven't the dies or stamps I got to use at the card class but at least I can use the ideas and have a go with things I do have. Watch this space!</div>

I am writing this piggybacking on a neighbours interwebs which makes for an entirely new experience in speed!!<br />
<br />
I did want to say how sorry I was to read about the passing of <a href="http://queenartoypia.blogspot.com.au/">Eliza</a> last week, such a lovely lady and it has been a privilege to 'know' her and her cute little Yoda cat, from our desk visits with WOYWW and T on Tuesday. She will be sadly missed by all and my heart goes out to her family and friends at this sad time.<br />
<br />
I don't think there has ever been such a gap on my blog... the mojo has vanished into thin air with the invasion of painters and plumbers renovating the main bathroom.... a one week job that is now in week 3.... and with the phone line down too... but I will be back... and I will be playing at my desk soon.... its a promise.voodoo vixenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05969587296959836879noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009946218809976476.post-39441475180916211692015-06-03T07:34:00.002+01:002015-06-03T07:34:20.000+01:00WOYWW 313<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning! It actually looks like it might be a lovely sunny day here in Bonnie Scotland, which would be great, because we haven't really started the spring and summer very well! This is my desk on this bright June morning, you can see the ATC's I have received for the 6th Anniversary WOYWW Swap, with the lovely cards/folders and envelopes that they arrived in at the back. </div>

Jan's lovely hare, Jo's dumfling, Annie's embroidered, MaryAnne's popping up box and Neet's cute little piffy... they are so lovely and I am enjoying having them on the desk to sit and look at but think it is time to make a book to hold all the WOYWW swap ATC's for the last couple of years... that should keep me out of mischief for a while eh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking forward to seeing all the desks this morning and this evening is a walk at Haddo House and meal afterwards with the ladies group I have joined.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leave your number and I will be checking out the <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com.au/">linky list at our Julia's</a> to come by for a visit!</div>

these are the ATC's that I have managed to make... 12 of them and then the wrist said no more crazy lady, that's it.... the doctor says I have a ganglione pressing on the nerves in my wrist which needs operating on to remove it... </div>

I thought I would do a step back photo shot of the window and layout...it lets in so much light and makes it such a pleasure to work in there... will be glad when the new blinds arrive though, its fine during the day but at night I feel a bit like a goldfish in a bowl!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am being a lady that lunches today but will be back later to visit everyone and then I must make a start on the ATC's for the 6th Anniversary of WOYWW... I cannot miss that!</div>
