Just I Wish........

and a few more little details.

Like zig zag stitching and a torn fabric strip,

scrunched up fab rips by Studio Calico a staped piece of rick rack, paper clip and some layered chipboard,

And so, another layout from the marvelous May Magpie kit.

Just Wordless Wednesday

Just Some Little Details

First, a big thanks to Margie for coordinating the OLW blog hop on Sunday, and thanks to all of you who visited.  It was fun, wasn't it? 

Since then, I've been noodling around between work and the back yard, enjoying the warm weather we've been having.  So much  outside looks and feels  like summer now.  I LOVE it.

Anyway, I've another Magpie Kit layout to share with you, with a few close ups of the little details.  I love little details.  I'm such a white space scrapper, so I usually  have lots and lots of details clustered around my photo.  I  do hope you've checked out this May Magpie kit,.  Its packed with  Cosmo and Studio Calico, with a bit of Basic Grey and more thrown in.

So, some little details. 

like lcut up banner flags and edging just about everything with paint,

a spurt of hand stiching,

more stitching, on ribbon to make a little gather, attached with tiny staples,


and sequins attached with french knots

The end result?

So thats it!  Done.

For now, I'm off to a yoga class.

Just OLW Blog Hop - May

May 1st, and you know what that means........................... OLW is on the hop again, so here we go!!

Our class assignment this month was to write a letter to ourselves, a letter that speaks of maybe how things are going, or where you want to go.  And leave it to Ali - she ROCKS!!  Have you heard of FutureMe?  Totally cool.  My letter will be sent back to me next year on May 1st.  I'm not posting it here, but I enjoyed writing it, and it will be fun to discover where things end up a year from now.

We were also to include a photo of ourselves, so I went with this one, edited in LoFi.  Perfect for those of us who love all things retro.  Its only 29 bucks and well worth the fun.  It gives you the ability to add films, moods and frames to your photos.

And another, just for fun.



Thanks to Magpie Girl Sheri, for turning me on to that!

Next up on the hop is Miss Cindy, right here. 

If you get hopping too fast and need to start again, the full list of today's hoppers  is below.
