Flamingo Journal and Bookmark

A few weeks ago, I needed a new bookmark and decided to have a play with Pixie Powders and a napkin.  I don't often have time to sit and mess about with products so found this time very therapeutic.  I added some gold Luscious Powder to the edges and then dipped some plain white ribbon in the remaining paints and this was the result.


Inspired by this, I then decided to make myself a note book for my handbag using the Eileen Hull Passport Book die using the same products.  At the time, I only had white elastic to hold the booklets in place, however, after a lot of useful advice from Members of the Eileen Hull Fan Club, I am now planning to paint the elastic gold using the Indigo Blu Luscious Powder.

Decorated Tissue Box

I must admit, I am one of those sad people who likes pretty tissue boxes but don't like the prices of them!  So, I decided to make one of these...




It started as flat packed bare MDF which I assembled and added chalk paint and rice papers... now I can buy the cheap ugly tissues for 45p a box and hide them underneath!

H O M E

I have just completed the next phase in my lounge - needed some artwork for one of the walls and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
Firstly, I must apologise for the poor photos, however, me being me, I had already framed and mounted the pictures before realising I hadn't photographed them! plus it was a lovely sunny day when I took the photos so the reflection was bad!








All products used are from Anna Marie Designs and the frames are from Ikea (a gift from my ex!).

Bottle Lamps

I have been decorating my home over the last couple of months and have been on leave the past two weeks and finally managed to get into my craft room last weekend and play.
I needed to make a couple of lamps for my lounge and dining room and had two old cider bottles which I decided to recycle.  I was very happy with the end results.






Paints and ceramic effect are from Anna Marie Designs and rice papers are Stamperia.  I bought the lights off the internet, although AMD now sells them.

You're a Star!

HUGE proud Mummy moment last Thursday - my youngest, Sam, received his GCSE results and passed all eleven including A's in English, Maths and Geography - what an achievement!  
Of course, I made him a card which I had seen the talented Pete Hughes of Sizzix demonstrate a few weeks back and was pleased with the end result.

I love Pete's clean and simple style.  The two star dies were both from Sizzix, the script sentiment is from Tim Holtz, background ink is Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the star is painted with Indigo Blue paints and some gilding wax.  Sentiment was computer generated.

Exciting News!

Yet again, I have been a bad blogger, however, besides some projects I completed a few weeks back, just wanted to share some exciting news I received.  I think everyone knows how much I love Anna Marie Designs products and projects and I have been chosen to be in Anna Marie's first ever Design Team!
So, here are the projects I have made recently using Anna Marie Design products, most of which are Christmas themed.
