AMD Samples - Shadowbox Frame

Another sample using the Anna Marie Design products, this time a shadowbox frame with a scrapbook layout inside of it.


To begin with, I selected a piece of the 12" x 12" cardstock from the pink Paper Blooms Pad and adhered it to the back of the frame.  I then assembled the frame and painted/crackled it with Viva chalky paint and crackle.  I took another piece of the same paper and fussy cut the flowers at the top, shaped them slightly and layered them using glue gel.  I did exactly the same thing with the birdcage, again bending it slightly to give it depth and adhered to the main area with glue gel.

I applied Inka Gold to one of the frames which comes with the shadow box and also to the MDF word Memories, a lovebird and some hearts.  Using dries clear glue, I applied Ice Crystals on top of them.

I cut my photo (which was not the original but a copy!) and fixed it to the shadow box and then glued the frame over it, positioning one of the postcards to the top of it and one of the tags to the side.  A letter and number die were used to add detail to these.  I added a bow made of pink twine, die cut leaves, small flowers, one of the hearts I'd prepared earlier and the lovebird.  I do use Pinflair Glue Gel to do this as it gives me time to move things about if I so wish.



I added pearl strings around the front of the frame to cover the joints, three small hearts and the Memories word and then decorated the top with another larger bow made of pink twine, leaves and flowers.

Finally, I added glue gel thinly with my finger to various parts of the project and covered with Ice Crystals.

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
