Tremendous Friend

Hello Friends

I really hope you are fairing well during this awful pandemic.  We are in our 7th week of lock down in our house now but we are doing our best to keep ourselves entertained.  David is spending time doing lots of things in our tiny garden and I have re-organised my craft room several times!

My Guest designer project this week for AALL & Create is something a little different from me, it is a shaker card.  Janet Klein has done sets of the most adorable little girl and boy stamps and I love this little girl with her butterfly friends and the fabulous sentiment.  I used Janet's AALL stamp set #299 - Tremendous Friend along with Autour de Mwa's Lotza Dotz stencil (#39).


I have a few pictures to show you the process, I am sure you all know how to create a shaker!


A close up to show you the fabulous sentiment...


You can find a list of worldwide stockists for the stamp and stencil I used HERE

I thought whilst I am here, I would share what I made in one of Tracy Evans's on line workshops at the weekend.  We used Eileen Hull's Notebook die by Sizzix along with Tracy's beautiful stamps.  It was great fun and I loved it so much, I made two!  I will definitely be doing more of Tracy's classes!

As always, thanks for your visit.

Stay safe and well.  Hugs, Anne xx

  2. Ooh your card is such fun, I love it! I have just bought that stamp set and some of her friend too. After seeing your card I am so glad I did! Love your books too, I have signed up for the class but couldn't do it live and haven't caught up yet as Darren's Dad died unexpectedly on Saturday and we are all upset and in shock! Take care my friend and stay safe. Hugs xxxxxxx

  6. Oh, WOW, you were so productive at the weekend class, Annie! How great that she is holding those. Your notebooks are first-class and I just love the bright and cheery colors! They have lifted my spirits this morning! And your shaker card could not be any more adorable if it tried! The background, colors, and the fact that you made it a shaker card to showcase that incredible little girl and her butterflies, just shows how amazing your imagination is!! Take care and keep on keeping safe! Hugs, Darnell xxoo

  7. Anne that's a spectacular shaker card, beautiful colours sweet design but the words really do speak to me so much. I especially love how the dots stencil peeps thought the aperture, another stunner Anne.
    I do love what you created over the weekend, looks like you had a fabulous class with Tracy, those colours are fruity fresh and vibrant just what we all need to brighten our days. Fabulous that it's all held in Eileen's handy sized journal must be a lovely creation to open and explore.
    I could do with some creative time just like this.. Thanks for sharing Anne & I hope this weekend is just as creative.
    Sending Hugs you way stay safe lovely.. Tracey xx

  8. Anne these are such wonderful pieces! I love Janet's designs (I have quite a few of her Stampotique stamps) they are so quirky and fun without being too cute. Your projects are always so colourful and happy - just perfect for the situation at the moment. Take care and have a lovely weekend, Sue xx

  10. Utterly lovely! You could probably guess that I would adore these gentle, airy blues and greens, and I love the idea of the butterflies fluttering around when you give the card a shake. Really charming.

  14. Ooh, it's nice to have a wander. It's a while since I've visited your blog. I made a little accordion book with Janet's stamps a little while ago. The words on this set might just be my favourite. They were the reason I made the book to send to a very special friend. This is wonderful :-)
