Hello Friends
Firstly, I apologise for being missing for so long. Unfortunately I spent nearly a month in hospital (not Covid related) and have only recently come home, still not 100% well, but I am taking lots of time to slowly recuperate. I want to say a huge thank you to all those who missed me, messaged me, sent me cards and flowers and most of all to those very special friends who supported me through a difficult and worrying time.
Before being whisked away, I followed a Youtube tutorial by one of my hugely talented Stamperia team mates - Shamela Hendricks. Shamela made a larger exploding house album and box but I didn't have enough of the gorgeous House of Roses papers .... and so I made a half sized album and exploding house shaped box.
This is a view of the front of the 'closed' album cover.
I loved making this project. Shamela is a great teacher, she takes time to explain everything well. I hope you might find time to check out her video, if only to see her completed project, it is incredible.
Thanks so much for your visit, I am so happy to be 'back' and I will slowly be getting back into social media and look forward to visiting all my friends soon. Please bear with me!
Hugs, Anne xxx
So happy you are home Anne, keep getting better. I just love this project and plan to “have a go”. Have watched Shamalas videos, what a great resource, thank you xx

You're very welcome, Annie, and we will bear with you for as long as it takes for you to make a complete recovery. We missed you, but we want you better!

What a fabulous idea and your version is just stunning .. no surprise there! I plan to take a look at Shamela's video and, perhaps making one for myself. Take care .. hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Anne! Such a clever shape and these papers are beautiful. I'm so glad that you're back home, and now you must take things easy until you are back to full strength. Take care and have a lovely week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, watched Shamela's you tube. Could you please ask you friend to turn on notifications otherwise we won't know when she posts a new project. So glad you are back and feeling better, Love the project. thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFantastic project Anne - it is so detailed and the papers are wonderful. It takes my breath away. Glad to have you back.
ReplyDeleteI have never learned to make one of these and I am always in awe seeing one. Love each panel and the colors, so pretty Anne. So very happy you are home and mending up.
ReplyDeleteAnne I have no idea how I missed this I had the 16th in my mind and checked yesterday but saw nothing, not even my own post was showing, apologies but I really do not know what blogger is playing at but... Welcome Home indeed my friend, you know how happy I am xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little house this is, I have never seen anything like it before with it's clever shape containing all those working elements, wouldn't this make a genius New Home gift or to welcome a newborn into the world holding those little things we keep and treasure. I really must check out Shamela's tutorial, wonderful when a creative takes time out to explain all those finer details.
Keep well my friend and take time out to rest please Big Hugs Tracey xx
Only seeing post now Anne. Such a very pretty and darling creation. Truly beautiful. Nx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful project and I will go watch your teammates video. So glad you are home from the hospital and recovering. Sending lot of virtual hugs your way. thanks as always for sharing.
