Hi MaryAnne,
I would love to link back to your distress tool tutorial at http://creatiefblogvandeweek.blogspot.com/ May I do so and use one of your photos while at it?
kind regards, Dymphie
Can you make me of of these pretty pink iphone docks and sell it to me. I would love to give one to my daughter for Christmas. thanks so much
Hi Mary Anne. I saw your instructional YouTube video about making concertina books. They are the most beautiful concertina books I’ve seen. I really want to make them but it would be helpful to have step by step written instructions to follow. I was hoping you could send me a link if you have one or maybe you could email me directions. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and talent. Best wishes. Roni
I have never done a PDF for the concertina books! Maybe that is something I can do next week, although to do so I will have to use the stills that are in the slideshow – or make another one
I’ll have a play and if I do one I’ll send it to you.
Glad you like it – they are pretty aren’t they?

Hi Mary Anne,
Love your mini albums! I was wondering your email addy and if you ever arrange swaps? I am new to album making and am desperate to find some crafty peeps to exchange ideas with in the UK. Any help you can offer would be very appreciated. Thanks, Gina
There is a very active swap community on UKScrappers! I don’t generally do swaps, as I always have a lot going on, but check out the swap forum there and you will soon find some like-minded peeps.

Hi Mary Anne,
I wanted to write directly to you but can not find an email address.
I have been enjoying your site and art for a few days now and was wondering if you’ve done any sympathy cards you’ll like to share.
I find them to be the hardest challenge and am always looking for ideas.
I”m also curious, how did you wind up in the UK? And for how long?
That is, if you don’t mind the questions!
Thanks for sharing your work.
Interestingly, and quite sadly, I find I need a sympathy card at the moment and, like you, I’m struggling with it. I’m nto a natural cardmaker,to be honest, scrapbooking is my passion, and other sorts of paper art, but I will have to make one so if I do, and don’t cop out with a store bought one, I’ll add it.
Thanks for yur kind comment. I’m glad you like my blog work and I’ll have to add an email address someplace for you and anyone else who feels they want to get in touch. My address is all over UKS and I guess it just never accourred to me it should be here as well
Mary Anne
First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the free project life printables. I love them and will use them over and over. You were very nice to share them. Secondly, why can’t I get the colorbox ones to fit/print correctly on the page? Tried to open in word to be able to move them, but they won’t open. All the rest save and print perfectly.
