Is it just me, or do you also find it so hard to throw away old shoes you used to love? I certainly do - ever since I realized what potential lies within them!
That’s exactly why I love Finnabair media so much: they let me transform old items into little treasures.
For the background here, I used rice paper from the 7 Dots Studio Stargazer collection - these papers work amazingly well not just on flat, smooth surfaces. Add a few cogs and the queen Dragonfly to that!
How do you like this makeover?

Today I get to show you the very last project I created for Finnabair’s Design Team. Unfortunately, I am leaving the team after a year.
I remain incredibly proud to have worked with such an amazing team, and I look back on the experience with great pleasure.
Now, a quick word about the project itself. The base is a round wooden board measuring 30 cm. It has been treated with "Midnight Tides" effect paste and various colors of acrylic paint. The wonderful image comes from the "Chestnut Street" Fiber Paper set.
Naturally, I used various moulds from Finnabair and Prima Marketing. The stunning bright blue finish also comes from the "Midnight Tides" effect paste set.
You can see the details, the composition, the materials and the techniques that I have used in this video tutorial.

Today I'm excited to share an Art Journal page that I created using a beautiful mix of Finnabair favorites! For the foundation, I started with a sheet from the Stargazer Collection, then built up layers of rich color and texture using paints and gorgeous Metallic Flakes. I love how the vibrant blues, touches of gold, and dimensional textures came together to create a dreamy, artistic background for my focal collage.
One of my favorite things about art journaling is the freedom to experiment. There are no rules—just layers, textures, and creativity leading the way. It's the perfect place to play with your favorite mixed media products and see where the creative journey takes you!
If you'd like to see exactly how this page came together, be sure to check out my start-to-finish process video over on the Finnabair YouTube Channel, where I walk you through each step from the first layer to the finishing details.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I truly hope this project inspires you to pull out your favorite supplies, embrace the creative process, and spend a little time making something just for you.
Until next time... Hugs, and have FUN creating!
Lanette
