Conjurer of Dreams Inspiration # 3

My inspiration projects for Conjurer of Dreams this month is using Festive Steampunk Polar Bear on the first one, and Winter Christmas Hamster with Winter Pines AI Art background on second one.

This first one, I used some dies that were given to me as gifts, in white cardstock, as well as black cardstock to put behind my image. I then used my Pheonix Watercolour pallet to blend the image into the page as well as some flicks for interest. My sentiment is from an old Kindred Stamps stamp set. 

I used a die from Bee Arty in White Cardstock and placed behind my image. My sentiment is from an old Kindred Stamps stamp set and I added some splats from my white paint pen. Lastly I added some clear domes to enhance it a bit.

Gecko Galz ATC Challenge

It's been a while since I joined in the ATC Challenge over at Gecko Galz and with this month's page being Alice in Wonderland inspired, I just could not let it go by without creating.

It's a fab set of three!

I used only the PDF backgrounds and images from the sheet supplied by Kim (go grab it here) with my words being from Michelle Grant Designs - Mini Words by Karen Yates.

I also sponged around the edges with Black Soot distress ink.

You don't need to add a tonne of stuff to have a great looking ATC.

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 44

My first Inspiration Post this month for Michelle's Creative Warriors is a Journal layout using 2 of the black and white images from this month's Renew May Challenge pack by Michelle Grant.

For my background, I used a fun Napkin from the last Paper Craft Party day that we got at lunch. No way was I not going to use this in my craft!

I used my Pheonix Watercolours to colour the girls. Yes I need a lot more practise using this as I totally destroyed the girl on the right so covered her up with Gesso. Lucky for me it goes with the quote I picked out so I kept her covered.

I added a bit of washi tape to the body area of the girl on the left to help ground her to the page.

Anyway, there really is no wrong way when you craft and every  page is another learning experience. 

So don't be afraid to give it a go and share as you can see, we are all learning and growing together.

I hope I have inspired you just a little bit.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 43

My second Inspiration Post this month for Michelle's Creative Warriors, I have created a layout using one of the black and white images from this month's April Wishes Challenge pack by Michelle Grant.

For my background, I printed off a background paper on tissue from Michelle's Believe July 2022 Challenge pack.

Next I added some stencilling. I then added my image and also fussy cut some of the flower mushroom groups added them as well. I used Distress Crayons to give a diluted colour on my images.

I then used some foam stamps to stamp my quote and a black pen to outline my words, as well as giving my layout a border. 

I hope I have inspired you just a little bit.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 42

My first Inspiration Post this month for Michelle's Creative Warriors, I have created a Scrapbook Page layout using one of the girls from the Covid Art Image pack by Michelle Grant.

I used one of the girls as well as one of the quotes from the pack.

My background paper is the backing from a Mintay Chipboard pack.

I used Michelle's stencil "Roundabout" and Dies "Connected" and "Around" from the collection Full Circle she created for Bee Arty.

I used a few different archival inks through the stencil and then the second part of the stencil I used Gel Medium which gives a watermark effect.

I hope I have inspired you just a little bit.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 41

For me second Inspiration Post this month for Michelle's Creative Warriors, I have created a layout using one of the girls from the Chill Art Image pack by Michelle Grant.

I have been playing with Distress Oxide inks and my Gel plate so thought why not do it direct onto my journal page.....so if you don't like sharp lines, then this probably isn't for you. I myself don't mind them as this is my journal and my journey.

I was undecided whether to place my book directly over the gel plate or to turn the gel plate up and place it on my page.....well yes, I did the turn your book upside down and go with it technique. I quite like it offset and then inked up my gel plate again and dabbed as it were around the white border to give it a more rustic type look.

I adhered my girl and sentiment and then got out my Art my Marlene Mixed Media Play stamp set and stamped around my pages.

Lastly I thought my girl needed some colour, so I used 2 of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to give her a lift.

Instead of a black line around the border, I moved the Stormy Sky ink pad around the edges of the pages to break it up a bit.

I hope I have inspired you just a little bit.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Shake it Off

Mixed Media Monday 2024 and my next page of my Junk Journal Planner which is the back cover page of my first signature.

Oh my, how gorgeous is that girl! or creepy as my crafty friend says. Yes, I did find her on Pintrest.

I just had to make a page with her in my planner! and what better page then one facing the cover page of the second signature. I have yet to create it, but already I know it will be to do with Christmas as it will be starting July through to December! It will be such a contrast.

Anyway, I used some chipboard roses and off cut pieces from Scraftbookingncraft which I used some Finnabair coloured texture paste on. I also added some wording bits of a 49 and Market rubon set to give it some interest. On my roses, I rubbed some Finnabair wax to help blend in a touch with the wax I rubbed around the image.

I also used a paper and a fabric flower from my stash.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Mehhh

Mixed Media Monday 2024 and my next page of my Junk Journal Planner which is the 2nd page of June. 

I have now sewn my signature into my cover so having to now do my pages as in the planner instead of sliding it out and having it less bulky. Still it's okay, lol, except my 2nd signature is slightly up a bit, but hey, it's handmade so one of a kind!   

I used some more left over papers from Scrapping Clearly's Sweet Kiwi Foundations pack from my Alchemist Junk Journal classes last year. 

Combined this with Bee Arty's new Border Queen stamp and Rustic Harlequin stencil. I also used Colour Blast Lovely Lilac Colour Paste.

The tag I used another girl I found on Pintrest, printed off and cut to a tag. Transparency sheet (Sweet Kiwi Foundations) I trimmed and adhered with a eyelet then tied some sari ribbon through it. My velum paper (Sweet Kiwi Foundations) I stitched around to make a pocket and then stitched onto the page and popped my tag in.  

I also used a diecut frame and glittery sticker from my stash.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Whimsical Steampunk Dolls Paper Birthday Card

Have you seen the great range of papers and clip art over at Christine's Etsy Shop AandJjDesigns. 

(If you prefer Shopify, she has opened up there as well AandJjDesigns.) 

I made a birthday card for my lovely daughter using Vintage Neon Signs Paper and one of the dolls from Whimsical Steampunk Dolls Paper.

I have used one of the Neon Signs papers as my main background, and fussy cut one of the girls and her sweet cat which I have adhered with foam tape to lift off the card.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 40

I created a layout using Michelle's Peace Art Image pack for my 2nd March Inspiration Post for Michelle's Creative Warriors.

I love how she turned out.

I started with adhering some ripped up tissue paper I had stencilled with excess ink, some book pages and washi tape. Also some washi tape stickers from my stash.

I then added some stencilling using a black ink pad and then some acrylic paints. 

My stencil is Studio Lights "Ripped and Stains" Grunge Collection Mask.

Stamping with grey and brown ink pads and then adhering my girl and saying.

My stamps are 2 size Crosses from Scrap FX.

I added some acrylic paint to my girl as an eye attracting point. 

Lastly some doodling for a border around it.

LOL, perfect saying as the pen border almost did my head in! Thankfully it doesn't need to be straight.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Just Because

Sharing my Journal layout and tag for Scrapbookingncraft with you.

I used my Altered Diary again as my preferred journal for my project.
My favourite part is the woman that I blended in perfectly to the page - traced the mask onto cardstock then adhered napkin and cut out then carefully lined up to page and adhered. I then gave her a shadow using Black Aquarellable Pencil.

The Scrapbookingncraft products I used on this project with links are:

Distressed Grid and Splats Stencil
A4 Face Rosie Large Stencil
Coffee Words Café Coffee Cups Beans Paper Napkin
Chipboard word Just Because
Black Cardstock City Sky Scrapers Buildings Borders Small

I hope you it and are inspire to create with some of Scrapbookingncraft products Don't forget to share with us when you do. Feel free to tag me.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

No Rules

Mixed Media Monday 2024 and my next page of my Junk Journal Planner which is the 1st page of June. 

I am in love with this page!

I used left over papers from Scrapping Clearly's Sweet Kiwi Foundations pack from my Alchemist Junk Journal classes last year. The flower was from a mystery box I was lucky enough to win from Scrapping Clearly last month.

The tag and sentiment cardstock are leftovers from a class I did last year from a Hillbilly Virtual Retreat.

Another girl I found on Pintrest and printed off.  

I must admit that some days I truly surprise myself with my arty creations and am loving this journey I decided to go on with my planner!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Whimsical Birdcages Birthday Tag

Have you seen the wonderful designs over at Christine's Etsy Shop AandJjDesigns yet?
(If you prefer Shopify, she has opened up there as well AandJjDesigns.)
I am excited to be a part of her Creative Team and to inspire you along the way. I will share links to the Etsy Shop to keep it simpler for me.

My first project I have made a Birthday tag for my daughter. Her card I will share in a few days time when she has received it.

I have used the Whimsical Birdcages Clip Art file.

After choosing my cage, I printed it twice the same size. The first print I used one of my Tag Dies and cut out. The second print I fussy cut the berries and then smaller owl. I adhered with foam tape to sit up from the original image tag. I then applied Glossy Accents onto them to make them pop. Once dry, I added some sari ribbon and tied in a bow.

As an added bonus - the Etsy Shop is currently having a 50% off Sale, so click on the link and grab your cages!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 39

I created a double journal page layout using this month's Challenge Image pack Pieces of Me by Michelle Grant for my second February Inspiration Post for Michelle's Creative Warriors.

I used the A5 black and white image and fussy cut her out. 

I adhered some coloured background paper from the pack on the right side of the page and then adhered my girl on top. 

I coloured my girl using my Neo II crayons.

I coloured the rest of my blank pages with black acrylic paint and added some white and blended in to give a smoky shadowy feel. My saying was then added.

Lastly, I doodled around the saying with my white gel pen and called it done.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Beautiful Day

Mixed Media Monday 2024 .... I started doing this at the beginning of the year as a way to complete the pages of my Junk Journal Planner which I shared in January. 

Here is my 8th page - 2nd page for May.

I have to say I am loving them and getting to use up papers and ephemera from my stash!

I am also using stamps and stencils I have had a while and never touched. So a win win all round I must say.

This one I have used Nana's Kitchen papers and paper elements from Mintay - again, leftover packs from a retreat last year.

My girl I found on Pintrest and printed off. I really think she fits in with the quote really well.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

50th Birthday Cruise

I thought it was about time I started to scrap some of our Cruise photos.....we are about to go on our 6th Cruise so I have plenty to do!

I have my first photo on a card so it can flip up with a second photo and some journaling.

 

It's a pretty simple layout using Uniquely Creative's Tropical Dreams papers. I fussy cut some elements out to pop on foam tape to lift off the page as well as Glossy Accents on the mini Anchor.

I also added some ink flicks for interest using Colour Blast Lush and Sunflower Shimer Mica Powders.

This was our first cruise and we met some lovely people that we are still friends with today!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Craftiness is Happiness

Sharing my Journal layout for Scrapbookingncraft with you.

I used my Altered Diary again for my project.  
On the left page, I coloured my  Art Journal Mixed Media Cardstock Face with Art Supplies using Paint Pens for the elements and my Pheonix Watercolour pans on her face. Once it was all dry I adhered to the painted page.
On the right side, I used  Chipboard Word Craftyness is Happyness and White Mixed Media Light Bulbs Tiny that I coloured with my Gold Paint Pen.

I hope you like it. 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

I could be wrong....

My Junk Journal Planner for 2024 is coming along very nicely.

Here is my 2nd page for April that I created for this months Challenge over at Paper Craft Secrets Facebook Group. This month the Challenge is "Flowers".

I used up a heap of leftover ephemera lying around and on my desk!

To start with, my page already had the 2 blue modelling pastes through my girl stencil by Scrap FX as well as scraped around it in the second shade. This paste was leftover the other month during a project, so I opened my journal, as you do, and added it so I had a start when I came to this page. There was too much to just waste.

So because I had the start of it being blue as well, I looked around my desk and close by and got some Mintay Mediterranean Heaven Die Cuts left over from a Paper Craft Party day last year as well as odds and ends to complete my page.

Lol, I have no idea what I was thinking when I scraped that modelling paste around her....anyway, I do love how my page turned out.

 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 38

I created a double journal page layout using the Wisdom Art Image pack  by Annette Gearside for my first February Inspiration Post for Michelle's Creative Warriors.

I used one of Michelle's coloured images and fussy cut some extra flowers to add around her neck and head. 
I used a stencil from Bee Arty onto tissue paper and adhered to my pages leaving a strip on the right hand side page. In this gap, I used the Round About stencil designed by Michelle Grant for Bee Arty and have stencilled with Distress Oxide Inks straight onto my page to take away the blankness, blending it out into the tissue paper.

My owl and flowers are from Annette's pack. I fussy cut these and adhered onto page and then coloured using some of my Colour Blast mica powders.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
