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!

Blessed with You

Can you believe we are in the second month of the new year! I mean really, where has it gone!

Today I am sharing my project for Scrapbookingncraft.

I used one of my favourite stencils (okay, my favourite) Repeating Circles by using my Spray through the stencil onto tissue paper. Once dry I adhered to a cardstock matt. I was given a stamp set that had a great saying, perfect for my husband. "I am Blessed with you at my side", so stamped that in black ink directly onto my tissue. 

Using one of my dies, I cut a frame from black cardstock and adhered over my tissue to give a lovely frame without taking the focus off my stencil work.

I used one of Mel's chipboard pieces Man with Cogs (small) and left it as is, adhering to the side.

Lasty, I adhered this onto my cream card base.

Now I have the perfect card to give hubby for Valentine's Day! Who said it had to be red and flowery!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
