Just Journal January 2023 - Day 5

Day 5 prompt for Just Journal : Loaded.

I had fun creating my loaded page!

First I adhered a napkin on my page for my main background. This is from one of my Your Creative Studio Subscription boxes. Also from there, I added some paper, a tag and ticket.

My Latte spot tuck and Coffee pocket are using a digital paper by Lilli Rain Designs called Vintage Coffee Papers Set 1. 

I got the sewing machine out and stitched the sides of my Coffee pocket and then added a ticket and a clip with a lovely flower from Ephemoire to bring it all together.

Love it, and using up more of my stash which is my aim this year!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 29

Day 29 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Green, Mustard and Blue

An Affirmation Quote: Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

An element:  Flowers

I used a Distress Oxide Spray ink and a Dylusions Spray ink through a stencil.

Then I got out my tin of ephemera from Ephemoire when I was on her Design Team and created some clusters for my layout.

My saying is another Art By Marlene Sticker Quote.

I really love how it turned out and combing the ephemera onto my pages.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

This is Halloween Challenge

A new month, so a new challenge starting over at This is Halloween.

This is Halloween is a Halloween and/or Gothic themed Monthly Challenge.

So both themes are accepted all year round!

This month I made two cards.

I grabbed a couple of my embossing folders out, these two are by Sizzix.

Cut some card stock slightly smaller than my card front, still in black and put through my Big Shot to get a great card front.

I used some ephemera by Ephemoire and some by Tim Holtz.

I used my Black Soot distress ink and sponged the edges of  images and adhered onto my embossed card with glue and foam dots.

I then adhered this onto my card front.

I love the effect of the embossing for my backgrounds.

I hope you get a chance to play along with us - enter here.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Rockabilly Altered Card

Full Deck Challenge 2 - Card 6.

The prompts are out and they are: Sheet Music, Black Mark Making, Flower/s and Turquoise.

Was easy to grab some music sheet scraps from my stash to pop on the card.

I then used my Turquoise Neo II Crayon and coloured some of the card and moved it around with some water. I then grabbed my Black Neo II crayon and made my black marks.

Lastly, I adhered my Rockabilly girls with her flowers. My image in by Ephemoire and is aprt of her Rockabilly collection.

I am pretty happy with how she turned out.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Vintage Valentine Card Challenge

Traci over at Ephemoire has a Vintage Valentine Card Challenge happening.

She has supplied two card fronts to use and then you do the rest.

Here are my two.

I had a bit of fun colouring parts of them. 

The lampshade I printed twice and fussy cut to adhere with foam dots to give some dimension.

They were quite fun to do.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

2021 Cat Lovers Hop

Have you joined in the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop this year yet?.

Here is my 2nd project

I used an image and words from the 3' Note Cards and Envelope set by Ephemoire.

I fussy cut and adhered to my Planner - just perfect, and cute to boot!

LOL, I don't get too fancy in my planner as my shifts keep getting switched around on me so I am forever crossing out, etc.....maybe next year as I am working on changing roles where this won't happen as much...fingers crossed!

Don't forget to leave me a comment to be in the chance to win some super prizes.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Wicked Witches Loaded Pocket

I made a loaded pocket for some Halloween Tags using the Wicked Witches Union Membership Card

ATC file and the Something Wicked #1 Digital Papers. Both are by Ephemoire.

I sponged the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added some ribbons from my stash.

Halloween isn't that far away from us now at all is it!

This perfect for Septembers This is Halloween Challenge .

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Halcyon Journal

Showcasing my Journal today I made using 3 of the Halcyon files from Ephemoire.

I used the #1 Digital Paper set, Journal Card & Pocket set, as well as the Mini Folder & Journal Cards set.

Oh my, I am very happy with the end result, and love those blue and bronze bits of lace my from stash.

Tried a few new things and happy to have learnt from them and be able to plan using them again.

It's great to try and re purpose somethings to make it more yours!

Give it a go and see where the journey takes you.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Wicked Vixens

Time for some Snarky Witches I say!

I had a lot of fun creating these cards and ATC's using the Wicked Vixens Volume #1 file from Ephemoire.

I decided on a black and orange theme ready for Halloween.

I grabbed out my Stamping Up Embossing Powders and had a look through my embossing folders and found one I could use both side of the embossing with.

I also tried out a new intricate die I got from a mystery box which I must say I would never have bought myself, but had worked just great here. (that's what I love about mystery boxes - always find something that surprises me)

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Rockabilly Foldover Tag Kit

Another Rockabilly file by Ephemoire is the Foldover Tag Kit.

I used one of the papers from the paper set and created my own  pocket folder to pop them in.

A piece of lace from my stash and a lovely pocket folder for one of my journals, or as a gift.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Rockabilly Swimsuit Tags

Have you seen the Rockabilly files over at Ephemoire?

They are so very retro and so much fun.

This first lot are the Swimsuit tags! I fell in love with these tags the moment I saw them and just had to go and buy them to have a play.

I could see them on the hangers of a bridal party dresses, or just as cool on the straw of a cocktail!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Painted Woodland Watercolor Fauxdori TN Insert Pages

Here I am thinking outside the box again....

I decided that the pages in the Painted Woodland Watercolor Fauxdori TN Insert Pages file by Ephemoire were to nice not to show them off.

First of all I used the File Folders Die by Uniquely Creative to die cut folders from each page.

Then I sponged the edges with of course, Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Once I had that, I needed something to hold them in.

So I used another Uniquely Creative Die called Cut-A-Part Essentials #4 and adhering one of the papers to a cardstock sheet, I die cut it. I then laminated it and die cut it again carefully lining it up.

Now, I realised once I had done that, that I should have just die cut it all in one go - you live and learn hey.

Anyway, they all fit in very nicely and I will put in my planner as a Birthday File - you could use it for coupons, gift cards, stamps, ephemera, or whatever.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Faded Foliage Journal

Using Ephemoire's Faded Foliage Journal Kit, I had fun constructing this one.

It's a bit of a long post, but the pages are beautiful that is for sure.

I created my own TN Cover using some cardstock. 

Everything was sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give it an aged look. 

I added some lace to my cover and ribbons to the tags. 

I altered some paperclips for interest and used some papers from Painted Woodland Fauxdori Tn Inserts to create some extra pieces. 

There is plenty of space for journaling and most of the pages I love just as they are.  

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
