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!

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!

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!

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!

Exhale, Inhale Tag / Bookmark

Well hello again!

I previously showed you my Toy Soldier's Cutlery Holders and Journal page Christmas Dinner for Scrapbookingncraft. 

Today I am sharing with you a tag I made that could be used as a bookmark as well.

For my tag, I used a chipboard piece from a mixed pack I got - looks to me to be a Lotus shape and coloured it with gold acrylic paint.

I used 2 shades of blue acrylic paint to start my background on my tag. I then used a 3rd blue with the Rock Pools stencil and gold acrylic paint with the Small Squares Distressed stencil.

I then used the Square Set of foam stamps to add some more interest.

I adhered the lotus and then doodled the words exhale, inhale going in and out from my lotus.

I added some gold acrylic paint to the edges of my tag.

Lastly I added some sari ribbon and my tag is complete to gift or use as a bookmark.

I am loving those blues!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Joy Scrapbook Layout

Well hello again!

My last December project for Scrapbookingncraft is a bright Sunflower inspired layout.

Can you believe that is year is just about over already! It really has just flown by so quickly.

On this layout I have used the Repeating Circles stencil, Mixed Up Honeycomb stencil along with one of the White Mixed Media Cardstock small Distress Filmstrip from Scrapbookingncraft.

I used the stencils on tissue paper as well with texture paste mixed with mica powder and put through the stencil.

I used a few distress inks to grunge up my filmstrip.

I hope you are inspired to get out your craft supplies and get crafty in 2024!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Nutcracker Napkin ideas

Well hello again!

Time for my next project for Scrapbookingncraft, and with Christmas just around the corner, I thought I would make some Cutlery Holders for Christmas Dinner.

I mean seriously, how stinkin cute are they! and super easy to make.

I used one of Alexis' Christmas Toy Soldiers Assorted Sizes Paper Napkins from the Scrapbookingncraft Shop along with a die and stamp set from Jaded Blossom.

So while I was playing with the napkin, I decide to also do a page in my Junk Journal.

My toy soldiers are on two different types of tea bags. So cool to see the different effects.

I used the Double Daisy 6 x 4 stencil to add some interest behind my stamped sentiment.

And seeing that one is a pocket, I made some tags to pop in them.

My nice sparkly baubles are 2 of the 4 White Mixed Media cardstock Bauble Swirls (small) set that I have used Glittered embossing powder and heat set. Love how they turned out.

If I have you looking at your napkins in a different way at Christmas, let me know, and be sure to share what you did with them!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 32

My first project for November to inspire you as a blue layout using Michelle's Seeker Art Image pack.

I coloured my girls with distress inks, fussy cut and adhered to my background.
I used some stencils and foam stamps from Scrapbookingncraft to create my background with 3 shades of blue acrylic paints.

I doodled a border with black ink pen and wrote the quote as well.

I really love how the pages turned out.

Don't forget to share with us any of your projects over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see them.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Scrapbookingncraft Design Team

Oh I am super excited to be able to say I am now on Mel's Design Team for Scrapbookingncraft. Super excited to be supporting an Australian Small Business in these difficult times.
Mel has so many stencils, napkins and both chipboard and cardstock embellishments for any craft projects. If you are not familiar with her products, jump over to the facebook page or website and have a look around.

Here's my first project, a Scrapbook Page layout.....I know right, me and Scrapbooking! I am loving the adventure I have to say.

I used the Strips Tree Branches stencil, a small Black Cardstock City Sky Scrapers Buildings Borders and a Chipboard Word "Living the Best Life".

My second project, I used one of Alexis' cute as Napkin sets and decorated a gift box and made a matching card.

OMG how cute is the Christmas Panda Toucan Monkey Sloth With Santa Hats. You get 2 napkins which gives you 8 panels total!
I used 2 panels on my gift box and adhered using Gel Medium. One panel directly on my box lid and the other onto cream card stock slightly smaller than the lid. A piece of ribbon and then foam dots for dimension and onto lid. Using Glitter Embossing powder, I stamped my sentiment and heat embossed on both the box lid and my matching card as well. I sanded around the edges on my card to give it a more weathered (okay, nuthouse) look.

I hope I have inspired you with my creations this month and look forward to sharing with you again next month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
