Vintage Fantasy

This month I have done another layout in my altered book, as well as 2 ATC size cards.

I used Masquerade Party Girl and Victorian Lovlies by Gecko Galz to hopefully inspire you!

I used a few pages from my Your Creative Studio stash, along with my stash of washi tapes for my backgrounds.

On my journal page I added some modeling paste through a stencil and then Vintage Photo Distress ink watered down so it would blend into my page.

I also used some of my Tim Holtz ephemera. 

My term is up on the Gecko Galz Design Team and I have decided to step down.

I have enjoyed my 2 years as a part of the team and hope I have given you some inspiration along the way.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors 2022 Calendar - April

If you have Michelle's Creative Warriors 2022 Calendar, you can repurpose the months and enter the Challenge over on the Facebook page.

I adore this image from Michelle Grant, which is the April spread.

I used a few of my washi tapes from Your Creative Studio, along with some book pages to create my background.

To fill in the gaps, I used my distress paints in coordinating colour that Michelle used.

Added some stamping and splots.

Lastly I used a saying from Michelle Grant Design by Karen Yates - Little Word Bits #2.

I hope you like it, although I don't blog too much these days, I still create, and admit I am more likely to pop it on my Instagram account as it is much quicker.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Just Journal January 2023 - Day 7

Day 7 prompt for Just Journal : Layers.

I  got my Your Creative Studio subscription boxes out and used some post it notes to create my main background. 

Then I created my first ever Snippet Strip! I layered up some scraps off my table and added some beautiful mixed media circles that were gifted to me in a ATC Swap. I got the sewing machine out and stitched down the centre, and then adhered to my page.

I think it fits the prompt perfectly!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

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!

I grabbed my Your Creative Studio subscription boxes out again - September and October, and used various ephemera bits and papers to create my collages.

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 12

So we have 3 colours: Coral, Cream and Apricot

An Affirmation Quote: Life isn't about finding Yourself, It's about creating Yourself

An element: Vintage

I love how my layout turned out.

I am enjoying trying these colour combinations that I normally would steer clear of!

I used some acrylic paints with a Finnabair stencil.

Then I got my September Subscriptions box out by Your Creative Studio and created my collages. Once I had worked out how it was all going to go with my girl, I adhered down. I also used some washi tape and rub-ons from 49 and Market.

My girl is from the Art Image pack called Silent by Michelle Grant

I then added my sentiment from the Add-on Pack  Little Words #3 by Karen Yates.

Lastly, some white splatters.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 10

Day 10 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Blue, Grey and Navy

An Affirmation Quote: Flow with your Creative Spirit

An element: Birds

I was short on time yesterday but I did manage to get this page done and posted on the facegroup page last night. I just forgot to blog it!

Anyway, because I was short on time, I decide to actually use some the ephemera from my September Subscription box from Your Creative Studio. This is my first box with them and I love it!

I also fussy cut my fantastic bird from a Daphne's Diary postcard.

I used some Distress Oxide Ink Refill for my splatters.

I really enjoyed creating this page and it's been something I have wanted to do for awhile now so I am glad I did it! 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
