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!

ICAD 2021 # Day 14 Word Cloud

Word Cloud - how simple is this prompt, which is just as well as I'm a bit time poor today!

I used the last of my inky backgrounds and grabbed some markers.

I started with "Crafter" and then just added words as to what I use in my crafting.

Easy!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 13 Dice

Oh I had a bit of fun with today's prompt for ICAD 2021 - Dice.

Bahahaha I was going ok until I mentioned to my hubby that I didn't have any dice for my chess pieces by Unity Stamps and I was thinking of a Game of Thrones idea.....well, clearly I don't play chess and no, they don't use dice! I was thinking of droughts, or anyway, whatever!!!!

So then I had to find my Game of Thrones stamp sets by Kindred Stamps - yep, turned my craftroom upside down, did some sorting and bugger me, found them 2 hours later looking for something else to use!

Ok, so a quick search for a suitable quote to print on tissue paper, and colour my chess pieces with Distress Inks. Stamp my Throne and finally got it finished!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 12 Fairytale

Ok, Day 12 Fairytale has so much we can do, but where do we start?

Well it just has to be Alice in Wonderland doesn't it? 

I don't recall a fairytale with a Unicorn in it?

My top strip is a piece of Washi Tape by Daisyland called The Cat Turntable.

My paper and die cut are both by Stamperia from their Alice collection.

I just Love the Mad Hatter - big fan of the Johnny Depp portrayal. 

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Wonder

This week #MondayPrompt Project is all about handwriting.

Mine is not the neatest or appealing, but this weeks class is great as you get to smudge and hide some of it!

I used my Neo II Crayons and Black Aquarellable pencil by Stabilo for my background, writing and drawing.

A page from an old novel and black gel pen.

I had a lot of fun creating this layout and love the outcome.

I have missed some of the weeks, but I do make the effort to create the ones that appeal to me. I might do the others at a later date if I have the time......we are all  time poor these days that is for sure!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

ICAD 2021 # Day 11 Library

Oh an interesting prompt for Day 11 - Library.

I started with the dictionary for the prompt word meaning.

Then looking through some books I keep for journaling purposes, I  found this picture of the London Library in one of them and thought it was perfect for today's prompt. I did have to cut it down a bit, but still it is perfect.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

#jjec 61 Stain / Tuckspot

I know I have been a bit hit and miss with posting my #jjec project here on my blog, but I do them every week on my Instagram page.

With doing the ICAD each day again this year, it's easy to remember to pop these here as well.

So this week we have Stain and Tuckspot.

So I grabbed my Milled Lavender Distress Spray Stain by Tim Holtz and Fresh Lime Ink Spray by Dylusions.

I sprayed my backing page and two tags. Once they dried, I sprayed them again to add some more colour and splashes.

My tags I decided to put coloured safety pins instead of ribbon for a change.

I also decided to doodle on my tags for a change. I used white fluid acrylic paint.

My tuckspot is a collage piece I made a few months back with Wanderlust - we made one big page and cut up into smaller sizes to use at a later date - just like now.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
