WOYWW #874

  

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #874

Here is my workdesk:




To the left you can see my Gel plate as I am in the process of making some backgrounds.
To the right I am making some junk journal ephemera - sort of little slides.

On the desk easel there are two journal pages and on the smaller one that finished 30 prompt collage.



These both featured images from Conjurer of Dreams.


I also work on my computer desk and I thought I would also share that today.


I decided I needed a second screen - I always used to have one but it must have been disposed of in one of the moves. Very useful. You can also see my Cricut Maker and Joy. On the light box is my printer - it is currently pretty high up but will see how that goes...


That's all for today...

Happy WOYWW! I promise to get around all of you this week... hopefully it won't be too late.

Here's my Christmas project...for the Challenge #512 at Addicted to Stamps and More

My card uses a white card base, a mat of designer paper followed by an stamped image in Versafine Clair Nocturne on white. I picked this stamp up in a charity shop a few days ago.

 then added colour with makers.


 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

More Collage Play

 Having finished another 30 Days of Collage

I decided to use my Art by Marlene tiny journal (4 by 4 inches) to do 6 Collages in 60 minutes - a free workshop by Collage -Lab.

These are my results:


1. Strata, neutral, tear.


2. Radial, Focal image.



3. Grid


4. Cruciform.


5. Landscape - back, middle, foregrounds.


6. Colour Palette - warm or cool.

Then I decided to do another 30 Days of collage:

These were the prompts also from Collage-Lab in 2024.


I started with an A3 piece of substrate and these are some of the photos of the process:

I saved the pages from my last two tiny calendars and used some of these to make my grid - prompt #1.

First seven prompts:


Second seven prompts:

Third seven prompts:

To the end!

12 Months of Christmas Link Up March 2026

 




  


This is my DT make for the August Challenge

This month the theme is "Peppermint Twist"
Our sponsor is


Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this: - how pretty are the colours?
 I couldn't choose just one!!


I started with a beige card blank and then matted it with 5 of the papers printed and cut to decreasing sizes of squares. I added the sentiment to the final square (Imagine That Digistamps - no longer trading).

Conjurer of Dreams March Challenges

        

I am sharing a little of my makes the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

You will see more of these, made with Conjurer Of Dreams images, on the 29th of the month. However the optional month's challenge is Mystical Animals




This is a glimpse of one of my makes: a Lunar New Year Fan... I was shown the idea of the fan construction in a swap group I am a member of Junk Journal Creative Swaps in OZ
It can be used as a pocket in a junk journal by just gluing two sides down and also as tucks in each blade.




See more on the 29th!
