WOYWW # 821

 

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

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 #821 




My desk shows that I managed to find some more Mattints to add to my collection and also a Versafine Nocturne which I have been looking for for a while - this ink pad seems to sell out first!
On my desk easel is a journal page using another image from the
 Conjuror of Dreams Progressive image Challenge. 


The journal I have ben using in one of three I made with upholstery fabric on the outside - I am trying to use up all the pages!!


I might then further decorate the covers...

I am now onto the 8th image in this Conjuror of Dreams challenge having also used the following three; another journal page and a card.


This third is another journaling card hidden in an envelope.


On Friday morning, my intention was to get up early and join the UKSN Zoom craft and chat. I was a little bit late!
However Jo led a workshop in collage - so I made this, using magazine paper.


and then later used this master board in these flowers.


Last week Spyder told us about a folded journaling space from an idea by Treasure Books - so I decided to make one!





I have just shown a couple of the pages.

Another think I have been doing is covering envelopes with serviettes.
This was from a you tube video here


All for now... it been 34 degrees today, so I am pleased it has begun to cool down!


Happy WOYWW!

February Gecko Galz Freebie Challenges Round Up

                  

    These are the challenges with freebie images. I am adding my make following each one:


I started with a glossy green card blank, added a paper from my stash, then the image and sentiments matted on green.



This time I started with a silver card blank matted with a blue paper from my stash. I added the decoupaged image and a strip of washi.






A Tag: the image is decoupaged. I added various scraps of card, lace and ribbon from my stash.



A journal page with the image an a paper from Bee Arty. I also used heather gloss spray to add the drips.



Using the various backgrounds and images and scraps or orange card.






I cut a photo card blank with my Cricut in brown, with an oval aperture. I cut a designer paper with the same oval to go on the front and an oval frame. Placing the image behind the oval, I added washi around the edges.  I finally added some fabric flowers which link with the colours in the image, paper and washi.

WOYWW #820

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

My desk still has my Wanderlust week 3 om the desk easel - need to catch up still!

In the front there is a large journal and a junk journal I made.
They both have fabric covers that I put together at the beginning.



In the large journal I produced this page using just the three Mattints I have.


This also used the face from Michelle Grant Designs and stamps from Visible Image.

In the small journal I have added several pages.


The first one is the third part of the Conjuror of Dreams Progressive image Challenge. The first two used these freebie images - a card and another journal page:




This next journal page uses one of the freebie images from the Conjuror of Dreams Blog

I decided to add the gothic Valentine poem by William Blake.


I will add this to the Conjuror of Dreams Free image Challenge

I have also been making tags using Gecko Galz freebies:



I forgot to mention - my computer failed last week and I had to get a new one. I am now catching up on things with a 'clean machine'. Unfortunately not everything was backed up...


Happy WOYWW!
