Conjurer of Dreams Guest Designer

I was delighted to be asked by Kim at Conjuror of Dreams to be a Guest Designer for May.

I made quite a few items using Conjurer Of Dreams images:

The first is an altered wooden angel which I painted gold. (I picked this up in a charity shop).

I then used the image from Art Nouveau Butterfly Girl in layers.

I then added several items to a junk journal. This junk journal was made with several pieces of scrap paper for each page.

This first page was of some Ciao Bella floral paper.

To this I added a fabric corner based on this video

The next page is a brown paper bag - on the reverse is a page using

Stained Glass Tulips

I decoupaged the heads of the flowers.

The next page is some old paper. I added an image from

Forest Path

and then a belly band of dark green with an image from

Steampunk Forest Creatures

I also used images from this to make hidden journalling spaces - one of these is shown in the following pictures.

On the next two pages you can see the back of the green belly band - this used several prints of a freebie from the Facebook Progressive Challenge.

The second belly band uses small prints of images from Playing Card Royalty

These are my hidden journalling spaces.

WOYWW#832 _ Happy 16th Anniversary

    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 #832 and this is my desk:

Can you see my 16th Anniversary ATC in front of my Art by Marlene journal page in the centre?

When I googled 16th Anniversary I got several suggestions for gifts - including wax, silver and peridot.

So I started with a  silver base matted with an embossed lilac piece using a numbers embossing folder. I then added gold wax to this. I then added the 'peridot' gems with a sentiment in beads...

This is my Art By Marlene Journal page from a workshop in that recent retreat.

To the right of my desk on another easel you can see several junk journals - this is one with main image on the cover from Conjurer of Dreams,

However on my desk front you might be able to see parts of a whimsical journal (this was after watching this video)

Happy WOYWW and 16th Anniversary!
