Winter Critters

Today I am sharing my Winter Critter projects for Conjurer of Dreams. https://www.facebook.com/groups/690288322484648 First up I created a 12x12 layout combining the winter barn with the majestic bucks Kim Rayko created for me as prize pack.




This was followed by 2 collages - 1 featuring the winter barn with the beautiful wolf and the other showcasing the steampunk polar bears.



For my exploding canvas I used the Vintage Blue Winter background with the filigree deer.



Of course my projects wouldn't be complete without cards - so I showcased the Forest Santa and the Steampunk polar bears!!




Remember to create like crazy and cut with wild abandon!!!

Enjoy!!!

Witch Wisdom

 Today is my day for Witch Wisdom over on Conjurer of Dreams. I had fun layering and using the potion notes in conjunction with the casting witches, emerald forest witches and stash elements to make new art journal additions.





Of course Halloween cards were in order and again I layered the steampunk witches, watercolour witches, casting witches and emerald forest witches with stash pieces.






Enjoy. You can find the images at the links below.

GG All Things Dark and Beautiful

 Today I get to share my DT projects for our All things dark and beautiful theme. First up is a piece of lighted up decor piece I made from birch bark - I found the birch bark on the beach last summer.



From there a first for me - a 6x6 album with disc binding.



This wall hanging and collage will now be part of my Halloween decor and the mirror well that was just for fun.




I wrapped it all up with a spooky tag and cards. Enjoy!
