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!

Dreams Take Flight

 Here are my September - Let your Dreams Take Flight - DT projects.

I really utilized a number of collections and had such a blast at how things came together. First up I did a 12x12 layout featuring Steampunk Lass, Vintage Road Map and images from Steampunk backgrounds. The 4 collages that follow feature Desert Dreams, Old West Ghosts, Eerie Wheat Fields, Rusty Trucks, Steampunk Wedding Couple, Ghost Dance and Vintage Ephemera. I also used a wooden frame and scraps from my stash. I finished up with two cards showcasing Gypsy Art. And to think I really had no idea what to make this month. LOL

Stay Wild Moon Child

My day over on the Gecko Galz blog to feature my Stay Wild Moon Child projects.

First up I altered my clock face with the gorgeous image from the Stay Wild Moon Child collage sheet.

Next up, I created a 12x12 layout featuring one of the gorgeous images from the Moon Magic Image kit.

After that, I created a 7x7 mini album by blowing up three images from the Stardust mini junk journal.

But I didn't stop there as I added this very cool page to my art jounrnal, created a collage and a card front.

And finally, I combined the tags from the Stardust mini junk journal with more images from the Stay Wild Moon Child collage sheets.
