Conjurer of Dreams Guest DT

 I was asked by Kim, the owner of Conjurer of Dreams Inspiration Group if I would like to be a guest DT for September.  I jumped at the idea especially when I heard the theme for the month was "Steam Queens".  

My Steam Queens journal is the first project I would like to show you. I have used at least one image from many of the steampunk sets Kim has in the Etsy shop so I will just give you the link for the search of  steampunk.   I have used papers and elements from the Steampunk JJ Kit and also Steampunk Backgrounds  I also used the Aged Papers range and my own coffee/tea stained copy paper.






My second creation also involves Steampunk. I have made a set of 3 ATCs.  I have used 3DSteampunk backgrounds, Steampunk Pets, Photo corners, Steampunk Quirky woman, Steampunk quirky man and Vintage Torn Edge paper frames




My third project is another set of ATCs.  When i bought the Fortune Kitty set, I knew I just had to do a bit of creative work to incorporate some lyrics of The Who! and here they are! I don't know how to add my words to the crystal ball in the set, so I used one I found years ago on Google when needing a crystal ball.  I have used foam tape to lift the crystal balls.



My final creation is my inspiration for an accordion box mini book. I have used quite a few products again.  I started with a white box which I decorated with washi tape., flower and leaves and one of the images from Lady Bugs.  Other products I have used are - Floral Borders clipart, Flower Garden Friends, Cute animal stage acts, Flamingo Fancy Hats, Cute Cats, Spring Morning, some freebies available in the Facebook Group, my sentiment ideas and Gecko Galz sentiments.











I hope you enjoyed looking at my creations and I thank Kim, Carole and all the lovely DT members for my guest spot.

See you again soon,

Gail

Another set of ATCs

 Just what the doctor ordered, another ATC Set for the Conjurer of Dreams July challenges.  another bonus with COD is that you can enter more than one of their challenges if the theme fits.  This set of images is Woodland Swing and because the ATCs are suitable for two of Conjurer of Dreams July challenges, I can enter the July "Anything Goes" Blog challenge with the optional twist of Woodland Wildlife.

Conjurer of Dreams: JULY 2025: Conjurer of Dreams Anything Goes Challenge #10 with Twist of Woodland Wildlife

Conjurer of Dreams

 I have to admit I have been a bit down lately, and not sure why I am crafting when it doesn't help like it used to.  I am determined not to give up completely because I have too much stash.  I need to put a big hole in all this stuff before I clock off.

I decided to look at what challenges were around and decided to enter the Conjurer of Dreams ATC Challenge again.  Small projects will get me motivated again, before I tackle the big creations I have in my head but just can't start.

Here is my ATC set for the challenge using Cool Dogs. I have also used some corners of old x-rays.

 This is my entry for the Conjurer of Dreams June Blog Challenge. I have used Bluebird Nesting.

I will be handing this over at my dear buddy's funeral next week.  On the inside I will be writing the quote I wrote on a card to Zeila once, and the other day I found it while sorting some papers.

                                            "This is my buddy,

                                              This is my friend.

                                              We're sticking together

                                               Clear till the end."
