Morgan's ArtWorld Blog Challenge #96

 This month I am designing a scrapbook page but for personal reasons it is only a work in progress.  I have used Morgan's image "Angel 1".  This is my first scrapbook page after a long absence and gives me an opportunity to tell a friend how I love her. I have coloured the angel with coloured pencils and a Nuvo shimmer brush.  

I am going to concentrate in 2026 on scrapbooking a bit more so hoping I can use a lot of my kits and supplies in my stash.  I certainly do not need to buy anything!  I know that is what we all say!

This is also my last creative team project for Morgan's ArtWorld.  My life is full of more trips to my Mum's which is two hours away and she won't budge from her home.  My husband is not well, and I will be busier when he comes home from hospital.  I cannot commit to design teams at this stage.

I would like to thank Morgan and our dear Creative Team Co-ordinator, Sherry as well as the friends I have made in the team.  I have had a fun time designing with Morgan's images and I hope you will continue to check her shop out when you are searching on the internet.

 December already, I am sure as we get older, the years go quicker!  This month for my inspiration I have chosen to work with "1920 Regency Christmas".  I have coloured this image with coloured pencils. 

The background is digital images from A and Jj Designs and I have also added sequins and wooden holly.

Morgan's ArtWorld Blog Challenge #93

 Welcome to my post for the Morgan's ArtWorld Blog Challenge for October 2025.  Can you believe how fast this year is going?  Did someone forget to tell us there is now less than 24 hours in a day?

Today I am showcasing "Ducklings - colouring page".  I have coloured the images with pencils and mounted it on the background with foam tape.  I have used a white square card base and the background is an image from A. & Jj Designs Fantasy Florals.

 Thank you to Sherry West Art for September's image.  I chose to do a journal page revolving around eyes.  Here is my creation.

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
