Fairy Godmother's Wardrobe - Part One

(Heads up: this will be a post in two parts. Showing off today, and a follow up how-to for some of the wee bits inside.)

I've been sitting on this project for a couple of weeks. I received an Unfinished Wooden Wardrobe and had a few ideas. I thought of a magical portal, storage for a saucy burlesque star, something pink and filly and Marie Antoinette. Why not all rolled up into one?! A fairy godmother wardrobe!

As you may know, I am a big fan of fairy godmothers. They must, absolutely MUST, lead the most interesting lives. I am sure they are usually helpful, a little scatterbrained, enjoy a good drink and have amazing adventure stories from their younger days.

I gussied up the exterior of the wardrobe with pink paint and glitter and Courtship Lane East Plaza Scrapbook Paper. Then I set to filling it with magic and a few secrets.

There are books about magic and kissing frogs and toads, a tea pot and postcard memories. Godmotherly magazines. Pumpkins appear throughout (I've given them a wash of orange to add more colour.) 

There's bottles of pixie dust and magic, posters and seed packets.

Cherished photos stuck to the mirror and post-it notes to remember to reserve a spot at the ball!

All of the paper items, the book covers, magazines, postcards, photos, labels, posters are from my new collage sheet "Fairy Godmothers Cupboard"

The sheet also includes a set of love letters and envelopes and a template to create panties, stockings and a corset... because of course, OF COURSE, fairy godmothers would have romantic memories and adventures!

My next blog post will show you how to put all those piece to good use and create those little bits. 

Seriously, everyone needs to have tiny panties!

So, get your thinking caps on! Think all the thoughts! Gather up a history of adventure and love to create your own fairy godmother cupboard.

Here are all the bits I used if you see some ideas you fancy from my wardrobe...
