Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #14 "Red, White & Gold Valentines"
Hello there! Today I'm sharing my DT project for Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #14
"Red, White & Gold Valentines"
I created a little valentine loaded pocket/tag that you can stuff with little goodies, photos, etc. I used some digitals from my collections and fussy cut them out, added gold highlights using a shimmer pen, gold flower and ribbon. There are two pockets that you can slide your photos in or even a little love note if you desire :)
The Paper Dragonfly DT didn't have a sponsor this month, so we were able to utilize our craft stash which is a good thing since I'm still trying to organize my new space!

Thanks for stopping by and as always, hoping you can find some time in your day to craft just for the fun of it!

Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #13 "Party Time"
Hey there crafty friends! Today I'm sharing my DT project for Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #13
"Party Time"
Nothing implies "party time" for me better than New Year's Eve and I've been in a pink and sparkly kind of mood lately so these digitals were perfect. I'm hoping for a refresh this 2023, and hope everyone is off to a fun, happy and healthy start!
The Paper Dragonfly DT didn't have a sponsor this month, but our theme fits right in with this holiday celebratory season.
Materials Used:
Digital images from Design Lover Studio on Etsy
Lots of sparkle and bubbly :)

Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #12 "Merry Craftmas"
Hello! Today I'm sharing my DT project for Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #12
"MERRY CRAFTMAS"
My inspiration for this project came from the "Crafty Sandy Oddleigh" digital stamp from Leigh SBDesigns who is also sponsoring this month's challenge.
For this challenge I created a gift card holder and wish list notepad using the Crafty Sandy Oddleigh digital image. Crafty Sandy is peeking out from under the "mistletoe" and there are pockets to hold a gift card and a few other goodies. Crafty Sandy is mounted on the card which slides out and the backside of the card is a notepad that the recipient could use for making their wish list when they head out to the craft store for more supplies.
Materials Used:
LeighSBDesigns digital image: "Crafty Sandy Oddleigh"
CTMH "Christmas Story" paper and embellishments
Copics and glitter pens
mini gems, and other embellishment fr. my stash

Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #11: Autumn/Fall Dragonflies
Today I'm sharing my DT project for Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #11
AUTUMN/FALL DRAGONFLIES
My inspiration for this project came from the gorgeous digi collection of dragonfly themed papers, Fall/Autumn sentiments and flower images from this month's challenge sponsor
I created a card using some of these lovely digital images. The palette for the background paper I chose was so soft and dreamy, not your typical fall colors, but so lovely!
I decided to use my chalk pastels again to color the flower image in keeping with the soft pink and coral tones. The pink wax seal on top of a fairy image in her garden seemed to fit right in, looks a bit pinker in the photo but I thought it went nicely with the colors in the dragonfly background paper.
Materials Used:
Papers, floral images and sentiment from We R 3
Kraft colored card base
Chalk pastels: pink, coral, green hues
Gold shimmer pen from CTMH
Jelly Roll Pen-clear star
Ribbon from my stash
Wax seal stamped with fairy image

Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #10 SPOOKTACULAR
Today I'm sharing my DT project for Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge #10
SPOOKTACULAR
My inspiration for this project came from the "Stack 'O Carved Pumpkins" digital art stamps from Leigh SBDesigns who is also sponsoring this month's challenge.
It was fun creating this spooky Halloween shaker card and breaking out some of my old markers, but when I realized I didn't have an orange marker I had to get creative using my rusty hinge distress ink with yellow marker and an orange chalk pastel.
This card will look festive on it's own or tucked into a trick or treat gift bag.
Materials Used:
LeighSBDesigns digital images: "Stack 'O Pumpkins"
Martha Stewart Halloween themed paper
Echo Park paper- arsenic & lace
CTMH shaker window foam and acetate
Tim Holtz distress ink- rusty hinge
Promarkers: soft green, cinnamon, tulip yellow
Copic marker-black
Jelly Roll pen- clear star
Posca pen-white
CTMH gold shimmer brush
sequins
CTMH dragonfly stamped on vintage book paper
I'll leave you with a glimpse of another card I created to tuck into my Halloween album using "Fae Folk" digitals from LeighSBDesigns. Not for this challenge, but I loved this image so much I just had to have a play at making a digital creation too!

Time Flies Paper Collage
Hi there! Sharing a paper collage I created for one of my calendar inserts in my daily carry travelers notebook. I use several travelers notebook style journals and enjoy embellishing the covers to create my own look. I buy blank notebooks and then embellish them as I wish. It's so fun and allows for a lot of creative experimentation.
I loved the theme "Time Flies" for the cover on my calendar. Very fitting don't you think? I just learned that the old saying "time flies when you are having fun" was actually a quote from Albert Einstein. I must be having a ton of fun because time is certainly flying by!
Thanks for taking the time to visit!

Little Buzzy Bee Book
%20(1).jpg)
I'm working on a new journal but got side-tracked. Couldn't resist this adorable mini book kit from My Porch Prints Etsy! Everthing you need to create this super cute little book! I added some handmade paper, laces and embellishments, and used my favorite gold shimmer brush pen to add some honey-gold accents and a little brass bee charm dangle. So much fun I may need to make another soon!
There are three signatures sewn in to the book cloth binding and the book has 60 pages front and back with lots of fun surprises and embellishments. This mini junk journal measures 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
I'll try to post a few pics of the inside of the journal, but I fell in love with this cover and can think of so many uses already for it for other projects.
Submitting this one in the following challenges:
If interested in a peek, here's a link to a tiktok video. Journal not finished yet in this flip thru.
