Janette's Monthly Challenge at Dragons Lair Designs!

This kit makes me smile with sunshine when I am playing with it!  That's a pretty cool thing to be able to say about a kit that is sooo inexpensive PLUS Janette is giving away a Freebie addition to the kit on the Dragons Lair Inspiration Blog!!  How cool is that?  Here is my latest (I am addicted to this) play with the fabulous Citrus kit! 


I am making a digital scrapbook of our latest trip to Japan and this kit is working out so well!  I added two photos of my son as photographer and observing the customs of the temple at Ueno Park.

Why not run to the Dragons Lair Inspiration Blog HERE and grab the freebie and then run, well, you may walk if holding scissors! to the Dragons Lair Designs Etsy Store and buy the mini kit "Citrus".  Then create away!  Remember if digital play is not your thing, then these kits make wonderful elements to print out and cut to make cards...anything you want!

And here is my first fun page with this kit :)

Dragons Lair Designs is Back and We are Celebrating the Holidays!

Hi, all!  What a great feeling to be typing up a blog post telling you that Dragons Lair Designs is now back up and running with a store on Etsy with some Christmas goodies plus all kinds of other goodies!  On our Facebook Fan Group which I want to say is an awesome group of ladies who have kept posting and playing our games even when the store was down for a bit due to health problems of Janette, the owner.  These wonderful ladies kept up the Dragonette's spirit and now we have the store open so we are all very happy!

Our December Coloring Challenge came in handy when The 12 Days of Christmas came and went before I even got a project done!  So now on our Fan page you can request the image (a challenge because he is not a Christmas image we are making him so!) and I will send it to you and you have until the end of the year wink wink sounds longer than the end of December doesn't it?? to have a finished project in the photo file!  Here is my little guy all decked out for Christmas!

March Challenge at Dragons Lair Designs "Anything Goes"

March is here and at Dragons Lair Designs Challenge Blog  the theme is "Anything Goes" my very favorite theme!  So no excuses come play with us!  I have been scrapbooking for my late beloved Daddy!  These kits from Dragons Lair Designs Store make it so easy to make memories last a life time for my children and their children. This makes me happy as their Papaw was a funny man who loved his only child, me, like no other dad I have ever seen!


This was from a visit to the plantations in south Louisiana.  Daddy walked through some moss and I said make a wig and of course he did making us all laugh!  That is his legacy one of laughter and love!  This kit was a Showcase Sunday Freebie but at Dragons Lair Designs Store there are lots of masculine kits you can use for dads, sons, and any guy!




Buy, download, then either work with the items digitally, start digitally then print out and complete your crafting as a hybrid project, or print straight out and do your usual papercrafting.

Celebrating Summer at Dragons Lair Designs


Love the "Seaside Retreat" collection from Dragons Lair Designs Store!  So pretty and so many elements to use in mixed media projects, too!  This is another digital layout using another of my dad's pictures from Alabama.  The colors are so gorgeous; the sea breeze is blowing through my hair :)  This kit is perfect for saving all those fun summer memories of the kids while they swim and slip and slide through summer.  Busy moms can go completely digital and pop the pics right into the elements; then type up the details of the day.  Or you can print out all or some of the elements and go hybrid or traditional scrapbooking.  We have something for everyone to fit everyone's schedule!



We'd love to have you join us in our Fan Group and post up some pictures of any creations you make using any DLD items.

More Seaside Retreat Fun

This is a special make for me because my Daddy took this pic at his favorite spot in Fairhope, Alabama, they didn't like the main beach at Gulfshores.  But they always went to the pier every time they were down there at our place.  Bitter sweet for me.  This collection "Seaside Retreat" was perfect for this and perfect for me because the beach is where my heart is and down there is my very happy place.  You can have some fun creating with this fab kit so visit the Dragons Lair Designs Store and take it home with you.  


Don't forget our challenge at Dragons Lair Designs Challenge Blog this month; come and play with us!  And every Sunday we have the Showcase Sunday with fun things and a FREEBIE!  We all love freebies and also a chance to win a voucher at the store :)

It's a Zoo Out There!

Our July challenge starts today at Dragons Lair Designs Challenge Blog and the theme is "It's a Zoo Out There".  This little Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier digital image from Dragons Lair Designs Store, won't even go out without her shades..she can't believe what a zoo it is!  But she did stumble into the butterfly habitat by mistake looking for her pal (to see her pal, check out Susan's make) and all those wings and crawling caterpillars are freaking her out just a bit.  She does know how much like a movie star the sunglasses make her look, too!  

I colored her up with Spectrum Noir markers and then had her magically or digitally jump onto a sheet of paper from the Butterfly Collection.  I made the sentiment in Photoshop and ditto for making it jump on the paper, too.


Come out and play with us again this month, please?  We have enjoyed seeing your fabulous creations and want you to keep them coming!

Some Scraping by for July at Rhedd's Creative Spirit

Question:  What do you do when you have an almost so almost completed project for your design team make at Rhedd's Creative Spirit and your mom goes into the hospital? Why you start finding bits and bobs that the nurses take off of things they use that will make a design and that they are going to toss and you grab it!  You will get some very odd looks but just explain you are creating on the cheap at the moment :)  

I had kept a bag with some images, markers and pencils, watercolors, gelatos, stamp block and stamp pad. Oh, and just by luck my daughter found my glue and scissors to bring to me.  So I went from a notebook made from a cereal box (watch next month) to a mixed media journal/canvas page.  


Background focal point is from Dragons Lair Designs "Summer Retreat" collection torn around the edges and glued to the mixed media paper. Gelatos to the rescue to edge it and color the rest. A plastic cap for mom's feeding tube that was being thrown away (it was a protective piece on new tubing trust me no gross stuff) made some great circles with one end and some larger solid circles for the big Zentangle Checker Fish from Lost Coast Designs to show he is breathing and to place all about on the page.  The circle tool that came with the gelatos that I have never used made some purple perfect circles, too.  Next after coloring the Zentangle Checker Fish with Gelatos, fussy cutting, and attaching, I cut out 5 seahorses (also from "Summer Retreat") that I had miraculously copied out at the same time as the mixed media background piece were cut out, edged with Gelatos, and glued to lead the parade of fun!  A wonderful square stamp from Carmen's Veranda called  "Paradise Square"  with most of the word "PARADISE" was stamped right onto the paper before adding the seahorses. A swell find was these little star shaped sponge mouth swabs, again this one came straight out of the plastic packaging as it was leftover, made a great tool to dip in blue watercolor paint and stamp around on the page. Some white dots to outline that cute Zentangle Checker Fish finished off my limited supply journal page that may become a canvas.

I was challenged at first as to what to alter or create mixed media because all of my ideas lacked certain supplies but I was pleased to find out there are things around us that if we think about it make awesome tools.  I hope you will try this at home one day.  Just limit yourself to certain absolutely necessary things and then go on a hunt and be inspired by what you find!

I do look forward to visiting your blog and being inspired by your creations this month!  You all took our breath away last month with the fabulous and unique makes we saw and it was my turn to choose the winner....sigh and eek!  But congrats to all of you on jobs well done and please come stun us again for July at Rhedd's Creative Spirit.

Seaside Retreat Collection at Dragons Lair Designs

I am so thrilled with this collection of course because it is beach related!  I miss my beach this very hot summer but this kit makes me feel the breeze and smell the salt air.  I printed the elements out and made a canvas with  them on a piece of cardboard.  See if you can feel that seaside feeling :)


This collection is available at Dragons Lair Designs Store this month; please check out the store and see it up close!  I love this little seahorse...he is adorable!  The mixed media element in this kit works fabulous on a canvas and saved me so much time and work.  

Dragons Lair Designs supply an eclectic assortment of digital downloads.  These include whole collections of items that work well together, digital stamps, etc.

Buy, download, then either work with the items digitally, start digitally then print out and complete your crafting as a hybrid project, or print straight out and do your usual papercrafting.

May Challenge is Here at Dragons Lair Designs

Time to come play again with us at our challenge at Dragon's Lair Designs and our theme is "Working Women".  This is as we women know means ALL women!  So we want to see your interpretation of this theme be as creative as you want that is what it is all about!  

I used the Florence Kit and it is soooo pretty and vintage and elegant looking. So many fun ways to use it but I  am in the hospital with my Mom with limited resources so a digital make in her honor is what I  have today.


We do hope you will come let us visit your blog and be inspired by your make. You can find the challenge HERE just drop off at the linky.

And please check out all our fabulous Dragons Lair Designs links below for fun inspiration and of course, SHOPPING ;)

Cracked Critter Event at Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity

The fabulously funny Cracked Critters at Lost Coast Designs are based on the cracks in sidewalks and the things you can see in them like the clouds.  I have made many humorous projects with them but today's make is based on a true quote about friends.  I made a little accordion fold book with the Cracked Owl, Cracked Chicken, and Cracked Yak.  They just all seem like they would be great friends so I found a quote I love to go with the book. 


The cover and back are cardboard from a food box covered with a digital paper from Dragons Lair Designs "Artistic Expressions" collection and stamped with the Cracked Tree, Cracked Grass, and Cracked Sky.  I made the title tag in Photoshop.



Book opened up


I used another paper from the same collection to stamp the images on then glued the fussy cut, colored stamps on top of the stamped image. The book is folded kraft cardstock sprinkled with Nuance Powders sprayed with water and the edges inked with Distress Inks. This is the Cracked Owl, she looks so wise, well, I think she is a girl anyway :) 


The Cracked Yak is fab, too!


And finishing with the great Cracked Chicken :)
