Guess Who Lives Here? March Sneak Peek

Down in a little small valley, somewhere near Jubilation Woods, lived a little band of Glories....a song I taught to my kindergarten class came to mind while making this piece from the new collection for March!  So do the Glories live here?  Maybe you have your own ideas?  But I promise you will love this new kit!  I am in love with it....I say that a lot don't I?  But each collection just totally enthralls me :)  Here is your sneak peek....



Make sure you come back and see if you were right with your guess!  And check out all of our links below for some awesome inspiration and fantastic collections and digital images!  And please like our Facebook page, too :)

Cherubs and February

I just love the new kit at Dragons Lairs Designs Store called "Understated Elegance"! It is that and the lovely watercolor flowers are my absolute favorite part of it!  I wanted to make some ATC's but time became an issue so I had this lovely cherub digital stamp from Dragons Lair Designs named "Victorian Christmas Collection - Angel " and decided to make a page from it to add scrapbooking elements to in memory of my dad.  Someone had switched my cardstock out of the printer so my first copy was on plain paper.  Did I throw it away?  No, of course not! I cut the flowers out and just tacked them in spots so they gave my page some dimension.


Inked my edges up, layered and rolled up the top sheet and cut the words from one of the tags for the sentiment.  The top layer of thin flowers allows them to drape around the darling cherub.  Hope you will visit our store and the links below to see all the wonderful things our Janette is doing these days and remember our monthly challenges too!  Thanks for stopping by to visit us!

Pocket Pillow from Understated Elegance New Kit

This is my first post for Dragons Lair Designs in quiet awhile as I was waiting for a surgery date that has now been put into another dimension I suppose so it is back to work for me :)  This new kit by Janette "Understated Elegance" is so lovely with its soft almost watercolor like flowers; it is truly beautiful.  I have never ever made a pillow box before but the kit makes it so easy that I wanted to try it first.  And I love the way it turned out!  The flowers can be used in so many ways, different layering, ways I don't even know how to do yet but I am learning!  





So check out this kit and many, many more at the Dragons Lair Design Store and check out our challenge HERE for February.  Also check out our Design Team Inspiration blog and see how my awesome teamies have used these fabulous kits!

Our Design Team members have had lots of fun making different creations from elements from the "Understated Elegance Collection" that launched in the Dragons Lair Designs store on the 1st February.

Firstly A Giveaway

Dragons Lair Designs designer Janette has made a "Handmade Mini Album" using this new collection, which she is generously going to give away on the Dragons Lair Designs FB Page - Here! And it's not just the mini album she's giving away but the BRAND NEW Understated Elegance Collection on CD as well. The details are in the pinned post and a winner will be chosen after the giveaway closes on the 29th.
Here's a peak of the mini album.


Gwyneth
On the 2nd I showed you what it was I'd been teasing you with before the launch.  A bookmark holder with a stand and a hanging hole so that it could either be stood on a bookshelf or hung up nearby.


Janette had been teasing you with part photos of several of her creations before the launch -
Since the launch she's been showing you full photos of her crafted items.



Susan
Susan showed you a couple of bits of her creation before the launch and showed you exactly what it was she made with the bits on her own blog on launch day and I promissed to show them here on today's post - so here it is -
Susan also used a background from the collection for her make earlier this week which you can see here - Understated Elegance Inspiration for the February Dragons Lair Challenge - Susan R

Understated Elegance Inspiration for the February Dragons Lair Challenge - Susan R

Hi Susan R here!

I made a card for the February Challenge Launch
 in the Dragons Lair a couple of days ago...

Here is another...but it also uses paper from the new collection Understated Elegance



The theme is 'Bingo'!


Your make should contain three things in a line - horizontal, vertical or diagonally 





I used Yellow, Green and a Tree in my twisted easel card.
The tree image is Dragons Lair's Spooky Tree printed directly onto the paper.
The colour scheme is yellow and green. The base was a white card base with an extra square of white - and green card was used to back the poem and the daffodil.
The easel is a daffodil made from punched shapes on a handmade background.



I printed the poem on the computer and added it on dimensionals to make the easel stand.


I added a green ribbon and some gems...



Hope to see YOUR makes in the Dragons Lair Challenge...

Happy Crafting!
