Freebie!

I've got this very bright mini collection as a freebie for you this week.  I hope you like it.

DID YOU MISS THIS PICK IT UP HERE FOR £1 :D

Showcase

For my showcase this week I thought I'd go in a different direction.

I know that some of you will have found this Dragons Lair Designs Inspiration Blog, and more specifically my "Sunday Showcase" posts, in the last few weeks - and you will therefore have missed collecting the freebies given away with the first few "Sunday Showcase" posts.  I can't go offering them as freebies for ever but I have come up with a way for you to collect any freebies you missed without paying what would be my usual prices for a full mini kit or quick page or whatever the freebie was.

I have therefore introduced a "Pound Shop" section 
in the Dragons Lair Designs online store.

That's right - mini kits, etc., that you can pick up for   £1.00!

Think Spring Mini Digital Kit - Sunday Showcase March 20th - In Store Now! - Here!

And here are a couple of creations made using the Think Spring Mini Kit:

Radient Day Digital Papers - Sunday Showcase March 27th - In Store Now! - Here!

And here are a couple of items that were made using the Radient Day Digital Papers:

  Lupus Digital Mini - Sunday Showcase April 3rd - In Store Now! - Here!

 And here are a couple of makes that were made using the Lupus mini collection:

I'm sure I'll be back with some more of the items that once were given as freebies at some point - but in the meantime more are being added to the store on a weekly basis, so why not pop along to the "Pound Shop" to see what you've missed and pick up a bargain.

Update/News

New Collection Launching Soon

Keep an eye out on the 1st of June for the launch of my latest new collection.  You may have seen some of the DLD Design Team members giving you sneaky peaks the last few days.  All I'm going to say is that it is called "A Taste of Summer" and give you a little look at what's included -
