Trying Out A Message Board

We're trying out a message board at Dragonflyscrapbooking.com but it appears there are not many options as to how it will look. So... we are in the testing stage right now and if it can't be fixed up how we want it, we will look elsewhere. I, for one, would like it to be simple and easy to use!

Beautiful Basic Grey!

Look what Colleen made! Aren't they gorgeous! I'm hoping there is another card kit available...

Time for an Update!

Valentines Day is fast approaching but there's still time for a little project!

Here are a couple I've been working on... they are also on the website but I'm putting a few other views here. These two little albums use Basic Grey's 'bittersweet' papers. I found them really easy to work with no matter the type of photos I was using. The first are with old photos of my Mum and Dad and done in sepia and I've cut the album apart (available in the store) and added a ring binding and lots of covered chipboard shapes throughout the album. I left the binding unembellished so the paper was the focus along with the covered chipboard shape you can see here on the lower half of the heart.

This album is for those sweet little photos! I left the album as it is originally bound and made it thick so it would stand open for display.

I loved the bittersweet sticker sheet and used it on both of the projects.

I punched holes around the edges of the hearts just for a change and added some punched flowers.

It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since I've done a post but we have been busy with inventory and updating the website. Also, we have some projects done to upload so stand by with some of the latest of Basic Grey's paper line. Here is a project using the Wassail paper - a great way to save and preserve those Christmas memories. The knob and plate are from 7 Gypsies and I've used a metal DVD tin - inside there is an accordian folded album made with cardstock and more paper.

If you'd like this project and want the paper, check out the website at

I've been busy!

For the past month I've been busy making a gift for my grandkids mother... a whole box of mini albums - there are 11 - one for each year starting in 1994 when the first child was born and ending with two for 2004 when the

last child was born (I'll catch up to date on the next gift giving day!). The two older kids have spent a lot of time with us on their own since the youngest was 4 (now almost 15!) so she has missed a lot of things we have done. Here they are - This is the whole box:

And here are the albums - each has 12 pages.

What to do with....

All those miscellaneous chipboard pieces! I am a chipboard addict...yes, I'll admit it, I love chipboard - I cover it with paper, paint in, ink it and hoard it. Recently I was challenged to make a mini album with pieces of it and found that I now have a new addiction - no, not just mini albums but mini albums made with different shapes together! Here are a few pages of my inspiration album!

Hello Everyone!

Well.. the Creative Expo was a lot of fun (and a lot of work!) and worth every minute. We are now going to have to get busy and update the Dragonfly Scrapbooking website as the sale items just flew off the table and out of the boxes! Kits went too which was a nice surprise. Thanks Colleen for letting me 'play' with you and help at the store!
