Dragonflies in the Garden

Today I have the privilege of acting as Guest DT over at Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges!  The challenge theme is 'In the Garden' and you get extra kudos if you include a dragonfly in your project!

Well, this was perfect for me since I had seen these lovely papers from Vectoria Designs featuring Dragonflies and I had been wanting to make this journal from Little Scraps of Heaven! I was inspired to make a video since I couldn't find directions online for the journal; but I'll warn you ahead of time, I made several modifications!  


So, grab you favorite beverage and join me for a Flip-through of this Journal/Book!


Interested in how I made this...here's the video for you!
