A Painted Poppies Birthday Card
Maybe its because the designer series paper is watercolor painting, or maybe its just the stamp set name, Painted Poppies, but I wanted one of my first cards with this set to be done with watercoloring.
First I selected this fun blue-background print from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. I wanted a bright, fun card and this paper fits the bill. The poppies in the DSP are colored in Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo, so those are the colors I chose for my painting.

Organizing your Love Today Planner Kit
Have you seen the Love Today Planner Kit in the new catalog? It’s in the kits section, and since offering a planner is new you may have missed it. You can find it on pages 12 and 13. I recently got mine and got it organized. I like it! Over the years I have used a variety of planners, mainly for work. At home I generally rely on a calendar and a notebook for my to-do lists. I’ve tried digital lists, too, but I just like paper. I love that this planner has all the basics in place, but still offers so many creative and organizational possibilities.
Here are the parts and ideas for how you might want to organize and use your planner.
This is everything that comes in the planner kit: the Night of Navy gold foil binder, 12 monthly divider pages, calendar pages, page lifter, sticker sheets, sticky notes, photo protector pages, and two pockets. The binder size is 7-3/4″ x 8-3/4″. It all comes packed up in a nice little box. I suggest you pull everything out and organize the various pages, before you pull some of this and some of that to take blog photos!

Dragonfly Dreams Land on a Clear Block
My dragonfly has landed on a clear block. So to speak. I’ve been playing with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. For this card, the little guy ended up landing on a clear block stamped background. I did a Pinterest search for dragonfly to get some color ideas. One image that I saved was a print of three dragonflies, laid out one below the other, similar to a specimen frame. Not only did I like the coloring, I had my design inspiration as well. Yes!
