I have wondered before how to use dried flowers. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and tutorials. This is a wonderful way to use up the napkins and deli paper. I do like the napkin the best. Both are very very beautiful. Lovely way that then you can use the beautiful delicate flowers.

Thanks Lorie, glad this has given you ideas for preserving them. They are so much more useable this way 💕
Using dried flowers is a technique I have not tried before. Going to give this a try and add at some point to our new nature journals. You showed a lot of other ideas to try. Thank you. 🌷

I understand putting things in a box and just hoarding the beautiful things from Your Creative Studio. I treated myself last year for my birthday and loved everything but made a new box of stationery and haven't used any LOL. Yes, still watching you although don't often write. Hope all is well with you and family. Mine are well up until now. No hols for you or me in Malaga this year. Boohoo Hugs Joy distant oxox

Thank you so much for the visit from Louie. He is just so darn cuddly. I turned up the volume to see if I could hear him purr, but had to use my imagination! Your projects were amazing. Tearing around the stamped frame was brilliant. Because it was a straight edge, I would not have thought of it. You are so very clever. I always love your work! TFS. I did. God bless and stay safe. P. S. I loved Dee’s tea died paper, but liked the idea of repeating elements. 😎

What a wonderful way to capture those flowers, I tried something similar when I first started art journaling about 6 years ago. I used Violas and I covered them in everything I had lol not knowing about this way, and they are still okay today, just starting to crack slightly now, but I still enjoy returning to them and they always put a smile on my face.

Oh, so deli paper is waxed paper? I was thinking we didn't have deli paper in the US, but waxed paper is in our grocery stores in rolls or in sandwich bags so, "good to know".
