ISSUE 16, June 2022

Welcome to my June newsletter!

 

May seems like it was a whirlwind with my visit to Tyrol, Austria and participating in the first Art Journal Festival (more info below). Both were unforgettable events! 

 

If you have any suggestions or ideas you want to see here, please just drop me an email at 49dragonflies@gmail.com.

Previous Newsletter Issues

BRAND NEW IN MY SHOP!

My latest kit is called "Dreaming of Summer". The idea behind this kit was to use my recent eco-dyed papers and to make the backgrounds look a bit half-finished (i.e. the flowers are not in color yet) because summer is not quite here yet, we are still dreaming of it... :) In addition to my monthly background pages, ephemera pages and clip art, I of course also created the monthly planner kits: June monthly, weeklies and trackers with backgrounds, planner pages without dates, as well as the weekly double spread for more writing space, fun planner notes, and of course my monthly planner freebies. 

EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK

Let's make some holes in our journal pages! This is a sneak peek of a page I created for my Sunday Junk Journal Snacks series. Lots of things went wrong, but I did not give up! 

WHAT'S ON MY DESK

May 26-29th was the first German Art Journal Festival in Vienna!

 

We were asked to bring name tags (if we didn't want a standard one). So this is the one I created and of course I could not leave the gold splatters out! 😃 

 

It was a fabulous event and I'm sad it's over! The image on top is one of my journal pages using an image from my "Once Upon A Time" clip art. If you missed my unbelievable artistic transformation during the Art Journal Festival, you can find it here.

FREEBIE

In my recent Plan with me June video, I created this little page using one of my original eco-prints, adding one of my quotes. Please feel free to download the here, exclusively for my newsletter readers. 

A VIDEO YOU MISSED?

A dream came true! I was able to visit Luise Heinzl together with Hanni beginning of May! It was a trip I will remember for the rest of my life (thank you so much ladies!). I smile just thinking about it. Can you image, I got to sit at Luise's craft desk 😃. Of course we had to film a VLOG and also a fun junk journal game. If you missed that video, you can find in by clicking on the button below.

Let's Switch & VLOG

FEATURING Jo from Wales, UK

I'm happy to introduce you to a new channel created by one of my awesome viewers! I have really enjoyed Jo's videos and find them very calming. I'm in complete awe at how professional these videos are made! Let's show Jo some love! (click the photo to get to Jo's channel)

 

Here is some info Jo sent me:

 

"My name is Joohi (Jo). I currently live in a pretty village in Wales. Although the UK is my home now, I was born in India and have lived in the US and UK for most part of my life.

 

Even though I was grateful for many things, there was this inner voice which often asked 'what's the purpose of my life'? I was sure that earning good money was not my purpose because I had it already and I was still searching for all these answers. Mindfulness was always something which I believed strongly but due to the stressful job I wasn't getting enough time to practice.

 

During this rough phase, I dared to take a long break, leave everything behind and went on a soul searching meditation retreat in the Himalayas. This opened a whole different world to me which I never knew existed.

 

I now understand that to live a happy life all we need to do is change our perspective to look at things. I wanted to share this knowledge to give people hope because I understand not everyone can go to the Himalayas and do the inner knowing programs. So I felt it’s my duty to spread that calmness, hope and a way out of stressful life. All of this is really easy if we change our mindset.

 

In my journey artists like YOU have inspired me immensely by exploring the divine therapeutic power of Journaling to provide an outlet for my creative imagination. A big heartfelt thanks to you for providing inspiration"

I want to be featured next!
