The eclectic Paperie E-Team is launching a new series of challenges based around art journaling, and we're kicking it off with... why, the cover, of course!
Daisy didn't give us any rules for this one, in fact, the only criteria was for each E-Team member to create a cover that makes her want to fill her journal with artiness. Because I'm smitten with Dyan Reavley's images and colors these days, I "Dylusioned" the living daylights out of a Maya Road chipboard binder...
- Maya Road 5"x 5" Binder
- Dylusions Ink Sprays in Squeezed Orange, Bubblegum Pink, Pure Sunshine, London Blue, Vibrant Turquoise and Crushed Grape
- Ranger Ink Picket Fence Distress Stain
- Claudine Hellmuth Sticky-Back Canvas
- Dylusions Stamps: Bags of Bunting, Write Between the Lines, Pondering Petunia
- Sakura Glaze Pens
As with all our challenges, Daisy is offering some fabulous goodies for our blog hopping friends. Simply visit each E-Team members' blog and leave a comment for the chance to win a $25 eclectic Paperie gift certificate. Comments can be left from now until Sunday, April 29th. Winners of $25 gift certificate will be posted on the eclectic Paperie blog on Monday.
The eclectic Paperie E-Team is:
Daisy Sparks, our Fearless Leader
Linda Ledbetter (That's me!)
But wait… there's more: Post your OWN journal cover by Friday, May 4 at the eP blog, and you might be one of two guest artists chosen to join us for next month's challenge. We're so excited to see what you create!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a spectacular day, and don't forget to visit my mega-talented E-Teamates!

I'm kind of obsessed with Dyan's products too. The brightness and whimsey are so compelling. I loved how you put it all together and especially the "bunting." (I never used that word before.)
Awesome Linda!! I'm totally addicted to all things Dylusional!! I need to cover my journal too.
nice cover. can't wait to see the rest. thank you for sharing. rush88888 at gmail dot com
yep yep I have to totally agree with you on that one. I have been hooked on her goodies for about a month now and already have 2 stamp sets and 3 different ink sprays and will eventually have them all. she is great and I love her tutorial's too. I like the way you inked this up and that blank space on front if your anything like me will eventually be covered up as well. I love that rubber image you used. I have the dottie and the further around the border set and thats my next one. you did a great job on this cover
Your Journal cover is so vibrantly colored with the Dylusions spray inks...I love the stamps you've chosen and can't wait to see what creative goodness will fill the pages of your journal! Once again Linda you have inspired me to take an artistic leap :) You never fail to get my creative mojo going!

Wow!!! I never knew what all this talk of art journaling is about & am in LOVE with this piece. I'm smitten over the Dylusions line you shared & those are the most adorable 'my style' type of collections I ever did see. :)
Wow oh Wow oh Wow this just makes me want to learn so much more. I was stumped for a moment on marble stains so I came of course to your inspiration to look for a bitty of inspiration & of course...Always capturing my heart with the amazing talent your hands create. I'm touched!
Thank you so very much for sharing this. I'm in inspiration heaven at the moment. HUGS
Oh Linda! Your journal cover is fabulous!
