Cheers to a new year!

I wish you all a fabulous 2018. I hope all your dreams (well, some at least) will come true.

At least one of my dreams has come true: last Thursday we bought a house! It’s not our dream home yet, it needs a lot of work, but the space and the potential are there.

I still feel a little overwhelmed, and with all the festivities of the past few days, it felt like my days were just too short and it was hard to focus on work, but I did manage to get some things done. Here’s an update:

A Winter’s Tale – re-release at Oscraps

‘A Winter’s Tale’ is a digital scrapbooking collection inspired by the story of The Snow Queen (my favourite fairytale!). The magic of a landscape beneath a white blanket, the light of a thousand diamonds when the sun touches the snow, frosty leaves and ice cold air, all that beauty of a winter’s day is captured in ‘A Winter’s Tale’. A colour scheme of blues, whites, greys, pinks and a few silvery accents, a paper made from real reindeer skin, snowflakes that look like they were made of real snow (except they do not melt on your pages), frosted flowers and leaves, gorgeous vintage stamps (some of them come from a 1922’s book of The Snow Queen, with the original Edmund Dulac illustrations), paint, a set of wintery transfers… the perfect collection for all your wintery outdoor pictures!

Here’s some inspiration from the creative team and from my personal photo book:

Scenic Papers Vol.2 ‘A Snowy Day’ – Re-release at Oscraps

It’s a wonderful combination, bare trees and sunlight on a snowy winter day… The light in the trees looks like fairy lights! These papers were created from pictures that I took on a snowy day. Mix and match these papers in your digital scrapbooking, art journaling, card making and paper craft projects. Print and frame them and use as winter decor – I added a printable letter size version of the papers. Or use them as overlays, play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results!

Creative team member Jana combined these papers with A Winter’s Tale, and I love the result:
