Plan your dream garden

0

When I got the idea for this planner, the weather was quite nice here in Belgium… Now it feels more like autumn. But maybe it is a wonderful spring weather in the part of the world where you live!

Things to do in the garden

2

Spring is finally here in Belgium, we’ve had some very beautiful days with soft temperatures and a lot of sun. When I look out of the window, I see trees blooming everywhere and I see the colour green coming back in our garden… I do not have a green thumb, in fact, I do not like to work in the garden, and I do not have the ambition to ever do so. But I could not imagine living in a house without one. I’m very lucky, my husband has the green thumb here in our family. He takes care of all the greenery in and around our house. I just have to enjoy it 🙂

All that has brought me the inspiration to design a garden themed kit. It took me like forever to finish it, and it was not for lack of inspiration. I just reworked it and reworked it, changed the colours, added things, removed things… Then I had the idea of adding illustrations that I made myself, with a pen from a Zentangle pen set that I accidently ordered (and decided to keep - maybe it was saying to me, “start drawing again”?)… and so ‘Things to do in the garden’ has become a whimsical digital scrapbooking collection with fantastic vintage and artsy patterns and mixed media designs that will make you wish you had a garden, whether you like gardening or not. The papers and elements are a delightful mix of vintage, realistic, mixed media and handdrawn illustrations. Colours are ranging from brown, clay and blue over fresh green, peach and golden yellow. The textures are rich and distressed, and you will surely love all the stamps, the floral illustrations, the scribbles, the transfers and the word art.

This garden themed collection will help you show off your love of all things green, and will help you create unique and gorgeous pages about your garden adventures and all sorts of other nature and outdoor themed memories.

Curious? Let’s go see some previews!

There are quite a few shows I like, but The Walking Dead is definitely still my top favourite TV show, even after 6 seasons it still has me nailed down to my seat. Here’s the page I made:

I used the following On A Whimsical Adventure packs: A Moment Captured, Among The Shadows, Bubbles And Splatters, Blue Skies Painted Papers.

Maybe next time you’ll be the winner of a $10 coupon?

And with that being said, I think I’m at the end of my post for this week! Have a wonderful week and see you next time!

Vintage Herbarium Papers & Whimsical Frames

3

Next to the release of my Spring Fever Collection at Digital Scrapbooking Studio (read all about it in this post), I have two more packs that are available in all my shops today:

 

Vintage Herbarium Papers

According to Wikipedia, a herbarium is a “collection of preserved plant specimens, sometimes with associated data used for scientific study. The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper.”

A few months ago I found an old herbarium, made by my husband, about 40 years ago. It immediately brought back memories of my childhood. We probably all made one in school, and some of you (including me) made one just for fun, to preserve sweet memories of beautiful summers or memorable moments. Pressing flowers is not only a wonderful way to preserve their beauty, they can also be used for a variety of purposes: you can use them to decorate cards, embellish candles, frame them and use them to create wall art, make paper… or you can use them on a scrapbook page!

These herbarium papers were created from my husbands herbarium. I carefully scanned them (they were so fragile) and edited them with a soft matte filter to turn them into unique backgrounds. Don’t you just love the incredibly real texture, the aged and yellowed tape, the faded colours?

You will receive 13 hi res 12×12 in JPG files, including 10 papers with dried flowers and plants, 1 back, 1 pink slip sheet and - as a bonus - the cover of the herbarium itself.

The Vintage Herbarium Papers are available in all my shops - and discounted for a week:
Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick, Etsy and Creative Market.

* NOTE TO CREATIVE MARKET SHOPPERS - Last week I told you that I was going to offer a new release discount in my Etsy shop (the Etsy system does not allow to set discounts electronically, but I can set the reduced price manually). And I thought, why not do the same on Creative Market? The Creative Market system does not allow to set discounts either, as on Etsy, but I CAN adjust the price manually. So from now on I will be offering new releases with an introductory sale on Creative Market as well, as in all my other shops. After a week the price will go back to normal (that is usually the day after a new release).
Please note that the discount may not always be the same as in my other shops, as I cannot add decimals to my prices (the price always has to be a round number).

 

Whimsical Frames Vol.01

Perhaps keep just the stitched frame? Or maybe the mask and the frame, and no stitches? Or maybe keep the stitches and the mask, but not the frame? Anything is possible with these layered photo frame templates. You can clip papers or photos to each mask, turn off layers or turn them back on, and create unique accents to your pages over and over again. You will receive 4 large layered frame templates in TIFF, PSD, PNG and PAGE format.

Whimsical Frames Vol.01 is available in all my shops - and discounted for a week:
Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick, Etsy, part 1 and part 2, and Creative Market.

* NOTE TO ETSY BUYERS - Because of the limited file size that sellers are allowed to upload to their shops, and because I always strive to offer instant download, I split this pack up in two packs. The price has been split up in two as well, so if you buy both packs, you will still pay the same price as if you would buy the complete pack.

 

Be inspired

Look at the wonderful pages from my creative team. Some of them have combined the Whimsical Frames Vol.01 with the Vintage Herbarium Papers:

 

A dreamy, almost monochromatic page from Ange, using nothing but the Vintage Herbarium Papers and the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. Sometimes less is more.

Same goes for this vintage page by Ange… She has used one of the Vintage Herbarium Papers and has added some things from my Castles & Princesses Collection. Everything has been toned down to some golden sepia, this could be hanged up on a wall!

 

Barbara has used one of my favourite Vintage Herbarium Papers. She used the April Fool Mini Kit as well and added some word art from my A Moment Captured Collection. Simply gorgeous! And it shows how you can use an April Fool themed pack for something totally non-related.

 

Em has outdone herself here! She has used the Vintage Herbarium Papers as a backdrop for her pictures (framed with Whimsical Frames Vol.01) but look at all the blending and the work she has done, wow! Em has used the Spring Fever Collection in the background.

 

Erin has used one of the two solid papers from the Vintage Herbarium Papers and two frames from the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. She has added triangles from the Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and some things from my Easter Morning Collection.

 

Look at this - holy moly - so creative! I wish I could take a look in Eszters head sometimes LOL. Eszter used one of the Vintage Herbarium papers as a background for this stunning composition.

 

I totally love the idea of Judith of using the Vintage Herbarium Papers on a heritage layout! Judith also used Cosy Christmas Kit, Wonderland Elements, Wonderland Charms and the Castles & Princesses Collection. This has definitely got me inspired to scrap those old family pictures of mine.

 

A beautiful ‘greenery’ page from Ona, using the Vintage Herbarium Papers, some bits and pieces of one of the templates from my Whimsical Templates Vol.02, some cut-outs from the Vintage Mushroom ATC, some papers of the Watercolour Textures Vol.01 and a quote from my Edgar Allan Poe Quotes Pack.

What is not to love about this super cute layout from Ona! Ona has combined one of the Whimsical Frames Vol.01 with a paper and some elements from the My One True Love Collection and word art from my A Moment Captured Collection.

I’ve said it before, I always love to see my ‘older’ packs in use, I think Ona has done a great job here doing so, in her two layouts.

 

And finally, a page by me :

I have used my favourite Vintage Herbarium Paper combined with one of the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. I especially love the delicate pink/lilac of the flowers of the paper and I found a picture on Pixabay that had just the right colour tone for this layout. I also used A Touch Of Paint Vol.01, a bit of Wonderland and a bit of Easter Morning, and - like Ona - a quote from my Edgar Allan Poe Quotes Pack. Well, actually Ona said she was inspired by me to use one of the Edgar Allan Poe Quotes 🙂

 

Hehe, that’s it for today, there was a lot to talk about, right?

Have a wonderful shopping and have a wonderful week!

Spring Fever!

1

A huge collab, four times a year, one colour scheme… That is generally the idea of the Coordinated Collections formula at Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

Today is reveal day for the Coordinated Collection for Spring 2016, ‘Rainbow Bright’! All the packs are on sale for just $1, for two weeks. Bundles are for sale for the price of the number of packs, so a bundle with 6 packs (like mine) is just $6 (unbelievable, isn’t it?). You really have to go check it out, the contributions of the Studio Designers are seriously amazing. I already have a few things on my wishlist!

I’m joining the party for the first time since I came to The Studio. ‘Rainbow Bright’ didn’t seem like a fitting title for my packs, because I focused on the ‘Spring’ theme, therefore I have named my packs ‘Spring Fever’.

Let me show you what I have created:

Remember, you can grab all these packs at just $1 each, for two weeks! And the Spring Fever Collection is available for just $6.

Layout inspiration

You will surely be inspired by the amazing pages from my wonderful creative team :

Ange has combined the Spring Fever Collection with one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and I absolutely love the effect of the blended papers! Ange has used a few extras from my My One True Love Collection (the butterfly and some paint).

Another gorgeous page by Ange, using only the Spring Fever Collection.

 

A gorgeous white space layout from Guest Creative Team member Barbara. I love the strip of patterned paper on top and the cute cluster in the bottom right corner. Barbara has combined the Spring Fever Collection with a few bits and pieces from my Castles & Princesses Collection.

 

A gorgeous page by the lovely Em! Em has also used my Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and some goodies from my Fly Me To The Moon Collection. I especially love how well the silver leaf from Fly Me To The Moon works with the rest of the page and the stitched rectangle behind the picture adds an interesting detail, without being too prominently present.

 

Creative Team member Erin created this splash of spring fever by using one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and combining it with the Spring Fever Collection. I love all the blending and there is so much to look at. That picture is amazing too and it is perfect for this page.

 

A beautiful ‘out of the box thinking’ composition by Creative Team member Eszter! So much to look at in this page, she has also used a vintage bird ephemera from the Easter Morning Elements.

 

Jen Maddocks is a fellow designer at The Studio and she is a dear friend to me. I have been a member of her Creative Team for years and when she has a moment to spare, she makes an amazing page with my stuff. I totally love this very creative page of her using my Spring Fever Collection. I especially love the effect on the word ‘Rainbow’ and the rainbow picture in her page is truly mesmerizing. I also love how she has created a ‘flower border’ at the bottom of the page. I think she has used all of five Spring Fever Transfers here.

 

A gorgeous page from Creative Team member Judith. She has used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.02 and a flower and a brad from my Castles & Princesses Kit. I love the watercolour effect she has created on her pictures!

 

Sometimes my Creative Team members are spoiling me with more than one page LOL, like Judith (and Ange, at the top of this post). This wonderful page by Judith uses the Spring Fever Collection with one of the Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and a button from Wonderland. Again, what a lovely effect on her picture. It works so well with the papers that she has chosen.

 

Ona has recently retired and she told me that she loves working in the garden. I’m not sure if this is her house or garden, but I would LOVE to have this kind of front garden. I love the pops of red and orange in this layout! Next to the Spring Fever Collection she has also used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol. 02, a leaf from My One True Love and a flower from my Among The Shadows kit.

 

And here’s a page from me, using the Spring Fever Fantasy Papers, Spring Fever Solid Papers, Spring Fever Transfers, Spring Fever Splatters and Spring Fever Word Art. I also used one of my Whimsical Templates Vol.01 (twisted and altered):

 

Remember, these packs will be available for just $1 each, at Digital Scrapbooking Studio only, for two weeks. By the end of April they will go back to their normal prices and I will add them to my other shops.

Next to my contribution to the Studios Rainbow Bright Coordinated Collection, I also have two new packs, that are available in all my shops. Read all about it in this post.

A Tropical Deal Of The Day (and a freebie)

0

One of my ‘older’ collections is Deal Of The Day today at Digital Scrapbooking Studio. You can grab the Vintage Tropical Papers, the Vintage Tropical Transfers and Brushes and the Vintage Tropical Bundle at 70% off - only today!

I remember when I created the papers of this collection… It was the 5th of June 2015 and the weather in Belgium was tropical. It was so hot that it was better to stay inside… I was thinking ‘tropical’ and that was enough to bring up the inspiration, it was so much fun.

With a Deal Of The Day also comes a freebie. Just click on the image to download. Enjoy!

I have lots of new things coming to my stores, I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day,

April Fool Mini and Commercial Use Sale

April Fool Mini Reveal at The Studio

Last week, on the 1st of April, an April Fool sneaked into The Studio’s store and messed with the previews of the April Fools mini’s that all the Studio designers created. But he has been caught now and the original previews have been restored.

Actually the whole idea was to play a little game with the customers. All minis had the same preview so customers didn’t know what they were going to get. What a great way to discover designers that you didn’t know before and try out different styles, right?

My April Fool mini kit had number 8, and you can finally see what I created! If you love vintage, then you will definitely adore this cute vintage style mini kit to document the practical jokes, the giggles, the silly moments and all the other funny things of April Fools’ Day.

A French postcard delivered the inspiration for this kit. In Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, 1 April tradition is often known as April fish (poissons d’avril in French, aprilvis in Dutch or pesce d’aprile in Italian). This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim’s back without being noticed. Hence the reference to a fish in the papers and elements:

This mini kit is now available in my own store at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, at the full price though, it was discounted during the April Fools week.

BUT I have also added it to my shop at The Digichick, where I have discounted it for another week.

Papers and elements are - as always - separately available:

April Fool Papers - 3 solids and 3 artsy papers.

Discounted for a week at The Digichick and in my Etsy shop.

April Fool Elements - 15 PNG files, including: 1 vintage postcard, 1 brad, 1 button, 1 felt flower, 1 vintage ephemera flower, 1 metal fish shape, 1 vintage ephemera fish, 2 transfers, 3 pieces of word art, 1 stitched fish overlay 12×12 in, 1 splatter and 1 paint stroke.

Discounted for a week at The Digichick and in my Etsy shop.

Both packs are also available in my shop at Creative Market.

 

Paper Making Tools Commercial Use Sale

Digital Scrapbooking Studio is having a storewide Paper making tools Commercial Use Sale. Until the 14th of April you can grab all the packs in that section at 40% off, including these 4 packs in my Commercial Use Store at The Studio:

And my very popular ‘Worn & Tattered Vintage Newspaper Textures’ pack:

Commercial Use products are not just for designers, they are great for use in your own personal pages as well! And with the 40% discount, you have the perfect excuse to go shopping.

 

Sneak Peek

You had perhaps seen this sneak peek earlier this week:


This is my part of The Studio’s Coordinated Collection for the spring… and it will only be available at The Studio (until the 28th of April).

I didn’t want to leave my other customers just like that, so I have created two additional packs that will come to all my stores next Thursday, including The Studio:

So there is a lot to look forward to, stay tuned!

Have a great weekend,

Green buttons, a sale and a sneak peek!

0

Hi!

My release for this week is a new commercial use pack. It’s a set of 12 buttons in green tones, that I have photographed and extracted. These will make a great addition to your designer stash.

Now on sale (30 % off) at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick and Etsy, until Friday the 15th.

NEW for Etsy buyers: Etsy has no feature that allows sellers to set a sale, that is why I never offered my designs with an introductory sale like I do at Digital Scrapbooking Studio and The Digichick. But I have found a way around it. I will now offer new releases in a separate section, where I set the (sale) price manually.

Also available at Creative Market.

This pack is for Commercial and Personal Use. Read my CU TOU carefully please. Drop shadows in the preview are for display purposes only.

 

Seed Packets and Bubbles & Splatters

Not new, but new this week at Digital Scrapbooking Studio are these two packs:

I had noticed that these were not available at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, while they are in my other shops. You can grab them at 30% off until Friday 15th.

 

A Moment Captured

Did you see the awesome Art Therapy Challenge that Toiny has set up at Digital Scrapbooking Studio?
