Hi,

It has been really warm and sultry in Belgium this week… in fact, I could use a refreshing ocean breeze and I would love to dive into cool water… So I decided to put my Mermaids Bundle, Kit and Artsy Transfers up as Deal Of The Day at Digital Scrapbooking Studio.

Deal Of The Day, that means 70% off the regular price. Ready for some refreshing bargains? Then hurry up and grab these packs now - this deal is gone tomorrow!

DEAL OF THE DAY - 70% OFF
ONLY TODAY AT

Hi everyone,

These past few days have been crazy! In Belgium schools are open until the end of June and my daughter had her exams this week… Then next week is the last week of school and we have a meeting at school to pick up her grades… Math is not her strongest subject and I’m crossing my fingers that all will go well. In ten days we are also leaving on vacation so next week is going to be even crazier - cleaning, laundry, school…

That being said, I did manage to bring you a new set of Whimsical Templates for you. These templates have been created from my own layouts that I have made over the past few years - just like the other sets.

Whimsical Templates help you preserve your memories with ease and style and speed up your workflow! Just clip your photos to the clipping masks, recolour the paint layers (or clip a beautiful paper to them), add some embellishments (or not), done. Play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results… Create your own unique layouts over and over again!

You will receive 4 layered templates in the following formats: PSD, TIF and PNG. Each template was created at 12×12 and saved at 300 DPI.

Whimsical Templates Vol03 are discounted for a week.
BUY THIS PACK NOW:

You have to take a look at the amazing pages from my creative team - these are sure to inspire you!

First up are these two beauties from creative team member Ange:

Ange used a paper from an old paperpack of mine - one of the first I ever made and it looks stunning in this layout I think: Vintage Travel Papers. Next to that she used bits and pieces from the following collections: Things To Do In The Garden, Mermaids, Hippie Spirit, A Moment Captured, Edgar Allan Poe Quotes.

She uses another ‘oldie but goodie’ in this layout - Nautical Grungy Papers. It looks amazing with the rest of the elements she used from Things To Do In The Garden and Easter Morning.

Next up are two beautiful pages from creative team member Judith:

In this layout she combined one of the templates with Things To Do In The Garden. I love how the colours in the pictures match the rest of the layout so well! She even recoloured the paint with the blue of the boy’s trousers. This is such a fresh and happy layout.

And she used Number One Dad in the following page. I love the yellow and the orange here, again, perfectly combined with the pictures!

I absolutely love Creative team member Erins doggie page! She used Number One Dad to scrap this.

Lisa and Yolanda are guesting in my team and I love what they did with the templates.

Here is Lisa’s page - a page about her grandfather. I love the touch of yellow - and her shadowing is incredible! Oh, that’s right, she used Number One Dad.

Yolanda used Hippie Spirit. I love the delicate feel in this layout!

And yes, I have been busy as well 🙂

My first page uses Things To Do In The Garden…

And my second page uses Hippie Spirit!

Whimsical Templates Vol03 are discounted for a week.

Whimsical Challenge No3 at The Studio

I was so late posting a new challenge at The Studio… I prolonged Whimsical Challenge No2 because I wanted to let the challenges run equally with The Digichick (from the first of the month to the last of the month). But last week I’ve been job hunting and that has taken up so much time - it ended well, I have been accepted for a parttime job, starting August 8. Then I was so behind with this father’s day themed collection, and while that is no excuse, that explains why I posted Whimsical Challenge No3 only yesterday.

A big congrats to all those that participated in Whimsical Challenge No2 and I’m so sorry you had to wait so long. Discount coupons will be sent out as soon as possible.

For the new challenge the same rules apply as always, one winner will receive a $10 coupon to my store at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, but for the other participants something has changed: they will receive a $5 coupon instead of a 25% discount coupon.

All details can be found in this thread.

Featured Designer Challenge at The Digichick

There are no Whimsical Challenges at The Digichick in June, BUT there is a fun scavenger hunt game going on because I am featured designer at The Digichick this month! And guess what, you can grab this 30% coupon for any personal use purchase good through June 30.

Joanna from The Digichick Creative Team is hosting the challenge and you can join in the fun as well and maybe win one of my kits!

Hippie Spirit

Just a little reminder that there is just one more day left to grab the Hippie Spirit Collection (bundle and separate packs) in my store at The Digichick at such heavily discounted prices. As from tomorrow, I will offer Hippie Spirit in my other shops as well, but at higher prices. I will offer a 30% new release discount, just like I do with all my other new releases.

And that’s it for now, have a wonderful week!

Anja

I am featured designer at The Digichick this month and I’m celebrating that with a 30% discount coupon, valid in my whole store through June 30 (excluding new releases and bundled deals that are already discounted). Joanna, who is hosting the thread, has organised a fun scavenger hunt as well and if you participate, you are entered in a drawing that will give you a chance to win a kit or collection from my store.

So hurry up and join the fun, all information can be found here.

Hi everyone,

For the first time since I’ve been selling my designs at The Digichick, I have participated in The Hatchery, the quarterly Mix & Match collection from The Digichick Designers. I didn’t know where I was going to go with the colours, and I made my solid papers first. While I was working on those, I started to have the idea to create a hippie/boho themed collection, and so ‘Hippie Spirit’ was born.

I’m sure you know the hippies from the sixties… members of a liberal counterculture, a youth movement that started in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1960s and spread to other countries around the world (source: Wikipedia).

This collection though is all about the ‘modern’ hippie and I found this description of the modern hippie (I couldn’t say it any better):

Modern hippies like organic food, they care about the earth and its inhabitants, they recycle and support companies that operate consciously and sustainably. Modern hippies have a vibe that is similar to the original hippies – relaxed, accepting and peaceful. Their free spirits prefer to go with the flow instead of swim upstream. All in all, they are nice people to be around. The modern hippie hasn’t abandoned the desire for more peace and love in the world, but it’s pursued in a slightly different way. The modern hippie is supremely focused on cultivating inner peace. This is because they know that these things are contagious, and if you’re peaceful inside, then the person sitting next to you gets to benefit from the calm spirit that you emanate. The hippie spirit is alive and well with the original hippies still leading the way for all of us who will never stop trying to make our planet more peaceful, loving and green. - Source: Kimberly Kingsley - Modern Hippie: An Intuitive Journey Toward a Free-Spirited Life

So all that information became the main inspiration for my ‘Hippie Spirit Collection’. It is filled with tons of papers and elements in bright and happy colours and patterns and a bit of boho chic. Finish up those pages with a touch of paint and a few whimsical doodles… Embrace all the peace and love in your heart… Scrap, art journal and create… express those positive vibes and let your spirit soar!

I have created 9 coordinating packs for you. Each of the separate packs (except for the Alpha) will be for sale for just $2 during the first week of their release. Prices will go back to normal after that.

Hippie Spirit Bundle

The bundle is definitely your best deal: all Hippie Spirit packs for one permanently discounted price. During the first week of the release, this bundle will be 60% off, and that is not all.
