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.

A Touch Of Paint Vol02

If you love the effect and texture of paint on your pages, but cannot make your own (yes, it can get messy!), then this is a pack that you will love and use over and over again. Add an instant touch of paint to your digital scrapbooking or art journaling pages with this gorgeous crafted pack of paint. The paint strokes were created by me, using various materials like ink, watercolour and acrylic paint. They were then scanned and edited at the highest quality.

And two pages from me:
