I have a new commercial use pack for you this week: a set of 5 old, sturdy and rusty keys in their original colours; I found them in the attick at my parent’s house. They were scanned, edited and meticulously extracted by me. You can use these keys in your personal digital scrapbooking or art journaling layouts, or use them to create digital scrapbook elements.

I have a storewide sale of 30% going on in my Etsy shop at the moment, so you can grab the keys at 30% off if you’re fast.

11 years ago on February 1st, Sweet Shoppe opened its doors and has been going strong since thanks to all of you! We have surprises and specials in store for you every weekend all month long, but we’re kicking things off with an amazing scooper dipper weekend full of stunning new collabs as well as one of the biggest and most gorgeous anniversary collabs we’ve ever created. And that collab is free with your purchase of $20!

I teamed up with the sweet Ana Nogueira from Sugary Fancy and the result of that collaboration is A Perfect Match. And a perfect match it is, with a bright, fresh and daring colour scheme, that puts bold orange, red and purple against a soft pink and some neutrals. The flashy and artsy patterns and a gorgeous mix of elements will be the perfect match for all your romantic and love themed layouts!

Let’s take a closer look:

You will get 8 solids, 16 patterns and 79 elements, including: 1 leather arrow, 1 wooden arrow, 1 lace trim, 2 brads, 4 buttons, 2 branches, 1 leather chip, 1 crochet heart, 1 wooden heart, 1 doiley, 4 paper flowers, 4 fabric flowers, 1 foam flower, 4 paper leaves, 2 frames, 1 vintage frame (+ mask), 3 heart bokehs, 1 paint splatter, 1 lace stamp, 1 circular stamp, 3 painterly stamps, 1 staple, 1 stitch, 2 transfers, 1 pattern stamp, 1 vintage receipt, 1 vintage cupid postman, 1 vintage rose, 1 vintage ‘love’ stamp, 1 vintage typography stamp, 1 banner, 1 blank banner, 1 bow, 2 ribbons, 1 clothespin, 1 confetti, 1 floral sticker, 3 labels, 1 notebook, 1 puzzle sticker, 3 tabs, 1 tag, 2 pieces of washi tape, 2 pieces of leather word art, 2 pieces of wooden word art, 6 wordstrips.

I’m also re-releasing two ‘oldies’; both packs are on sale as well:

Whimsical Frames Vol01

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, and PNG format.

Vintage Herbarium Papers

These herbarium pages were created from an old herbarium that my husband made as a child. I carefully scanned them (they were so fragile) and edited them with a soft matte filter to turn them into unique scrapbook 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.
