Hi,
If you’re a member of The Graphics Fairy Membership, then you might want to check out these two beginners tutorials that I’ve written for Photoshop Elements; just click on the images.
Not a member yet?
Here is a thing or two on why you should consider becoming one:
This week’s Commercial Use pack is this set of 7 handmade bubbles, created with ink, soap, a piece of paper and a straw. They were scanned, edited and cleaned up. I used a slightly absorbing paper, hence the soft texture. These brushes are so much fun to use, to make graffiti, messy brushes, to add texture… Play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results. The PNG files are quite large: sizes are ranging between 2168 and 2451 px. You may use these brushes in your personal projects, or to create elements and papers for kits that you sell.
Please note that this pack was previously available as a personal use item.

Hi everyone! I know that many of you are very busy with the end of the school year, but in Belgium we still have a month to go. My daughter is starting her exams in two weeks and 5 weeks from now we’ll be on our way to France! June is always a very busy month, especially for hubby, who’s a teacher. Our trip to France is something we are really looking forward to.
Father’s Day is two weeks away, and now is the time to prepare a very special gift for your father, grandfather, husband, son or friend. Number 1 Dad was designed a year ago and I am re-releasing this personal favourite of mine at Sweet Shoppe. I merged the word art and the transfers packs with the kit and added a few new elements. I also made three new coordinating packs, let me show you all the previews!
Number 1 Dad Bundle
Included in the bundle are the kit, the artsy papers and two new packs: a pack with journal cards, and a set of 12×12 page borders. I had so much fun making these borders, and if I look back, it’s actually the first pack of page borders that I made! My creative team and the Sugarbabes at Sweet Shoppe really loved these borders, I’m hoping you will too!
The bundle is available only at Sweet Shoppe, and is discounted (25% off the already discounted bundle price!) for the entire weekend. Grab it here.
Number 1 Dad Kit
Like I said above, I have added a few new things to the kit (some flowers, leaves and 2 alphas), and I’ve merged the kit with the word art and the transfers. Which means, that you will now get 9 solids, 18 patterns, 2 alphas and 86 elements, including: 1 wooden ampersand, 1 wooden arrow, 1 bolt, 2 painted page borders, 1 bottlecap, 1 brace, 3 brads, 1 branch, 2 buttons, 1 cartoon, 1 dictionary transfer, 5 flairs, 6 flowers, 1 rosette, 1 vintage flower, 2 paper frames, 1 wooden frame, 2 wooden glasses, 4 pieces of foliage,1 photo mask, 3 wooden moustaches, 1 nut, 5 pieces of paint, 2 paperclips, 1 ribbon, 1 denim strip, 1 roundel, 1 wooden sign, 5 stamps, 5 wooden stars, 1 stitching, 1 string, 5 tags, 1 tape, 5 pieces of wordart (in a coloured and black version), and 5 wordstrips.

Hi! This week I have 3 new packs for you, a new set of Whimsical Frames, a new set of Acrylic Transitions, and an editable Baby Shower Invitation.
Whimsical Frames Vol03
These layered photo frames will allow you to re-create the Viewfinder effect to your photos. The possibilities with these templates are endless: turn layers on and off, change the blend modes, the opacities… duplicate the grungy edges for a stronger effect etc. You can even determine how low or high the ‘battery’ is 🙂
So, what is the Viewfinder effect? I found this information on Wikipedia: “Through the Viewfinder photography (TtV) is a photographic or videographic technique in which a photograph or video or motion picture film is shot with one camera through the viewfinder of a second camera. The viewfinder thus acts as a kind of lens filter. The most popular method involves using a digital camera as the image taking camera and an intact twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) or pseudo-TLR as the “viewfinder” camera. Depending on the model of TLR, the resulting image may have an old-fashioned feel to it, often with vignetting, blurred edges, distortion and dust.”
Available here: Etsy | Sweet Shoppe | Creative Market
Acrylic Transitions Vol02
A new set of 9 exclusive, stunning mixed media artist papers, brought to you straight from the atelier of the artist Wim Heldenmoed (my husband). He created these delicious textures by mixing gesso, acrylic paint and bistre on a plastic sheet. They were scanned at high resolution, edited and then digitized. Now you can create art yourself, by using these artist papers as backgrounds in your digital scrapbooking, papercraft or art journaling projects. A printable letter size version of each paper is also included, for a jumpstart on your journals!
Available here: Etsy | Sweet Shoppe | Creative Market
Editable Baby Shower Invitation
Included in this pack are 2 charming baby shower invitations, 1 for a girl, 1 for a boy. They coordinate with the ‘Mother And Child’ digital scrapbooking collection and they are fully editable. You will receive 2 layered files in TIF and PSD format (PNG also available) where you can add your own text, change the colours, even add your own image. You will also receive 2 matching envelopes (not editable). The envelopes come in PNG format, and on a sheet in JPG and PDF for easy printing. As a bonus I’ve included two papers that you can use to print on the back of your card, or on the inside of the envelope.

These are great to add texture to papers, by simply recolouring, or by clipping patterns and papers to them.
You will receive 12 hi res 12X12 in PNG files (black).

Hi there,
This weekend I am re-releasing ‘Feeling Blue’, the collab I made with Dawn Inskip last year in September.
We all have our bad days, days when we feel low, sad and depressed. Days when everything feels heavy and pointless Life is never a continuous stream of happiness. But we have the power to turn things around and if we work through the bad days, good days will come again. Everybody is different, and everybody has different ways of dealing with pain. Some listen to music, some write down their feelings in a journal. Sometimes it helps to have a good cry and reach out to a good friend. And sometimes you just have to scrap about it.
Feeling Blue is jampacked with bits and pieces that are perfect for art journaling and all kinds of mixed media and paper projects to express yourself and deal with those bad days: 34 painted and textured backgrounds and 150 elements, comprised of well chosen vintage ephemera, paint, inky splats, drips and stamps and much more, all in tones of blue and purple, with a hint of pink and dusky carmine.
