One of my creative team members asked me to design a summer kit that was ‘just’ about summer, without references to the beach. It is true, the shops have been floaded by beach and ocean themed kits this summer. And I have to be honest, I don’t go to the beach often myself!

Inspiration doesn’t always come by itself, you have to look for it! The inspiration for ‘Memories Of Summer’ came from a photograph from Unsplash by photographer Linh Nguyen. Unsplash is one of my favourite sites by the way, I use the pictures often for my marketing layouts.

This is the photo:

And this is what I made from it:

Memories Of Summer Kit

The kit is packed with 16 beautiful patterns, 12 solids, 1 alpha and 76 elements: everything you need to make those lazy hazy days of summer last forever. And it’s available only at Oscraps.

Available only at Oscraps

Summer is the time when life slows down and when being lazy is officially allowed. It is the time when we disconnect ourselves from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, the tasks and the chores, and it is a time to recharge the batteries. ‘Memories Of Summer’ is a summery kit with a retro tropical feel. It is filled to the brim with luscious fruity colors: shades of green and blue, strawberry pink and berry purple, and a hint of sorbet yellow. You will love the pretty patterns, the gorgeous florals, the shabby textures, the artsy mixed-media elements and the vintage summer themed goodies.

Memories Of Summer Elements

1 wooden ampersand, 1 paper arrow, 1 wooden arrow, 2 vintage beetles, 1 vintage berry, 1 binder, 2 brads, 2 vintage butterflies, 3 buttons, 1 crochet cherry, 1 doiley, 3 pieces of ephemera, 8 flowers, 1 vintage hibiscus flower, 4 pieces of foliage, 1 shabby wooden frame, 1 paper frame, 2 clipping masks, 1 paint drip, 1 paint splat, 2 paint strokes, 1 paint texture, 1 fabric ribbon, 1 piece of rope, 3 vintage word stamps, 1 vintage sun stamp, 1 staple, 1 succulent, 1 wooden tag with a vintage image, 3 paper tags, 9 transfers, 1 twine, 2 pieces of washi tape, 2 chunky wooden words, 9 summer themed wordstrips.

Tea is always a good idea

Thanks for participating in the August 2017 DigiScrap Parade! If you’re following the Parade route from start to finish, you should have arrived here from Jen C Designs and your next stop will be ninigoesdigi. If you get lost along the way, simply head back to the main DigiScrap Parade site to view the master list and get back on track.

I’m back at Oscraps!

You might have noticed that my designs are no longer available at Sweet Shoppe. I have re-opened my shop at Oscraps (today is the first day!) and I am having a grand opening sale of 40% - pay me a visit if you have time!

However, since I have only a limited number of products available at Oscraps at this point, I thought it would be nicer to give you a coupon for my Etsy shop. My Etsy shop is filled with every pack I ever designed, including commercial use items.

Check it out here.

Here’s my part for you, click here or click on the image below to download.

Have fun (s)hopping!
