Printables

Heidi McGregor and Sheila May have each made a junk journal using my ‘A Tale Of Knights And Ladies’ Junk Journal Kit. Both journals are so different. While Sheila stayed more with the original pages, Heidi went with a Camelot themed journal and used A LOT of fabric, lace and various ephemera.

Today I have something really wonderful to share with you. Marijke van der Heiden-engering from the Netherlands makes amazing hybrid projects and she made a breathtaking steampunk style photo album with my ‘Somewhere In Time’ collection. It has so much space for photos, with lots of little hidden booklets and tags.

She has made a video that takes you on a walkthrough through this gorgeous project. Watch it below, click here to watch the video on Youtube (and be sure to leave her a nice comment if you like it), or follow Marijke on her channel!

I wish you all a fabulous 2018. I hope all your dreams (well, some at least) will come true.

At least one of my dreams has come true: last Thursday we bought a house! It’s not our dream home yet, it needs a lot of work, but the space and the potential are there.

I still feel a little overwhelmed, and with all the festivities of the past few days, it felt like my days were just too short and it was hard to focus on work, but I did manage to get some things done. Here’s an update:

A Winter’s Tale - re-release at Oscraps

‘A Winter’s Tale’ is a digital scrapbooking collection inspired by the story of The Snow Queen (my favourite fairytale!). The magic of a landscape beneath a white blanket, the light of a thousand diamonds when the sun touches the snow, frosty leaves and ice cold air, all that beauty of a winter’s day is captured in ‘A Winter’s Tale’. A colour scheme of blues, whites, greys, pinks and a few silvery accents, a paper made from real reindeer skin, snowflakes that look like they were made of real snow (except they do not melt on your pages), frosted flowers and leaves, gorgeous vintage stamps (some of them come from a 1922’s book of The Snow Queen, with the original Edmund Dulac illustrations), paint, a set of wintery transfers… the perfect collection for all your wintery outdoor pictures!

Scenic Papers Vol.2 ‘A Snowy Day’ - Re-release at Oscraps

It’s a wonderful combination, bare trees and sunlight on a snowy winter day… The light in the trees looks like fairy lights! These papers were created from pictures that I took on a snowy day. Mix and match these papers in your digital scrapbooking, art journaling, card making and paper craft projects. Print and frame them and use as winter decor - I added a printable letter size version of the papers. Or use them as overlays, play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results!

As you may know I have been designing the free printables that come with the weekly bundles at The Graphics Fairy Membership site, since last summer. It is always such a pleasure (and an honour!) to be able to work with those images and designing printables is something I LOVE to do. Sometimes it is challenging to try and come up with something unique (although Karen and Emily are helping me come up with new ideas ), but it is good to be challenged and some of the things I’ve designed, would never have come to life if I hadn’t been invited by Karen and Emily to do this.

I am offering some of these printables in a slightly altered version in my Etsy shop too. And here’s an overview of what I’ve added over the past few weeks:

Wouldn’t you wish these printable postage stamps were real? Included in this pack is a gorgeous set of postage stamps with vintage harvest fruits and vegetables, dictionary and paint textures. Use them in your digital projects, or in any other (paper)craft project. Or print them and use them to decorate an envelope with a gift for a nature lover! Each stamp comes in a large version and in a small version, and I’ve added sheets for easy printing.

Included in this pack is a gorgeous set of 6 artist trading cards (ATC) with vintage botanical fruit prints. Use them in your digital projects, or in any other (paper)craft project. Or print them (best on heavy paper) and use them as tags or labels. Or frame them and hang them on your wall - these will make a gorgeous fall decor!

Your tea will taste even better if you wrap your tea bags in one of these shabby chic tea packets + matching label! They were created with a dot pattern paper and vintage teacup images. A wonderful DIY gift idea for friends and tea lovers! These tea bag envelopes are very easy to assemble, instructions are included in your ZIP files.

This tea party invitation can be used again and again to invite your family and friends to a high tea party, to a bridal shower or baby shower, or to any other occasion where tea is the main subject. Included is a front and back, and an editable Photoshop file, that will allow you to customize the invitation - I’ve included information about the fonts that I used. If you are not good with graphic software, simply print and add your own text in writing, or use a program like Word or Picmonkey to add text.

These printable tags were created with vintage fairies and flowers and soft grunge sheet music backgrounds. They have a burlap reinforcement. Use these beautiful tags in your digital scrapbooking or art journaling layouts, or print them for your hybrid projects, for art journaling, for gift tags and so on.

This is a gorgeous set of printable bookmarks, with a sheet music background, some paint, ornamental fragments in gold, and gypsies and flowers. These bookish gifts would make a great surprise for booklovers or for music lovers, for a sister, mother, wife or friend!

Included in this pack is a set of printable CD sleeves, created with vintage fairies and flowers and soft grunge sheet music backgrounds. You can use them as storage for music CD’s, or CD’s and DVD’s with family photos and videos. They will brighten up your (music) library ànd they make a wonderful gift wrapping for presents. They are really easy to assemble (instructions included).

For now, all these packs are exclusively available in my Etsy shop, but I’ll be adding some of them (if not all) to my Oscraps in the weeks and months to come!

Have a great day,

Anja
