For next week I have a revamped ‘oldie but goodie’ that I’m re-releasing at Sweet Shoppe. I’ve also made some new coordinating packs that I think you’ll love! Here’s a little sneak peek:

That’s it from me this week, have a great day!

Anja

I am so thrilled to tell you that I am now a designer at Sweet Shoppe Designs ! I’ve been working behind the scenes for a few weeks now and I’ve met all my fellow designers (it is such an awesome and inspiring community), but now my shop is finally open and I get to tell the whole world!

For my debut, I have a new solo kit and a collab with the AMAZING Studio Basic Designs. Next to that, I have 7 re-releases. I’ll be adding new and old(er) things in the weeks and months to come, but for now, let’s take a look at my shop.

The first you’ll probably notice is that my preview has changed. Sweet Shoppe believes very strongly in promoting all the designers and the shop as a whole, that is why we all have the same preview. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now and I’m considering a rebranding for the previews in my Etsy and Creative Market shops as well… that’s for later though.

Let me show you my new solo release!

Winter Solstice Bundle

Winter Solstice digital scrapbooking collection captures the magic of winter, cold nights and the dark days of December, right before the light and the longer days return. Christmas is the Christian answer to the celebrating of the returning of the light and so this digital scrapbooking kit is also very suitable to document your Christmas memories.

The colour scheme is one of contrast: dark and light, cold and warm, from frosty pink to gray, to blank wood and warm orange and brown, and a touch of green. The patterns were inspired by Nordic sweaters, cosy furry blankets and frosty mornings.

Decorate your layouts with any of the natural elements and birch wood textures, vintage ephemera and stamps, engraved wood slices and some light accents, create titles with the birch wood alpha; use one of the torn paperstrips to add intrest to your page, clip your photos to the frosty photo masks and finish with one of the winter quotes… feel the magic of the winter solstice!

Winter Solstice Bundle is permanently discounted by 30%
You get an extra 25% discount if you grab it now !

Winter Solstice Kit

Included in the kit are 18 patterns, 12 solids, 1 birch wood alpha and 84 elements: 1 antler, 2 arrows, 1 bead scatter, 1 branch with berries, 1 winter bird sticker, 3 brads, 2 branches, 3 buttons, 1 cloves scatter, 1 vintage deer sticker, 1 birch wood deer head, 2 dried fruit slices, 1 pinecone flower, 2 fabric flowers, 1 paper flower, 1 composite flower, 2 wooden frames, 1 circular birch wood frame + mask, 1 birchwood heart, 1 vintage Christmas wreath, 1 holly leaf, 1 ivy leaf, 1 pinecone leaf, 1 vintage mistletoe, 2 lights, 1 wooden mushroom, 1 vintage orange slice image, 2 paint splatters, 3 painted edges, 1 painted paper edging, 1 glittery wooden pinetree, 1 white wood pinetree, 3 fabric ribbons, 1 crochet snowflake, 1 stitched circle, 2 strings, 1 round vintage deer tag, 1 vintage bird tag (in two versions), 2 fancy labels, 2 vintage dictionary blends, 1 torn piece of vintage ephemera, 2 winter themed torn vintage postcards, 8 vintage stamps, 2 wood slices with an engraved deer, 1 wood slice with an engraved snowflake, 1 wood slice with engraved words, 3 large birch wood words and 7 wordstrips.

I am also re-releasing the following collections, kits and packs:

Everything is 25% off until 6 AM Sunday morning - so hurry up if you want to grab some deals!

I will re-release most of my existing designs in the weeks and months to come!

Please note that there are a few changes in my Sweet Shoppe shop :

1. I will offer kits only as a whole at Sweet Shoppe. I will no longer offer separate elements and paperpacks, unless the paperpack is an extra pack, and unless the elements pack is an addon. I will however, still do this in my Etsy shop, the upload sizes are so limited, that I really have no other choice.
2. I have reviewed my pricing. Since I will no longer offer elements and paperpacks separately, the list price of bundles has become cheaper.
3. That includes that bundles will now be around 30% off (instead of the former 40%), but if you purchase the bundle before the new release sales ends, you can do even bigger bargains than before!

Please note that new releases at Sweet Shoppe Designs will be 25% off from 6 PM EST Friday when the store goes live until 6 AM Sunday morning.

 

Personally I’m not really a template girl… I love a blank page and I love to start from scratch, templates sometimes give me a feeling of ‘restriction’. BUT I have to admit that I have been using templates more frequently over the past few months, for my personal photobooks. I love how they speed up my workflow.

If you love to use templates, for whatever reason, then you are going to love my new set of Whimsical Templates, and the sale I have on all my Whimsical Templates.

Let me show you the new set first:

Preserve your memories with ease and style and speed up your workflow with this gorgeous new set of whimsical templates! Clip your photos to the clipping masks, recolour the paint layers (or clip a beautiful paper to them), add some embellishments (or not), done. Play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results… Create your own unique layouts over and over again! You will receive 4 layered templates in the following formats: PSD, TIF and PNG. Each template was created at 12×12 and saved at 300 DPI.

These templates are 30% discounted for a week.

Here’s some Whimsical Inspiration!

First up is this page by Andrea. She used template number 2 and flipped it vertically. She used Fly Me To The Moon Collection to create this page (one of my personal favourites; purchase links at the end of this post).

The next page is from Carina. I had to laugh when I saw this page, that Alice In Wonderland doll is adorable! It’s great to read the story behind it as well. Carina used - what else - Wonderland Collection to make her layout (purchase links at the end of this post).

A soft and delicate page by Sylvia, using Wanderlust (purchase links at the end of this post). I love how the picture flows from one frame to another, and how it ties the left frame and the two right frames together. That hidden ‘lace’ is a great detail (can you see it?).

Rae is a photographer and her pictures are always superb! She used Wanderlust elements, Spring Fever Transfers and My One True Love Mixed Media Papers (purchase links at the end of this post).

Next up is this page by Francine. She used Number One Dad and the Doodled Stitches Vol01 that I released last week (purchase links at the end of this post). The stitches are a great addition and they work so well with the rest of the elements.

Erin has been on the move for quite some time but she has now found a place to stay and she is getting back into designing (and I’m doing a happy dance for that). She used Hippie Spirit here (purchase links at the end of this post).

Sigh… this is so gorgeous! Barbara always knows how to make an impressive page with a minimum of elements and papers. I loved how she has used just one frame for a picture, added text in another and a piece of vintage ephemera in another. She used Wanderlust and Vintage Herbarium Papers (purchase links at the end of this post).

So soft and dreamy, this gorgeous page by Ange. Ange used Watercolour Textures Vol02, Doodled Stitches Vol01, Wonderland, A Stroke of Luck, Fly Me To The Moon and Hippie Spirit with one of the templates (purchase links at the end of this post). What an adorable picture too!

And here’s my page! I used My One True Love, A Stroke Of Luck and Easter Morning (purchase links at the end of this post).

Hi everyone,

These past few days have been crazy! In Belgium schools are open until the end of June and my daughter had her exams this week… Then next week is the last week of school and we have a meeting at school to pick up her grades… Math is not her strongest subject and I’m crossing my fingers that all will go well. In ten days we are also leaving on vacation so next week is going to be even crazier - cleaning, laundry, school…

That being said, I did manage to bring you a new set of Whimsical Templates for you. These templates have been created from my own layouts that I have made over the past few years - just like the other sets.

Whimsical Templates help you preserve your memories with ease and style and speed up your workflow! Just clip your photos to the clipping masks, recolour the paint layers (or clip a beautiful paper to them), add some embellishments (or not), done. Play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results… Create your own unique layouts over and over again!

You will receive 4 layered templates in the following formats: PSD, TIF and PNG. Each template was created at 12×12 and saved at 300 DPI.

Whimsical Templates Vol03 are discounted for a week.
BUY THIS PACK NOW:

You have to take a look at the amazing pages from my creative team - these are sure to inspire you!

First up are these two beauties from creative team member Ange:

Ange used a paper from an old paperpack of mine - one of the first I ever made and it looks stunning in this layout I think: Vintage Travel Papers. Next to that she used bits and pieces from the following collections: Things To Do In The Garden, Mermaids, Hippie Spirit, A Moment Captured, Edgar Allan Poe Quotes.

She uses another ‘oldie but goodie’ in this layout - Nautical Grungy Papers. It looks amazing with the rest of the elements she used from Things To Do In The Garden and Easter Morning.

Next up are two beautiful pages from creative team member Judith:

In this layout she combined one of the templates with Things To Do In The Garden. I love how the colours in the pictures match the rest of the layout so well! She even recoloured the paint with the blue of the boy’s trousers. This is such a fresh and happy layout.

And she used Number One Dad in the following page. I love the yellow and the orange here, again, perfectly combined with the pictures!

I absolutely love Creative team member Erins doggie page! She used Number One Dad to scrap this.

Lisa and Yolanda are guesting in my team and I love what they did with the templates.

Here is Lisa’s page - a page about her grandfather. I love the touch of yellow - and her shadowing is incredible! Oh, that’s right, she used Number One Dad.

Yolanda used Hippie Spirit. I love the delicate feel in this layout!

And yes, I have been busy as well 🙂

My first page uses Things To Do In The Garden…

And my second page uses Hippie Spirit!

Sneak Peek

Design wise July is going to be a little slower… I am taking a little break (and I am so looking forward to our week in France!).

But I have a HUGE new collection that will release July 14th. I know it’s still a while, but I’m really proud of it - so here’s a sneak peek:

Father’s Day sale in my Etsy shop

And last but not least - today is the last day of the Father’s Day sale in my Etsy shop. Everything (that is personal use AND commercial use) is 40% off. If you want to grab some bargains, then now is the time to act!

Have a wonderful week!

Anja

Next to the release of my Spring Fever Collection at Digital Scrapbooking Studio (read all about it in this post), I have two more packs that are available in all my shops today:

 

Vintage Herbarium Papers

According to Wikipedia, a herbarium is a “collection of preserved plant specimens, sometimes with associated data used for scientific study. The specimens may be whole plants or plant parts; these will usually be in dried form mounted on a sheet of paper.”

A few months ago I found an old herbarium, made by my husband, about 40 years ago. It immediately brought back memories of my childhood. We probably all made one in school, and some of you (including me) made one just for fun, to preserve sweet memories of beautiful summers or memorable moments. Pressing flowers is not only a wonderful way to preserve their beauty, they can also be used for a variety of purposes: you can use them to decorate cards, embellish candles, frame them and use them to create wall art, make paper… or you can use them on a scrapbook page!

These herbarium papers were created from my husbands herbarium. I carefully scanned them (they were so fragile) and edited them with a soft matte filter to turn them into unique 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.

The Vintage Herbarium Papers are available in all my shops - and discounted for a week:
Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick, Etsy and Creative Market.

* NOTE TO CREATIVE MARKET SHOPPERS - Last week I told you that I was going to offer a new release discount in my Etsy shop (the Etsy system does not allow to set discounts electronically, but I can set the reduced price manually). And I thought, why not do the same on Creative Market? The Creative Market system does not allow to set discounts either, as on Etsy, but I CAN adjust the price manually. So from now on I will be offering new releases with an introductory sale on Creative Market as well, as in all my other shops. After a week the price will go back to normal (that is usually the day after a new release).
Please note that the discount may not always be the same as in my other shops, as I cannot add decimals to my prices (the price always has to be a round number).

 

Whimsical Frames Vol.01

Perhaps keep just the stitched frame? Or maybe the mask and the frame, and no stitches? Or maybe keep the stitches and the mask, but not the frame? 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, PNG and PAGE format.

Whimsical Frames Vol.01 is available in all my shops - and discounted for a week:
Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick, Etsy, part 1 and part 2, and Creative Market.

* NOTE TO ETSY BUYERS - Because of the limited file size that sellers are allowed to upload to their shops, and because I always strive to offer instant download, I split this pack up in two packs. The price has been split up in two as well, so if you buy both packs, you will still pay the same price as if you would buy the complete pack.

 

Be inspired

Look at the wonderful pages from my creative team. Some of them have combined the Whimsical Frames Vol.01 with the Vintage Herbarium Papers:

 

A dreamy, almost monochromatic page from Ange, using nothing but the Vintage Herbarium Papers and the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. Sometimes less is more.

Same goes for this vintage page by Ange… She has used one of the Vintage Herbarium Papers and has added some things from my Castles & Princesses Collection. Everything has been toned down to some golden sepia, this could be hanged up on a wall!

 

Barbara has used one of my favourite Vintage Herbarium Papers. She used the April Fool Mini Kit as well and added some word art from my A Moment Captured Collection. Simply gorgeous! And it shows how you can use an April Fool themed pack for something totally non-related.

 

Em has outdone herself here! She has used the Vintage Herbarium Papers as a backdrop for her pictures (framed with Whimsical Frames Vol.01) but look at all the blending and the work she has done, wow! Em has used the Spring Fever Collection in the background.

 

Erin has used one of the two solid papers from the Vintage Herbarium Papers and two frames from the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. She has added triangles from the Stitched Shapes Vol.01 and some things from my Easter Morning Collection.

 

Look at this - holy moly - so creative! I wish I could take a look in Eszters head sometimes LOL. Eszter used one of the Vintage Herbarium papers as a background for this stunning composition.

 

I totally love the idea of Judith of using the Vintage Herbarium Papers on a heritage layout! Judith also used Cosy Christmas Kit, Wonderland Elements, Wonderland Charms and the Castles & Princesses Collection. This has definitely got me inspired to scrap those old family pictures of mine.

 

A beautiful ‘greenery’ page from Ona, using the Vintage Herbarium Papers, some bits and pieces of one of the templates from my Whimsical Templates Vol.02, some cut-outs from the Vintage Mushroom ATC, some papers of the Watercolour Textures Vol.01 and a quote from my Edgar Allan Poe Quotes Pack.

What is not to love about this super cute layout from Ona! Ona has combined one of the Whimsical Frames Vol.01 with a paper and some elements from the My One True Love Collection and word art from my A Moment Captured Collection.

I’ve said it before, I always love to see my ‘older’ packs in use, I think Ona has done a great job here doing so, in her two layouts.

 

And finally, a page by me :

I have used my favourite Vintage Herbarium Paper combined with one of the Whimsical Frames Vol.01. I especially love the delicate pink/lilac of the flowers of the paper and I found a picture on Pixabay that had just the right colour tone for this layout. I also used A Touch Of Paint Vol.01, a bit of Wonderland and a bit of Easter Morning, and - like Ona - a quote from my Edgar Allan Poe Quotes Pack. Well, actually Ona said she was inspired by me to use one of the Edgar Allan Poe Quotes 🙂

 

Hehe, that’s it for today, there was a lot to talk about, right?

Have a wonderful shopping and have a wonderful week!

Anja

In Belgium we are in the middle of the Easter holidays, that is two weeks off from school and both DD and hubbie are at home - my husband is a teacher. It does keep me from working on a normal pace (even though it’s good to have them home). But I have two new packs for you, a new set of Whimsical Templates, and a set of digitally stitched shapes.

Whimsical Templates Vol.02

These templates were created from my own personal layouts and - just like the Whimsical Templates Vol.01 - they offer you a mix of artsy and realistic style elements to create your layouts.

Clip your photos to the clipping masks, recolour the paint layers (or clip a beautiful paper to them), add some embellishments (or not), done! You can remove the frames and use the paint layers as clipping masks for a very artsy style layout, or remove the paint and use the frames only for a more clean layout… Play with blend modes and opacities for surprising results… Create your own unique layouts over and over again!

The templates come in PSD and TIFF format and - this is new - I am also providing them in PNG and PAGE format.

Available in my shops at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick and Etsy.

Note to Etsy buyers: Due to the limited upload size on Etsy, I cannot provide instant download for these templates. I will send you a download link for your product within 24 hours of purchase.

Let me show you what my amazing creative team (and I) did with these templates:

Judith kept the structure of template no.2 and created this layout using my Easter Morning Collection. I love how she has clipped the papers to the paint layers. Her pictures are adorable!

Like Judith, Ange has basically kept the structure of template no. 3. And she has also used my Easter Morning Collection to create this layout. The colours of the flowers are perfect with the colours of the papers and elements!

Em has used template no. 4 and I love how she tilted it and how that adds an interesting visual aspect to the layout with the blue paper sticking out underneath. She kept the layout in blue and yellow, to match the adorable boy’s shirt. She used the stitches as a frame for the label. Em used the Easter Morning Collection.

Erin used template no.2, just like Judith. But see how she altered the position of the frames? She moved them to the other side. Same template, a whole different look, I love it! Again, the Easter Morning Collection was used to create this layout.

Another layout from Erin, this time using template no.4. She kept the structure but added one of my Stitched Shapes Vol.01 to add the journaling. And she used Easter Morning Collection.

Another layout by Ange, using template no.1. She used my A Moment Captured Collection to create this layout and used the paint layer on the right as a clipping mask for the photo. I’m guessing she also used a blend mode to make it blend with the background. Amazing layout with amazing pictures!

Barbara used template no.2 and like Erin, she moved the frames to the left. She has also scaled them down a bit. Barbara used A Moment Captured here. Great layout!

Ange has really spoiled me with this third layout, using template no.2 and I was totally surprised to see her use one of my ‘oldies but goodies’, the Vintage Tropical Papers and Vintage Tropical Transfers And Overlays. She has also used shapes from the Stitched Shapes Vol.01 set.

And here are 2 pages that I did:

I used template no.2, A Colourful Fall Paperpack and a tiny bit of the Easter Morning Collection (cream background, leaves behind the branch). I clipped the red paper that I used on the left to clip to the largest paint layer and I recoloured the other paint layers to match the photo.

For this layout I used template no.1, Easter Morning Solid Papers, Easter Morning Paint And Transfers, Watercolour Overlays Vol.01 to create the watercolour effect on the green background, A Stroke Of Luck Solid Papers, and then just colour to recolour the paint layers.

 

Stitched Shapes Vol.01

This set of stitched shapes will help you add texture and dimension to your projects. They add a unique accent to any layout or art journal page! Use them to create frames, journal spots, or use them as an interesting visual detail. So easy and so versatile. This pack will be one to use over and over again! ‘Stitched Shapes Vol.01’ includes 12 creamy coloured stitched shapes in a shadowed and non-shadowed version, and 12 mix colour stitched shapes (cream+grey), in a shadowed and non-shadowed version. I had so much fun creating these.

The pack is available in all my stores, at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick, Etsy and Creative Market.

See the stitched shapes in action :

First up is this amazing geometric layout by Eszter. Like no other Eszter always manages to create something totally unusual. She has used one of the stitched triangles and repeated that shape throughout her layout - simply amazing. I’m totally in love with this. She has used the Easter Morning Solid Papers.

Another amazing layout from guest creative team member Barbara. I’m a true fan of Barbara’s layouts and I love what she did her, using some of the stitched circle shapes, A Moment Captured, Wonderland, My One True Love and look at that: one of my Blue Halloween Papers, one of the first paperpacks I ever made!

Em, another amazing scrapper, has created this layout using My One True Love and she used some of the stitched circles as frames. I love it, I love it.

Ange has used one of the stitched rectangles and my A Moment Captured Collection to create this artsy layout. Don’t you love that adorable girl with the hat??

A clean and simple layout by Erin. She used the Easter Morning Collection and some of the stitched hexagons. Simple but effective!
