Sneak Peek


Coming Sunday:

Country Cottage Collaborative


I'm excited about releasing this collaborative kit with Aquarius Designs and Manu Scraps. It's been a delight to work with them and I love what we have created together, a soft, gently shabby kit filled with the delights of country living.  

We'll will all be offering some co-ordinating freebies, so stay tuned for all the information.

This past week, my husband was on vacation.  We decided to stay home and do day trips and we had a wonderful time taking hikes, visiting local gardens and museums. And of course, we took photos everywhere. Well almost everywhere.  Yesterday morning we took a hike at a local county park. We visited a section we had never gone to before and followed a trail along the lake with some wonderful spillways, small waterfalls and huge rocks.  And of course, we kept saying, Oh, I wish we had brought the cameras.


Here are a few pics that Clemens took:







And two from me:



And yes, you'll undoubtedly be seeing others from this week blended into backgrounds or extracted for elements in upcoming kits.

New PU and CU Kits Released



Here it is. Nympheas.  I've had a series of gorgeous water lily pictures on my hard drive for months. I knew instantly when I saw these photos that my husband had taken with their lovely luminescence and textured effect that I wanted to make a kit to feature them. Well, it took almost a year to do it but here it is.


I wanted to give the kit the "painterly" effect found in the impressionistic paintings, especially those that Monet did of water lilies, so I added textures and filters to a number of the elements and papers to do this.


This kit is a personal use/scrap for hire kit with 16 papers, 12" x 12" and 56 elements created at 300 dpi.  


Just released, it's currently on sale for 25% off at all of my stores.

Amazing, aren't they?


And I have a new commercial use pack.  If you're familiar with my kits, you know I almost always include swirls and embellishments.  I love the way they add elegance and interest to a page.  So for designers and scrappers who would like some embellishments that they can use to match a kit or layout, here's a pack of 6 large pngs.  Apply a variety of different styles, color them, apply gradients, patterns and papers for different effects.  

And these are also on sale at 25% off for their release.  If you like them a companion pack CU Swirls 1 is also available in my stores.

I'm a scrapbook addict. I've been involved with digital scrapabooking since July 2009, when my daughter introduced me to her favorite hobby. When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
