Retro Holly Jolly Extra

Hello! 

First I want to say THANK YOU for downloading my Retro Holly Jolly kit so many times! It's great to know you like this all so much. I'm liking it too and already started some layouts using it, maybe I'll post them later this month, maybe even a Quickpage for a freebie, who knows? 

Anyway, here's the first of 4 extra parts of the Retro Holly Jolly kit. It contains 10 papers that didn't make it into the blogtrain. 

The next parts will be a pack with 54 elements and 2 more paperpacks. They will be up in the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas, and I will post them on my Facebook group, Deviantart or on here. 
I will keep you posted here on the blog, so you can keep an eye out for them. 

I hope these papers will be of use to you, they're perfect for combining with the Christmas kit, but most papers can also be used for other types of layouts. 

Happy scrapping!

Letting you know

Hello again, 

Today's just a little reminder that by the end of this week my kit 'Touch Of Frost' will no longer be available on my blog. I will take it down on the 7th of December, so if you like it and don't have it yet, be quick to download it. 

And.... 😁

The last few days I noticed a lot of traffic on my blog and on my downloadpages at Mediafire. The kits 'Free Spirit' and 'Retro Holly Jolly' have been downloaded hundreds of times, in just a few days time, which is really nice to know. I'm glad you all like my work and of course this inspires me to keep making freebies. Many of you leave messages and sincerely appreciate my work, and that's why I share my digital goodies.  I also would like to point out that I really enjoy reading your feedback, or even a simple 'thank you' after you've downloaded my products. Seeing the numbers of downloads on the hosting sites is great, but also very 'abstract' if you know what I mean. It's nice to maybe get to know a bit more of the people who are downloading my kits. I've learned that people from all over the world have been downloading the kits, from Russia, Europe, the US and even Australia. It is so nice to know that, it makes it more 'special', since I'm Dutch and don't usually 'talk' to people from all corners of the world. So please keep that going! 💖

When I download products from other designers, I always try to find a place where I can leave a 'thank you'. It's just a confirmation to the designer that his/her hard work is very much appreciated. 

That's all for today, I'll be back soon with the rest of the Retro Holly Jolly kit and don't forget to grab 'Touch Of Frost' while you still can! 

Free Spirit II

Whaa... I'm a little late with this one! I've been busy lately, so this one almost slipped my mind, but here it is, finally! 

Tomorrow's the day for Retro Holly Jolly by the way, so you scrappers are reaaally getting spoiled this month! 

Anyway.. here's the second version of Free Spirit. Have fun with it and let me know what you think!

Are you in the mood for Christmas yet?

Retro Holly Jolly spoiler 😉 

Oh my, it's almost December. This year went by so fast, I can hardly get my head around it that Christmas is around the corner, yet again.  

Today I have a little spoiler for you, a preview of my kit Retro Holly Jolly. 

It contains the Pixel Scrapper blogtrain contribution and the extended versions for my blog and Facebook group, which makes it a very large Christmas kit. 

The first parts will be available on December 1st, and during December I will upload the other parts, so stay tuned for that! 

Also stay tuned for the other part of the Free Spirit kit, which will be released this week too. 

SPOILER:👀❤✌

Last few days for A Soft Touch

Just a reminder that this kit will be taken down soon as a freebie! Tomorrow is the last day you can download it. It 's a very popular kit, so I think many of you already got it, but if you don't, I guess here's your last chance. 😉
I am uploading most of it on the Pixel Scrapper commons section, (if you're a member there) but it won't be the whole kit and it comes in small parts, so it will take a while before you'll have most of the elements and papers.

It's Just Love

Hello! 

Today I have a kit for you that I first made in 2012, called Just Love. I upgraded it and added a lot of new elements and papers because I love the colour palette and think it's a really nice 'November' kit. 

And because me and my Mr. 😍 are celebrating our anniversary of 5 years, later next week. 💖
In 2013 we got to know eachother and my life changed so much when we met. I really feel like those 5 years have gone by so fast, and every single day was a blessing. Together we are so strong, and I feel like I can do anything because of 'him'. We've been through a lot together, but I know nothing can come between us. Every day I wake up happy, and each night  I go to bed happy. And that's how it's supposed to be! 

So for this little celebration, I bring you this gift. It's in 6 parts, the files are not too large. There's also a part 7, an AddOn, that I'm saving for later, as a special download for people who are taking the time to leave a message below. But I will explain all that later, in a few days. 😉

I've returned my files to Mediafire, Sendspace was not working for me, the files take a loooong time to download. As soon as I find another hosting site, I will let you know.

For now have fun with this kit, leave a message below if you like it. The kit will be up for 2 weeks, so be sure to get it in time.

Monday monday

Goodmorning, 

Monday is NOT my favorite day of the week, but today I have a day off from work, so I can get some other things done in and around the house. The weather is ok, but it's grey though, no sun today so it definitely feels like autumn now. 

Then I have a brandnew set of greyscaled patterned and textured overlays for you, for PU & CU, so use it anyway you like. Please let me know what you think of them and leave a reaction below if you like. 

I'll be back with a cute minikit too within a few days, so be on the lookout for that. 

Love & Peace 💓

Family Traditions

Hello November! 

This is my first contribution for a blogtrain on the forums of Pixel Scrapper. The theme was 'Family Traditions' and I didn't find it very easy. In Holland we don't have Thanksgiving or anything and using a typical Dutch tradition isn't really useful for all the (mostly) American scrappers. 

So I kept it basic, making use of the colour palette, with elements and papers that will be of use for anyone with a family, friends or pets.. really. 😉

The rest of the blogtrain is really amazing, and very divers! It's nice to see how one theme can be translated in so many different ways. If you'd like to grab the other parts of this blogtrain, go to the Pixel Scrapper forums and you'll find a list of all the contributions. 

The next blogtrain will be a Christmas themed one, and I've already started designing (a few weeks ago already, lol)! It's so much fun to do, the colour palette is amazing and the theme is Retro Holly Jolly. So it will be a fun kit over all I guess! I know my part will be a big one, or for download available in many parts, on the forums and on here, because well... it's a Christmas kit and I like to bring gifts. For now, here is the minikit of Family Traditions. The download button will direct you to the Dropbox download links. 

I hope you like it!

Say Boooooo!

Happy Halloween! 

Halloween isn't a 'real' holiday in The Netherlands, and not celebrated like in other parts of the world.  But, I think it's a great themeday, the scary stuff, the dressing up, and of course trick & treat (for the kids 😁 ) . 
So I thought I'd make a minikit, especially for those people who do celebrate this holiday and who will make lots of pictures of their & their kids' scary costumes and party's. 

I began a few days ago.. thinking it definitely would be a small kit, with about 20 elements and 10 papers. Well... that didn't work out, haha. I couldn't stop designing all these cute little figures and things, and I tried to add a few pretty scary elements too. 

Soooo.. here's the 'MINI' kit, with over 40 elements and 24 papers, as a freebie for you! It will be available for 2 weeks, so be sure to grab it! 

There are 5 parts, the files are not too big. Have fun with it and let me know what you think of it!

Overlays 2

Hiya,

Here's another freebie for you, the second set of 8 textured and patterned overlays in grayscale so you can colour and adjust them to your own needs. I still have hundreds of textured and patterned papers to go through, but these ones I've used here and there in my own projects. I hope you can use them too! They are for PU and CU and will be up until December, so be sure to grab them while you can.

Don't forget to leave a message, it inspires me to make more freebies! ;-)

Touch of Frost

Although it's still October, and the weather is still gorgeous with lots of sunshine, I can feel it getting colder at night and in the morning when I'm off to work on my bike. 

It's just waiting for the frosty nights now. I'm not too big of a fan of winter, I really don't like the cold, but the last months of the year are not that bad, so many festive days and cozy days inside. 

So I thought this kit would be very appropriate for  the coming months. It's not a Christmas kit (I'm currently working on one and it's been a  struggle to get into the Christmas feel, lol), just a winter themed kit with lovely cool colours and I love how it turned out in the end. Originally it was a kit from 2009, but I upgraded it and made a whole bunch of new elements and papers. I'm particularly proud of the little polar bear I drew, it's so adorable. 

It's a large kit and all free for you to grab. The links will be up until December, so be sure to download it before then. And please leave a message, I love to read what you think of it and how you used it. 

Happy scrappin'

Overlays

A little extra! 

Today I have 10 textured overlays for you. These were all scanned, extracted and adjusted from some lovely papers I've had in my stash for years and years. 

I hope you can use them for your projects, they are all greyscaled, so you can color them however you like. They are for personal and commercial use. Have fun with them! 

(Tomorrow's the big day for the release of the kit Touch of Frost, so stay tuned for that!)

The last day of September!

Wow.. summer is officially over now, the last day of September has arrived. I do love fall though, with its beautiful colours and cozy days inside. Today is a sunny day over here in The Netherlands, nice and bright and not too cold yet. So I think we will go for a walk in the woods this afternoon.

This 'new' kit Autumn Day  ('officially' designed in 2009), is pretty perfect for the sunny days in autumn, with a great color scheme to start with. I've designed quite a few new elements and papers to upgrade it just a little and to have more choice with your layouts. I think it turned out pretty cute, I already did one page with it, with pictures of my son in the early fall of 2017. When you scroll down, you'll see that page, just as an example what can be done with this kit. 

I will post the links of 2 paperpacks and the elementpack today, and then tomorrow another 2 parts, 1 paperpack and a pack with journal cards and wordart. The last 2 parts are completely new designs and I'm particularly proud of the journal cards and wordart, so stay tuned for those. 

I hope you'll have a beautiful fall and I'll be back soon with another upgraded kit, called 'A Touch of Frost', with a truly wonderful colourscheme, it's so much fun to work on. 

Happy scrappin' everyone!

A Soft Touch

Hello again, 

Finally, after some computer and work-related issues, I'm back with scrapbooking goodies. The blog is almost empty, I have deleted quite some posts because the downloadlinks were expired and I wanted to upgrade my graphics. 
So, here it is. Hopefully I'll be able to change the background etc. into a more contemporary look, meaning I'll be having to design a new kit or something, who knows? 
For now, I have a little freebie to offer you. It's a mini set of a kit I did years ago, in 2010 to be precise. ;-) Last week I spent reviewing / upgrading all of my older work and thought it would be nice to share some of it again, since there are some lovely themes and elements still in there. This original kit was much bigger, but the quality of the papers wasn't that great (due to a very old computer I was working on back then), so I haven't used many of them in this minikit. Most elements and embellishments were quite fun, and I hope you can use them again in your layouts. 

The kit is calles A Soft Touch and has some very nice muted colours of brown, pink and grey. A lot of the elements were created by me, myself and I, as at that time I was starting to design a lot and learning much more about it. 
This 'mini' version has 10 papers, 50 elements and an alpha in upper and lower case, included in the paperpack. 

If you like the kit and decide to download it, please leave a message below. 
The kit will be available for download until November 15th., 2018.

Have fun with it!  

(Edit: I've fixed the link to the paperpack, it's ready for download!)
