Hello February!

Walk On The Wild Side

I'm pretty proud of how this kit turned out! I handdrew all the little animals, the jeep, some of the flowers and later I digitally adjusted and coloured them in with Photoshop. It's a great way to combine 2 of my hobbies, drawing and designing scrapbookitems. 

The theme for the Pixel Scrapper blogtrain for February was so cool, and all of the contributions are adorable and beautiful! If you like to download the rest of the blogtrain, head over to the Pixel Scrapper forums, you can find the list with contributors on there. 

I hope this kit will be useful to you, I think there are some pretty useful elements in it, and the colours are not too bright  and just a pretty mix of muted colours. I had fun designing everything and I think this will be one I definitely will use a lot myself. My son loves wild animals and I can see him go on a safari trip when he gets older. 😆😉

Here are the 4 parts you can dowload! If you want to grab the matching journal cards and tags, go to my Facebook group, I will post the link to that part on there. 

Have fun with this kit and please let me know what you think of it!

A Very Blue Monday

I hope your Blue Monday isn't too blue! 

This kit won't help, because it is blue all over, and I think it will be a while before I touch anything blue coloured when I'm working on a kit in Photoshop, because for now, I've had enough of the colour BLUE... lol! Luckily the kit I'm currently working on for the February Pixel Scrapper blogtrain has just one very dark blue in the colourscheme, so that's good. 😉

The last 2 parts of 'January Blues' are now ready for download. 

You can grab the elements here, with the link below the preview. As a little extra, I also have a part 5, with some cute journal cards and wordart and a quickpage I made ages ago, in 2400x2400 pixels, so not the normal size, but still I think it's lovely, with a beautiful poem about January on it. If you'd like to get this part as well, head over to my Facebook group , that's where I share the link to the downloadpage! 

I hope the rest of your January will be good, with many sunny winterdays! ⛄⛅🌞

Hello December!

And yes, December's here. Great times ahead with the holidays, and of course for digiscrapping. 

The second blogtrain I joined on Pixel Scrapper is a good old-fashioned Christmas kit. The colours are beautiful, muted and pastel. 

I loved this theme so much, although I had a hard time getting into the Holly Jolly mood, but that was only because it still was October when I started designing it and the weather was way too sunny and too warm to think of winter and Christmas. 

I think the kit turned out really cute, I love the penguin I drew, and although I don't think there are a lot of 'retro' items in this kit, it is still very useful for your Christmas photos. 

The other thing I found somewhat difficult, was to stop designing. 😂 The kit has become way too big to join the blogtrain, so I had to split it up in different parts. The first parts are for the Pixel Scrapper blogtrain, the other parts will be available on my blog and Facebook group during the month of December. If you don't want to miss out, just check my blog regularly and I will let you know when and where to get it. 

For now, here is my contribution for the Pixel Scrapper Blogtrain, I hope you like it and that you can make beautiful Christmas layouts with it. 

You can find the rest of the blogtrain here on the Pixel Scrapper Forums. 

Happy Holidays everyone!

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:👀❤✌

Free Spirit I

"A free spirit 

is just an old soul

with all its karma paid,

needing to prove nothing"

- unknown

Here is the first part of the Free Spirit kit, in very soft colours, even with pink, which is rather unusual for me. 😆😂

I hope you like it and that you can use it for your pictures.  

It will be available for free for 2 weeks! 

Leave a message to let me know what you think.

Free Spirit

Soo... Pink isn't really my colour.
I've never been that kind of girl who had her whole room decorated with pink, princessy, girly stuff. Oh yes, I've played with dolls, a lot to be honest. But I never was that obsessed with them being dressed in pink and I honestly can't remember ever wearing pink clothes myself... at least as a unicoloured item. Maybe if there are pink flowers on a shirt, or even a bright pink for my nails in summer.... I'd wear it, but that's as far as it goes. I don't hate it... I just don't LOVE it. As long as I can remember blue has been my colour. Especially the aqua blues (and greens), beautiful turquoise and petrol. And it still is actually. 
But when I collected some CU items to use for a next kit, I came across the colour palette that I used for this kit and I actually loved it. There may be pink in it, I think it came out as a classy, chic kit, a bit bohemian and sparkly.

Here are the previews of both kits, the first one is with pink/black/gold, the other one is with more copper, beige, sammon tints. The kits will be online within the next week, so keep an eye out for it. 

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!

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'
