scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy
Something short and sweet and very simple because I’m recovering from my millionth sinus infection in the last 3 months, as well as crazy aching legs from a 12km hike through rough terrain on Wednesday. I assume my legs will be fully functioning and pain free sometime next week. Hopefully.
This week I have some nice and simple greyscale geometric patterns. Use them by themselves or throw them over a textured kraft base and play with layer styles for a cooler effect.
Happy scrapping!
September opened with lovely spring weather. Blue skies, fluffy clouds, lovely temperate days. And then boom! – a raging storm, with bonus hail, and icy cold winds. Just after I’d removed my lovely flannel sheets. Typical. Oh, and a flooded, waterlogged car that eventually started growing plant life. Ah, the miracle of life!
The weather is picking up again, and gorgeous greens are slowly spreading through the city. To celebrate this springing of spring, this week we have a paper pack in a beautiful shade of brilliant, vibrant green.
And we get a new car, so woo! (It probably won’t be green, though.)

I do love a good ceramic tile pattern. I’m particularly partial to the gorgeous European azulejos and Moroccan geometric tiles. They’re stunning to look at.
This week’s freebie is a paper pack featuring some beautiful ceramic tile patterns in orange and blue. They’re vibrant and dramatic, and perfect to add a striking splash of colour to your crafts.

Grab your sunnies, this paper pack is bright. This colourful collection of blinding geometric papers are the only thing remaining of a scrap kit that was lost to my extreme perfectionism. (Seriously, it was awful. It’s better off gone!) But the papers are cool and colourful and they go quite well with my Kids Ahead! mini kit.

The September blog train is live at Pixel Scrapper and it’s absolutely amazing! The offerings this month are as gorgeous as they are varied – and who doesn’t like all things related to food?
Here’s my contribution.

This week’s freebie is a set of delicate lace overlays for your papers. For the best results, layer them over a solid colour and try different layer effects. Of course you could use them as is too!

You might have guessed, but I love my patterned papers. I love to look at them and I find making them quite cathartic. Occassionally, I even use them in my scrapbooking!
This week’s freebie is a gorgeous blue and white patterned paper pack. The patterns are delicate and very pretty.
I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed making them.
This week we have a few leftovers from some of my Etsy paper packs. These are the papers that didn’t quite make the cut – but they’re still rather lovely.
If you’d like more, you can check out the Gold On Black paper set, and the Gold Umber set. There are several sets in the collection. Follow the links for matching goodies.
Now, the free stuff!

I have two boys, so the last five years have been absolutely full of all shades of blue. With maybe a bit of green, a splash of red and a whole heap of denim (mostly with holes).
So it was with great pleasure that I focused on PINK, PINK AND MORE PINK for my contribution to this month’s Pixel Scrapper blog train. I’ve been reassured that nobody has gone blind from the brightness, but I offer no guarantees for your retinas. There is a whole lot of pink and it’ll knock your socks off.

In the pack you’ll find 10 geometric pattern templates for your papers. They’ve been saved as transparent PNG files for your convenience. Pop the pattern over your texture of choice and mix it up with different layer styles. Or use the template as a mask with contrasting paper textures. The possibilities are endless!
(The preview is not an entirely accurate reflection of the files within; the overlays have been placed over a white background and the opacity has been turned down to make it easier to see.)
