scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy
I’ll let you in on a little secret – this week’s freebie is probably one of my current favourite paper packs. I just love the simplicity of it. I hope you love it too.
Or at least like it.
A little bit?
I also hope your day is much warmer than mine. Ciao!
It’s June. Almost halfway through the year. Anyone else blown away with how quick the last five months have gone? I certainly am.
This month’s Pixel Scrapper blog train is Oh! The Places You’ll Go. So let us reflect on the first half of 2018 speeding by – and all we can accomplish in the months to come!
Today is your day – so hop to it and happy scrapping!
This week’s paper pack was put together while I worked on my contribution to the August Pixel Scrapper blog train (Kids Ahead!). They’re super fun patterns to work with, so I hope you enjoy them!
Happy scrapping!
I’m on a bit of a vintage kick at the moment. I’ve been doing some heritage craft projects and I just find myself collecting gorgeous old fashioned ephemera and patterns and postcards.
The papers in this week’s pack are inspired by a book of vintage kitchen wallpaper samples. Soft, sweet and flowery in subtle colours.
Happy scrapping!
I got slightly sidetracked while preparing my contribution to a future blog train, and these papers are the results. Over the next couple of weeks you’ll likely see even more of my distractions.
Happy scrapping!
I’ll be the first to admit that a large portion of my downtime lately has been browsing Facebook and playing one of those games that ask you to pay for diamonds and gems and crowns, I think, to raise your village to great heights! (Mine is a flourishing medieval town right now, for those who are wondering.) Call me Mama Lazy and you wouldn’t be too far off.
But I have been somewhat productive. Seems that my designing mojo is returning (slowly) and I’ve been whipping out some of my favourite tools to create lovely patterns. Basic perhaps, but after the slump I’ve been experiencing, it’s definitely something!
Today’s offering is a dazzling collection of fine gold filigree patterns on luscious dark backgrounds. The papers look much prettier at their full size.

You know, I thought that having my kids at preschool and kindy would make my life easier and allow me to get things done. Boy, was I deluded. I’ve been wildly off my feet with all sorts of exciting activities; I don’t even know which was is up anymore, or what day it is or what the heck I’m supposed to be doing right now. (Shopping maybe? Shopping sounds fun.)
So I chilled out in that spare five seconds I’ve had this month and made some vintage-y flower journal cards. Hope you like them and find them useful. Click on the image below to start your download.
You can check out the Pixel Scrapper forums for some gorgeous and amazing flowery goodness.
Happy scrapping!
I had these gorgeous images that I was using for another project, and I thought they’d make lovely journal cards. I love vintage ephmera. I probably have more than I should – I definitely have more than I’ll ever need! Might as well make use of it and share it.
There are four cards of sweet little vintage illustrations, in both colour and black and white.

It’s not quite April but here’s my contribution anyway!
Despite my ridiculously obsessive love of books, I feel that this month’s offering is a bit underwhelming, and I am sorry! But I’ve been feeling a bit funky lately.
Maybe it’s the weather? (Is it summer? Is it autumn? Will it rain today or will we have another heatwave – or both? Who knows?!)
Anyway, click on the image to download this teensy little kit.
Happy scrapping!
Alpha time!
I believe I’ve had this one sitting about for a while, waiting for some final touches. Finally it’s finished! Just a simple and cute little paper cut-out vintage alpha.
It’s quite versatile. Use it shadowed or as is, blend it into your papers (invert the colours before playing with layer styles for a burnt paper look). But most of all, enjoy it!
Happy scrapping!
