I have certainly thought of it for a long time: Should I do another year of Diary Files? Or should I do something very different from that. Now, almost at the end of the year designwise, I come to a few conclusions that will have impact for those who follow me in the scrapbook world: I won't stop with digital scrapbooking, do not want to stop with Digital Scrapbooking Studio either. But... there won't be another year of the Diary Files. If you know my collections for TDF, you

Welcome to the Studio’s Annual Christmas Carol Blog Hop. Every year the Studio Designers gather together to “Sing Christmas Carols” to all of our members, customers, fans & friends. It’s a way for us all to say Merry Christmas and a big Thank You for being so supportive of us. Each participating Designer has chosen a special Christmas Carol just for you and designed a cute mini freebie around it. So put on your dancing shoes & singing voices and come caroling with us.

When I started to do even more logbook and art journaling stuff it became obvious that this was my thing. It wasn't very much, but it was so fun to do, so great to design these things that I am sure

Last weekend I went to sea with my family. We were going to spent a long weekend in four houses front row on the beach. Ans the weather was sooo good! The sea was still a little cold, but it was good enough to make 13 of our family of 16 go in the water for a little surf lesson. Wow, they had so much fun! Now I'm making up for those days that I coudn't work properly on my new (revised) collection. So here a few of my CT's and my own pages made with this collection. I think yo

And now that I am re-uploading some of the collection, I can really see how I can make them better than before. More in harmony or just more versatile. In fact, sometimes I get whole new ideas with the theme and... I suck for pocket cards! I think these are awesome to make and awesome to place into a layout or just printout as stand alones. I made them as an extra to
