Oh how quick January has passed! I didn't even have the time to make my own execises and assignments! Not that it is of any matter. Anyhow, I had a wonderful short break on Malta. It was fun and very inspiring. Since it wasn't very warm and Summer-like, we could visit a lot. We saw so many great buildings, from the Medieval and later, but also a stand alone building that is even older than Stonehenge, or the pyramids in Egypt. It was amazing and I'm sure I will show you more

I didn't realize it before, but bringing back my old collections to a new site makes it far easier to revise them. Of course I didn't intend to go on a new digital scrapbook adventure in the first place, but now that I have returned at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, I feel so freed from my old values. I feel like my hands are untied now. I know, I made those restrictions myself for the biggest part, but one thing I love about this shop is that I could easily sell in another sho

Yesterday I totally forgot about the blog, though I had a selfie portrait ready. So here it is and of course also the photo I used. See you later today for today's portrait! As you can see it's not very inspiring this photo, but it's what I make of it that counts for me and I must say, I have a good feeling about the result. I have always liked fortune teller and this portrait gives me the feeling I am one :) I used papers from Artisan papers, flowers from Mindful Flowers and

I started from my bed today. I kind of planned it. My last thoughts before I fell asleep yesterday were that I wanted to have a hand on my face and make the photo of today while I was still in bed. And so I did. I loved playing with the colors and digital (Photoshop) layers with styles, different opacities, blends etc. Here's the (terrible) photo I used. No further comment. And here is what I made with my selfie. I hope to see you again tomorrow! #Red #Goodmorning #Bed #inbed

Since I always loved comic books when I was young, I have a weekness for those text balloons. Awesome too if you ask me, when you're digiscapping. I made a set of text balloons in the Sk8r Girl collection and this is an occasion when it comes in handy. Here the selfie and the digital portrait I made for today... #Selfie #selfieproject #project #projectselfie #portrait #digital #comic #textballons #text #yellow #yellowdress #scrapbook #Illustrator #Photoshop #April #comicbooks

Some things in life take a lot of courage. What other people see as a piece of cake, can be an absolute struggle for you. On the other side, there might be things that cost you a minute, while there are people who find those same things unbearable and a huge challenge. I will tell you about my struggles. Not al - too boring, but one thing at a time. I have always liked drawing and I have always hated it to see photo's of myself or to hear myself. I love photography, but I pre

I have always sold quick pages. I still do. Sometimes they are in my newsletter, as a freebie (so make sure you subscribe so you won't miss a thing) and sometimes I just make them in a certain color, or theme. Now these Easy Pieces as I call them, are always 9 per pack en always for a fixed price (except for when they're on sale). Some people think that it is not done to buy these quick pages. And they are right in a way, because if you only use quick pages and nothing else,

Frames are always good in digital scrapbooking. I don't talk about metal or wooden frames, but I talk about paper frames. I used to have a series called Eye Love You products which were always good because the helped you with your prhoto's. For instsance: a good frame is when it supports your photo in the best possible way. So if there is a girl in the photo with beautiful green eyes, maybe you could use a frame with the same color in it. Or if you have a set of photo's that

I knew where it was leading to: a lot of work, a lot of stress again, and a lot of puzzeling and planning. But when I returned to my digital scrapbooking roots I knew that it was also a lot of fun and that I had to do with cheerful and inspiring people. A warm bath so to speak. So here is some stuff that's new in the shop. This collection will be available in my shop tonight. There is a bundle with everything in it, a kit with only the elements and all the papers (3 packs), a

I didn't do this on purpose, leaving digital scrapbooking and telling I would never come back. I didn't plan to leave anyway, but that was because all the things I really wanted to learn took me so much time that I couldn't really divide my attention anymore. So I did the wonderful courses, first Make Art That Sells A and later B and Bootcamp. After that we had a Global Art Gathering in Brighton and I made it to the semi-finals when I joined the Global Talent Search. All cour

I never have done this the way I suppose to do it, but I did make letters before. I have an unbelievable amount of alphabets in my digital collection. Here are a few of my own favorites. Okay, so you see, I not only made a huge variety of alphabets, but i also made a font. Soon I will be selling more fonts, but that has to wait untill after my e-courses! If you want to see all of my alphabets, please go to the gallery (coming soon!) #lettering #editorial #alphabets #fonts #di

I made this manifesto as a combination between one of the little assignments from Lilla Rogers and with the stuff I made for this '10 Reasons Why' collection. And here are the forgotten pages from Susan AKA suslyn... I finish this topic with one of the pages I made especially with one of the Overlays and with the Elements and Alphabet: #10reasonswhy #alphabet #digitallogbook #digital #digitalscrapbooking #easter #design #floral #floralprint #flowerprint #flower #friday6march
