Mystical Forest and Photoshop Word path kits

I am very excited to announce that today three new products of mine came out in the Scrapstreet.com store. The paperkit Mystical Forest and two Word Path kits, Circle and Square.

Mystical forest was inspired by this beautiful picture that I had of my daughter playing in the woods. The colors in that picture where the base for this paper kit. This kit contains 8 patterned papers and is now available at the scrapstreet.com store- http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=437&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338
The Wordpath kits can be found in the scrapstreet.com store at the link : http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=438&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338
and http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=439&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338



These photoshop wordpaths are so easy to use! Just open the file, double click on the the T in the text layer. Now the text will be selected. At this point you can change the text, font, font size and color. In the layout below I used a wordpath to journal and to decorate as well! The papers that I used come out of the new Mystical Forest kit.

Date Frames


Date frames was made because I thought it would be fun to combine the date with the frame. The Date frame kits ( 07-08 and 09-10 ) consist of 16 frames, 48 Dates and 3 Date markers. It is very easy to use, just slide the date into the open space in the frame.
The frames can also be used on their own, instead of the date you can also put some decoration in the opening in the frame. Both kits are now available at scrapstreet.com -http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=433&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338

Here is an example LO. I thought in this case it would be fun to let the slide come out of the frame.

Rustic Road


It's Autumn and all the trees around here have these great colors! What else can a designer do then make a kit inspired by all that beauty! So here it is: Rustic Road. It contains 10 patterned papers and 18 elements. Now available at Scrapstreet.com : http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=424&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338

Here are some layouts made with this kit:

This first beautiful LO is made by my dear friend Helen Hancock and shows that you can also use this kit for other topics apart from Autumn. She used the light paper-nr.1 for blending and paper-nr 10 as background for her beautiful wordart. You can download her wordart for free at: http://helensfamouslastwords.blogspot.com/

In this LO of my daughter I also used one of Helen's free wordart! Any time I get stuck with the text I just hub over to her Blog :) The background paper can be found in this kit.

This page is about my little son who always has so much fun when we go to the farm of his cousins.

In this last Layout I took the brown paper from the kit and blended it with an animal print paper to get this background effect. Then the white paper behind the photo I blended the wrinkled paper from to kit to get some more texture. To finish it off I used one of Helen Hancocks free wordarts Link: http://helensfamouslastwords.blogspot.com/

Just because...



The inspiration for this kit is my little son. We were the only ones up one saturday morning and he had this fun white shirt on the a few green blue and brown decorations. I loved the combination of these colors right away and as soon as I could get my hands on the PC I started on this kit :) Just because is now available in the scrapstreet.com store - http://www.scrapstreet.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=417&zenid=65bb8cdc429ec96578e1b26bcc801338

So in honor of my little son I decided to make the first LO with this kit about him.


Other products used: Jorinde- Date frames 07-08 ( also available at scrapstreet.com )



This next LO is made by the very talented Nichole! I totally love how she worked the elements from this kit to make this beautiful page!

This cool LO is made by my dear friend Helen Hancock. Who so elegantly made a 'just because' wordart for this LO. This free wordart and many other wordarts you can find at her free wordart blog: http://helensfamouslastwords.blogspot.com/

Gruvy Winter



Gruvy winter paper kit contains 8 beautiful patterned paper. 4 of them are textures with text and the other 4 have a watercolor effect! You can create cool effect by blending these papers with eachother! Like in the LO below. Here I blended the Yellow watercolored paper with the white to get the same look as the sky in the photo!
