A French Affair

For those who know me, they know I adore Paris. Just the idea of Paris sends my heart aflutter. It is not surprising that my Muse often presents an idea with Parisian flare. So it is with the new collection, A French Affair.
While in Paris not so long ago, I came across a wonderful shoppe not far from the Eiffel Tower. Tiny and tucked away, it holds one of the exquisite collections of linen I have ever seen.

Each piece tied with a shimmery ivory silk bow, from which hung a black oval tag. The presentation is unforgettable.

Inspired by that small shoppe in the heart of Paris, I have created "A French Affair".

Warm neutrals form the base for this romantic collection of 6 prints and stripes, accompanied by 2 beautiful laser cut papers and a 2 pieces of coordinating card stock - a total of 10 Parisian pretties for your next project.


This paper kit is perfect for Romantic, BFF and Heritage layouts, card making and collage art. The collection is created at 300dpi for superior print and quality.

Summer by the Sea

There is nowhere I would rather be than spending Summer by the Sea!

Picture a romantic, quiet cottage by the sea. Framed by ancient, cascading rose vines and edged with a quaint picket fence, gently aged by the salty air. Chatty sea birds sing on the breeze as they swoop over waving sea grass and soft rolling dunes. From the white framed windows one can witness the rise and set of a brilliant August sun over seas of azure blue.

This seaside shabby inspired kit is 130mb and is comprised of enough papers, ribbons and elements to create an entire album. Accent your cherished photographs with soft washed colour, gently aged textures and patterns, and vintage inspired elements of lace, wood and glass.

As a special bonus, a coordinating CD label is included. Just copy the graphic into a CD labeling software and print out on the label paper. Then, back up your files onto the CD and your investment is safeguarded and easily identifiable.

The Summer by the Sea kit contains:

9 Papers
10 Bows
7 Ribbons
10 Tags
7 Buttons
6 Frames

Vintage Inspiration!

Here is my newest design set. Inspired by a vintage dress I found at a local antique store, I have pulled together sepia, black and cream in a wonderful combination of vintage texture and patterns.

Part of "The Heritage Collection", "Vintage" is a set of 11 backgrounds/papers. As you can see, the aged patina will work well in both the heritage and romantic themes. This collection is licensed for Limited Professional Use and priced affordable for the S40 scrapper.

I am on staff as a designer for Digiscrapdesigner, and this is where you can purchase Vintage, as well as look at some of my other designs.

Below are a couple of layout examples using the papers and the embellishments from the "Vintage" collection:
