I wish you a very Happy New Year 2016. Let’s see what wonderful things it brings for us.
We spent some really wonderful days with our family, kids are happy and now back to our daily routine.
I created the first collection for 2016 and really like the result. Filled with many numerous beautiful vintage goodies and it makes a very versatile collection called Contentment:
You’ll get: handmade paper flowers, dried leafs, curly string, messy stitch (or thread), clock, chicken wire stamps, postage stamps, a butterfly, buttons and lace pieces, ruler and measure tape pieces, frames of course …. everything so wonderful to play with
Included in the Page kit you find 10 beautiful textured Papers + 10 extra Papers. These are modified versions of the originals.
See them all in the previews below:
This set contains 4 stacked papers
Included are .jpg files and .psd files as well as .tiff files
Combine and Mix and Match them with each as you wish and create fantastic scrapbook pages.

- Artful Planner
This year I started making my own artful planner.
I don’t use the calendar inserts that usually come with the organizer. Instead of
I create each insert myself digitally in photoshop and decorate it. When finished I just print it out, cut in half, hole punch and put it in the binder.
That’s how my first week this year looked:
And the very first page:
I also made all dividers myself using the Sanctuary Papers I created a while back for Blue Fern Studios, got a laminator and a 3 (6) hole punch.
With the 2nd week I started to add on the printed pages some stickers. I used past Winter Kits, just printed a few elements, cut around and added them on top of the page.
For now it is just playing around a bit, trying what works best and having fun.

Happy New Year and thank you for the quick page. By the way, Irene’s “family memories” with parts of the portraits extending past the frame is awesome. I’ll have to try that too with one of the old photos I have, but will try using one of the great grand-children’s pictures and have the my mother reaching out to what would have been her great-great-grandchild. Then I’ll title it “Through the Generations”. Thanks so much for the idea. Blessings, Handmaiden Dotty
THank so much Handmaiden Dotty. I loved that framing too, it’s so unique! Great idea with your photos and the title. Would love to see 🙂
