Getting Animalistic!

Wow! It's been awhile since I posted - okay, not a LONG while like I've done in the past, but almost a month...oops! This is what happens when real life gets in the way...sigh...

But, I love the new Animalistic Collection from Pretty Dutch Designs! It's part of the April Memory Mix at MScraps, so you can mix and match the packs to your heart's content. And while this month's palette is a soft and earthy mix of aqua, brown, and black, the colors are perfect for all kinds of photos. Let's take a quick look at Animalistic...

The Animalistic Transfers - my personal favorite!

Finally, all the papers - four packs consisting of two artsy papers packs, animal papers and a solid paper pack:

While it's only natural that you think these papers work great for zoo photos, you can use them for other themes as well! Here are a couple of examples...

Painted Negative Brushes and Lyrical Sheets

When I was growing up, I tried out several different instruments. I loved going to the music store to look at the sheets of music arranged alphabetically in the bins. So when Amber of Crafty Button Designs released Lyrical Sheets Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 this week, I was so excited - a chance to take sheets printed with musical notes and become creative! Yes! Sign me up!

Spring Bling!

So much of the eastern part of the U.S. is still stuck under freezing cold temperatures, rain, and snow. Being on the West coast, I tend to forget that since we're not having a typical winter. 

Chantal of Pretty Dutch Designs has new soft pastel colors for this week's release. The Spring Bling papers and journal cards will have you wanting the beautiful freshness and warmth of spring!
