NEWS

Hi everyone!

I was working on new digital papers last week, but also on some brainstorming with ChatGPT for new products. With rise of planners again, there's demand for full page stickers and trackers, so I might go into that niche soon. But papers and journal pages will still be my favorite thing to do. I have so many new things started, maybe I'll finish some untill next week.

Here's a little insight what my cats are doing lately. Zorro is in cabinet where sweets are stashed, and Lilly likes to mess up blanket on couch in living room before she falls asleep there.

ON SALE

Newest paper pack in my Payhip store is Lady by the sea. Since I barely can use CF Flow now with new changes, I turned to Canva. I actually have to use Canva to finish images from Flow, so this way I'm doing it faster. And it looks more vintage. Plus, this is made with prompts from my dear friend Jody.

PS. I have a Christmas sale starting on 23rd untill Jan 1st with whooping 75% off, so take your chance to stash.

I'm really thinking about what to do with my CF store. Since I earn money only on their subscription - and that might change soon too - I'm not sure it's good to keep all my products there from everyone to just grab them freely. I might do some deleting after Christmas.

MY SCRAPBOOKING WORLD

FRIENDLY FREEBIE

This week freebie is from my old blog (which I should actually delete because Google constantly send "error" messages).

These days I'm focusing on Benable site. I started slow, but I see that I have some small success. My book reccomendations are getting many views and I'm earning small fees when someone buys those books. So I'm spreading into other niches as well, like Cat's toys, Movies, Hobbies etc. You can check all my lists here:

Now, about Creative Fabrica and why I am getting more and more angry with them.
Right now I'm paying for TWO subscriptions. One is for full site, so that I can use many tools, download bundles and other products. That subscription covered using AI Studio and Flow up untill few days ago.
So now I have to pay separate subscription - same price - for be able to use Studio and few more tools that they added - didn't even try them yet. And Flow now gives only 1 image for every click and takes up 40 "coins" for that. So I will keep that only for creating images for Tuesday game in our group or for experimenting with new prompts. It is going to be useful because I got 650K of "coins" for a year, but it's time consuming to create enough images for set of papers.

My dear friend Karen opened her Payhip store. You really need to take a look, those papers are amazing!

These jumbo paperclips are getting more popular these days, I still need to try one to see what it's all about. Apparently they are new version of bookmarks. With this cute little pack you get PNG and Canva template to create your own, and it's totally free in CF.

NEWS Hi everyone!Last week was very busy for me, so I didn't design much. I'm working on my Benable lists every day and it slowly shows progress. Also, I'm helping my friends keep up with their stores and teaching members of the group how to control their Etsy shops and how to do AI designs with CF Flow.My cats are really getting more and more relaxed. Lilly started to be really vocal when she wants something from me. She comes up, meows and looks toward bedroom. She wants to cuddle on big...

NEWS Hi everyone!I was kind of sick last week and I didn't work much on new products. Lately I have less and less time to work on my designs, even upload old stuff to Payhip.But I learned a Canva trick how to create digital papers faster, so that might give me new mojo to try again. My cats are also trying to find new mojo for their life. It's very cold inside our home, even though we do have heaters on. So they bundle up in blanket and sleep more than usual. Lilly had an issue with eating...

NEWS Hi everyone!Weather is starting to get warmer again. Snow is melting, it's easier to walk through the city and overall better. I had a huge thing last week. My old home, which is just few yards away from my new home where I live now for 3 years, is falling apart. That huge snow made a hole in ceiling in bedroom, so I had to go and save some stuff I left there because there's not exactly enough space for it in my new home. But now I have to find it! Wish me luck, a lot of those things...
