NEWS

Hi everyone!
Weather here got really cold - one morning we had exactly 1.4 F!!! That's -17 C. It was snowy, with lots of ice and rain afterwards. Very scary to walk in places where people just don't care to remove the snow, which is pretty much my whole street!

My Mom is having fun with her crochet hobby. She's doing crochet - well, amigurumi - for couple of years now, but she got some pretty nice orders lately. And cats, whoa, they are having so much energy during the day. Lilly had the best time on couch in living room with blanket. She would cover herself with blanket and then pretend she can't come out, just so that I would come and give her some belly rubs. Like she doesn't get enough. Zorro comes very early in the morning to me and sleeps with my right hand around him like a hug.

ON SALE

Last time I showed you my new Ultimate bundle in Payhip, thanks to those that took a look.

Recently I learned about some new stuff for planners and junk journals and I'm working on those, but here's paper pack that will be part of DS bundle next month and after that in Ultimate bundle.

And I tried Kawaii pattern for Valentine's day. Not sure if it's good enough, but CF likes it anyway.

MY SCRAPBOOKING WORLD

Ilonka will have retirement sale on starting January 16. Don't worry, it's not her quitting, she's just selling some of oldest designs for the last time.

You know I love creating digital papers. These overlays in Ilonka's store are part of her big collection, but it can be used separately to upgrade any other kit as well.

So, these images above are all kits that will be on sale next week. Get ready if you wanted to buy them, especially CU items because you can use them as addition to pretty much any of Ilonka's kits. And maybe by other designers too. But more about it next week.

Speaking of interesting things for creating papers or adding to other kits, these modge podge "splashes" from Maggie's collection are great thing.

And another thing for new versions of papers, this time in Kimeric's store (although I didn't try it yet by myself, but I know it can be done)

In Jody's store, she's updating some of her Muses, and one of them is DreamMuse. It's creating amazing, glowing, shining flowers and just about anything you can imagine. It's great to combine with other Muses to get some unexpected designs.

FRIENDLY FREEBIE

Another old freebie from my blog.

TELL ME MORE

Speaking of my blog, I'm getting ready to start new one. Not so much about freebies, although I might post a few here and there. I love to explore and learn things, especially incvolving different products, different store, basically what ever I use for my designing and every day. So I will have blog with posts that I create with tips about Etsy, Creative Fabrica, Benable etc. and my plan is to work on Instagram or Facebook reels with those same tips in short forms. We'll see how that will go, but plan is here.

One of designers from Gingerscraps that I liked is going to retire for good. She's Tinci Designs and she created mostly layout templates. She was feeling ill in last few months and just decided that it's time to quit.

This is her store, in case you want to jump in and buy some great templates

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...
