Reach for the Sun Charity Collab now available at 9th & Bloom!

When Iva of Damayanti Studio's shared this amazing little girls journey with all of us designers, it really touched my heart and I was so pleased to be a part of the collab. It is my great pride I get to share this gorgeous sunny HUGE charity collab kit with you.

Drumroll please maestro........tadaaaaaaa:

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality."

The reality of 37 Designers coming together for one precious little girl is what you see here before you. We share the dream with 1 Mother and 1 little girl, we hope you will too. The dream is to be able to afford a very costly surgery to help a little girl with Cerebral Palsy walk. A gift that so many of us posses and so many of us take for granted. Vicky's Mother, Tzvetelina, will not stop believing that things for Vicky can and will improve. We won't stop believing either.
It is our hope that you see the sun shining in on this cheery kit the way we see the sun shining on the face of sweet Vicky and you will extend a hand to help. In turn you get this gorgeous mega collab bundle that will give you lots of opportunities to cherish your own precious memories.
100% of proceeds from this kit will go directly to Vicky's Mother, Tzvetelina.

Make a difference in the world...but we all know that is wishful thinking. Okay so a difference in someones life? Now that IS possible!
I believe that even the smallest gesture can lead to a big change in another persons life. No need to say that I didn't have to think twice when I was asked to participate in this mega charity collab kit coming Friday the 25th (this Friday) to 9th&B! Here is a little sneak peek for you:

new arrivals

Tons of new things to show and tell you about!
There's a new kit and new items that I created in the zig zag line colorpalette for February and  March. The collab products are in both my DSB and ZZS store. The zig zag line products obviously are available only at ZZS.

New collab with Studio Basic: Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss

--- 20% off during the weekend ---

The kit includes: 27 papers (21 patterned and 6 solids) * 1 lower case alpha a-z, international characters & numbers 0-9 * 3 fabulous templates and 56 unique elements!

And that is not all! Rubia and I started playing with the kit and this is what we came up with....lol....no layouts! hahaha!

Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss 6" x 4" mini album
Rúbia made the cutest little printable 6"x4" album. All you need to do to finish the album is add your photos and journal about the '10 things you love about the person you want to dedicate the album to'. When you're finished you will have the perfect gift for Valentine's Day!
Finished in no time!
Of course you can choose to give it an extra oomph by embellishing it after you printed it. It will take a little longer but the result will be all the more stunning and personal!
The size of the album makes it possible to print 2 pages on 8,5 x 12 inch paper aswell as the European standard A4 so it's definitely also a money saver. The album contains 10 .png files and 2.jpgs. The cover is in both an English AND Portuguese version!

--- 20% off during the weekend ---

Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss printable cards
I made a set of printable cards with the kit that I think are just perfect to surprise someone you love and not only on Valentine's Day but the whole year trough! There are 6 different designs. One of them is in .jpg format only and one in .png format only the others are in both formats so you can choose whether you'd like to send your card anonymous or put in a photo of yourself! There are also 3 templates to make it a real postcard or cards in which you can write your message more privately, portait and landscape option included. All items are of course created at 300 dpi for maximum print quality. If you want to give it an even more personal touch, sew on some real buttons, bows, sequins and/or ribbons!
The person receiving that awesome card will definitely know that he or she is loved!!!!

sneak peek

I have another little sneak peek for you!
For this lovely collab (yes.....it's so much fun to create somthing together) I teamed up with my dear friend Rúbia from Studio Basic again. We both like to scrap about how much we love our hubbies and most of the time those layouts are embellished with photos of us kissing! That is why we decided to make a collab that would suit our personal needs. We chose a fun & bright color scheme to make sure our snapshots will look funky and fresh and added a truck load of elements in a variety of styles, techniques and textures. Of course we added an alpha and a handful of artistic templates to get us started.
It turned out so spectacular we thought it would be a crime not to share!

And we didn't stop there! As I said we made it for our personal needs and couldn't wait to play with it. Turned out it wasn't directly layouts that we created........
