when i grow up revealed plus letterhunt winner!

Oh my goodness that letterhunt was fun huh! I love to play games, tease and joke and to be honest I don't think I will ever grow up nor do I want to haha! It's my way of dealing with the stress of every day life and I am sure that, if you are honest, you agree that taking a ride on the swings or picking up a hair brush and singing along that song on the radio from when you were just 16 -real loud when no one's looking-, is still plain fun! Although we might look older now, we never really grow up!

With that in mind Janine from Foxy Designs and I created this fantastic kit containing an alpha, 24 gorgeously textured, handmade papers in a young and timeless color scheme, plus 52 elements in different styles and textures that are just perfect for everyone who, like us, never really wants to grow up whether you are 7 or 77!

Janine has it in her Zig Zag store and since it is a bit overdone to put up the same kit twice in one store you can grab mine at my DSB store! Of course it will be 20% off from Friday through Sunday!

And here is is!

I also made a matching alpha that you can grab at my FaceBook page in exchange for a like!

and I am leaving you here with a collection of the most beautiful and creative layouts to give you and idea of what your pages could look like when you start playing with this kit!

From left to right and top to bottom these works of art have been made by:
Ana, Andrea & Ve
Mirjam (me), Suzanne & Barbara
Muriel, Sarah & Rory
Natascha, Masevy & Virjul
Gizele, Chantal & Heather
Barbara, Muriel & Sandy

And now for the winner of the letterhunt!
I put the names in alphabetical order for the draw and that made Alyna the winner!
Congratulations! You're coupon is already in the mail!

1. Alyna

new collab with my friend ValC, DSB is turning 5 and I am published!!

Happy Friday everyone and thanks for dropping in!

--- NEW COLLAB ---

I am very excited about what I have to tell you! Today Val and I put up our long overdue collab in the stores! We have been talking about designing a kit together for a long, long time and finally we have! Val is putting it up at the Zig Zag Scrap store so you will be able to find mine at DigiScrappers Brasil and until the end of May at my guest store Sugarhill Co.

We chose a timeless, neutral, beachy kind of colour scheme that will make your photos shine whether you choose to go for b&w, sepia or coloured ones. No less than 51 wordart variations, 34 soft coloured, subtly patterned and slightly grungy papers combined with 45 timeless elements in a variety of textures and styles plus an alpha are included in this amazing bundle! You can get the paper, wordart and element pack seperatly but of course you will be saving many dollars if you buy the whole enchilada instead of all seperate ingredients!!

I allready spilled the 'chili beans' on my FB page a little, to keep it in the enchilada spirit, we planned something special for the release!

We are in the designer spotlight the ZZS Fun-Place from May 14 until May 29th!! At ZZS we call that 'Bird on a Wire' Spots. Because it is the 2 of us celebrating we are 'on the Wire' for 2 whole weeks and we are not just sitting there!!! 

Nope, no way!

We are hosting 3 awesome challenges and that is what I was hinting about on my FaceBook page!!! There will be a one week recipe challenge starting May 14th and ending the 22nd for which we are handing out free ingredients, if you know what I mean

The second week we have a template challenge (May 22-29)and during both weeks we have a blind scraplift challenge. For this one we will describe a layout that you will have to lift!!!Now that is what I call a challenge!

We are so going to rock the Fun-Place!!! Make sure to visit and enter in as many challenges as you can because after the two weeks, when the challenges have closed and the winners are picked we are going to let or lovely assistant mr. Random pick 2 winners from all the challenge entries!! Yep you got that right entering 3 challenges means getting your name 3 times in the drawing and thus more chances to win!

Learn more about it at the Fun-Place where you'll be able to find everything you need to know as of Saturday morning May 14th!!

Here are some fabulous layouts made by members of my personal CT, the ZZS CT and the DSB CT
