Brand new kits!!!

Yes, the brand New Year is here and the four of my brand new kits are going to hit the store in the couple of days! - two of them are done in a totally different "scribbled" grungy-funky style - a Valentine day themed kit and a starry page kit, one is a doodled kit called Prim Love (yes, primitive country style again LOL!)

The last one is a must-have for fantasy and fairytale lovers - it is done in an altered art style with all that vintage ephemera pieces, looks festive and shabby all at the same time - actually this kit is my fav this month - we were reading Andersen's fairytales with DD and it is made after these.

Hope you'll like them and will be choosing something to your taste :)

A Happy New Year!

Yeeeeeeeeah! My gingerbread dream :)

Okay folks! I'm a Catholic too (although in Russia we have the most Orthodox people) - so I needed to do it asap before the 25th! These two days I was REALLY-AWESOMELY-FANTASTICALLY-EXCLUSIVELY-ABOLUTELY busy!!!! Both yesterday and today were dedicated fully to my latest creation - Arina's first gingerbread house!!!! Well, it turned out to be a mansion more than a house LOL And - it is TOTALLY done from scratch! We don't have any kits for sale here in Russia so I had to download a pattern, print and cut it out, then make my own dough based on a recipe, even icing is egg whites whipped with sugar powder and lemon juice... Man, was I exhausted??? LOL But I found myself so addicted - I felt like a small child in a fairytale! - that I created two houses - the second one will go as a gift for my parents. DD often goes to their place and enjoys her staying there, so they NEEDED that house! LOL

For sure I had some extra dough so I baked those cute Xmas trees to give as small gifts for our dear ones and friends :) I decorated them with icing and sugar balls - well, tomorrow I'm going to shop for some cute gift wraps! :)

Oh gosh, I think that's all :) I falling down tired and excited :)

Merry merry merry Christmas to all of you guys!!!

Two more new kits!

Two more kits as I have promised - one of them a lacy luxurious wedding one called Ivory Chic - would do for modern wedding photos as well as heritage ones; the other one called Charmeuse (in French meaning "she who is charming") is amazingly versatile with its country floral textures and shabby looks.

Hope you like these too! :)

New September products - take a peek

So I've promised to show two more of my new page kits for the coming month - here they are finally. Those were dependant on my moods - so they turned out to be totally different... Like the end of August usually is - with its autumn cool mornings when you can almost see your breath in the air and still hot summer days! Beaded Folly is the page kit also inspired by my old hobby - used to keep some beading supplies in one of my drawers... summery bright and lollipop colors are perfect for summer photos! Septembering page kit is absolutely different with its hints of dark brown foliage and rainy days, ripe grapes and dusty gold... Let the autumn reign.

Available at the DSP store from the 4th of September.

August?... September?... Oooomph...LOL

Well - here are two more absolutely new page kits I've come up with this weekend!

Another fairytale kit called Where Elves Live - absolutely magical, enchanting and fabulous, full of that magical paraphernalia we all remember from old legends and tales. I actually created it for my dear daughter Arina who's so fond of fairytale books (not toys huh!) being only one year old! That's why I've turned an old leather volume into a photo frame:)

The other one - paper style, called Cozy Grunge, with lots of paper and carton elements, curled and folded ribbons and staples.

Now I'm totally lost which of all these to send to the store first LOL :) Maybe you will decide!

Cheers,

Irene V. Alexeeva,

Getting ready for the spooky par-tay!!! I was contemplating lots over these Scrappy Dresses of mine - and an idea struck me - why not make a set of costumes for Halloween?
Here these are - 8 pieces so far -probably I'll have time to make more, even a set of kids' costumes too... But these are sexy, spooky and humorous all at once - besides very detailed and rather large for sure to use them on 12x12 layouts!

Look for Scrappy Halloween Costumes in the DSP store in autumn.

Fresh new kits for August!!!

I won't write too much today - you guys were asking me to put the previews of my new kits for August on my blog. Here they finally are - hope you are going to like them :)

Knitting Around page kit... finally :)

This is a page kit inspired by scraphag85, Webfrau and scraplikecrazy - DSP members. Hope you are going to like it guys! Scrap your knitting photos with it - all the elements included look touchable and are designed in faded colors to accentuate the photo in the layout. Being versatile this kit can be used many times - with your pet photos (who would argue on cats and dogs playing with yarn?), kids and heritage photos (remember granny was knitting those warm mittens for you?) and just everyday winter pics (a good woollen sweater would be just in time for the frost!).

Will be available in the DSP Store from August, 4th.

Warmest regards,

Paperland Page Kit

Well,I guess I'm starting up August! LOL

This kit is notmy usual style, but I wanted to make it so desperately - I used to have so much fun with paper crafts when I was a kid!

Do you remember yourself as a child - there comes a moment when you get bored with all the toys you've got and start CRAFTING! Everything is good - old newspapers, envelopes and last year postcards, school notebooks, tape and bandage strips, cardboard and packing paper... Pack your bags to the thrilling country called Paperland - as soon as you take the scissors and start cutting those numerous paperdoll chains! A very versatile and so much fun kit will help you to create a great layout for lots of occasions, especially scrapping kids and everyday pictures.

Warmest regards,

Irene V. Alexeeva,

CanCan Page Kit

I remember the colorful Feerie show at Moulin Rouge where the dancers wore flower hairpins which were made all of dainty black netting adorned with sequins - that's how this page kit started and got its name! Antique colors and vintage textures were added later when I thought of old Monmartre and that famous movie. "In the name of love, one night in the name of love!..." And that is true - with this kit your pictures (whatever they could be - heritage, romance, wedding, everyday) will look Spectacular-Spectacular!Even the papers of this kit designed in dark green and dirty mauve have gotten the names of the famous cabarets - Moulin Rouge, Lido, Folies Bergere... Welcome to the world of french cancan - luxurious and sad, sexy and prudent, wild and passionate.

Cheers,

Irene V. Alexeeva,

DSP Designer

Versailles Page Kit

This one is my newest - gonna hit the store in July. I still wanted to design something Christmassy, yet a kit that should be versatile and used for many purposes. Actually it was inspired by my last trip to Versailles. Old gold furnishings, darkened shabby ruby upholsteries and some irresistible air of dignity, luxury and beauty of the century. This kit designed in burgundy and old gold colors is amusing in its versatility: the papers and elements included will make a spectacular showcase for heritage and Christmas photos, as well as wedding and romance pictures.

Hope you'll like this one :)

Cheers,

Irene V. Alexeeva,
