Esprit de Noël, new and on sale !

Hi everyone!

 Layout by wildchild (here at DST)

You are my favorite season ! Yes indeed , love this time of the year where everyone is anticipating the holidays and spending time with friends and family!

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Calvin Coolidge

Bisontine  and myself have teamed again to work on another Christmas collab.

After Noël Chic , here is Esprit de Nöel.

By Myself (inspired by Elin aka ScrappySmile's LO)

By she (Monika's LO has inspired my blog banner! here at DST)

By Jimena

By Monic ( whose LO has inspired the design on the right side of the blog, here at DST)

This collaboration is special to us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did designing it together.

Be sure to look through the preview details.

Since this kit is so big we had to divide up the previews to show it all off!

One of our favorite winter flower is Hellebore and Hellebores’ muted shades naturally flatter our favorite color combination of MAUVES and GREENS.

 

Preserve your memories from Christmas with this unique and beautiful collab.

Based on a exciting palette of purple, green, blue, silver and gold, it is filled with unique and versatile elements and beautifully textured papers.

This kit has been designed with both out door and indoor pictures in mind.

 

To celebrate our third collab, we are offering a FREE set of seasons wordarts designed by Bisontine with the purchase of this kit

 

It comes with 20 highly textured, 12" papers(300 dpi, .jpg ), 4 different versions of an alpha (letters and numbers), many wordarts and more than 140 elements ( many of them have a soft shadowed version and different colored versions).

S4H friendly

The fabulous Gallery created by my awesome team! Some of them have scrapped up to 4 pages with this kit. I cannot show them all to you and will have a photo album soon on my blog !

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bisontine has also designed with the kit these charming Christmas cards both in French and in English.

They are not Quick Pages but just cards you can print and use to send your wishes at the end of the year :

The three lucky winners of the kit have been announced in the previous post! :)

As you can see I have redone my blog design inspired by the fabulous talent of three of my CT scrappers : Monika aka She, Monic and SeattleSheri.

A big thank you to the three of them for sharing their talent with me !

Have all a fabulous day !

Cheers

I bring you two new products this week : a new variation in my Pêle Mêle serie with a free gift and a Guy Things Quick Pages Album.

 

Pêle Mêle, Memory Keeper : Autumn Variation

Free Gift Included

 

For those of you who are not familiar yet with the Pêle Mêle serie, it is a French Memory Board or French Memory keeper. It's a pretty place for photos, cards and mementos: a French memory board! The kit contains a psd file for the memory board allowing you to tuck your photos or card behind the ribbons or strings without having to use the eraser tool. Beautiful and so easy! This kit will enable you to create special and personalized memories of gifts.

Fifth in a serie of several memory keepers, Pêle Mêle, Autumn Variation is packed with elements you’ll want to use over and over : A “memory board” (in psd file) and golden and unique elements. In this Autumn variation, I bring you all the richness of the fall colors, but the kit is versatile enough to create any kind of warm and beautiful layouts.

This kit contains more than 55 elements, and 10 beautifully textured papers ( 12" papers, 300 dpi, .jpg ) and 1 memory board (psd and png files.)
