Hand-drawn Digital Scrapbooking kits and Clip Art for teachers, scrapbookers and crafters!
I’m sharing some more scrapbooking inspiration from the Creative Team today, this time with a back-to-school feel! My kids have been back in school for a month now and we’ve settled into our new school routine – my son started secondary school this year so that means earlier starts and lots more homework! Here are …
With Halloween only a few weeks away, I thought I’d share some more spooky pages and projects from the Creative Team with you today, Friday 13th! These layouts were created with this month’s Featured Kit – originally created as part of a collaboration kit with the amazingly awesome (and now sadly retired) Kaye Winiecki, Oogly …
I have had this set of doodles on my to-do list for a very long time, somehow they never made their way to the top among all the seasonal bits and pieces I like to draw! So with Digital Scrapbooking Day around the corner I decided to bump it to the top of that to-doodle …
Over the years since I first made it, I have had a few requests for different images for various letters in my alphabet A to Z set to better suit the layout being created, and even to help create an alphabet project in a different language! Every now and then I also get customers asking …
October seems to have crept up on me, it only feels like last week the kids were preparing to go back to school and now all of a sudden Halloween is round the corner! Halloween is a really fun celebration for me to create for, both in my scrapbooking and my design work, I love …

Coffee and donuts – yum! Such a perfect combination 😉 I created this kawaii style doodle in my sketchbook a while ago, and finally got round to scanning it in and creating a colouring page from it. The original drawing was inspired by an Instagram drawing challenge with a coffee theme, but I couldn’t resist …

After featuring the girlie sleepover kit PJ Party last month, it time for the boys’ turn this month! Boys’ Night In was created as a less pretty, more boyish version of a sleepover or slumber party, with added smelly socks! (And is also perfect for scrapping about the messes to be found in teenage bedrooms!!) As …

We have a couple of weeks left of our (all too short!) summer holidays here in England, and as a family we are certainly making the most of the slower pace of life and lack of school timetables! We got to go away for a week to the beautiful Cornish coast (I shared a few …
This month’s Featured Kit is another set of doodles that was created for my daughter, this time it was her sleepover adventures that inspired my drawings.

School is *almost* finished here, we are creeping towards that magical last day of term and the start of six weeks of lie-ins and lazy days! Ahhh, bliss! We’re hoping to really relax this summer by heading off to somewhere warm, sunny and tropical for a family holiday / vacation – think palm trees, blue …
One of my Creative Team members has a well-known love (or should that be obsession?!) for coffee and often sneaks a take-out cup or coffee mug doodle onto her pages! As a result, I’ve started to think of this doodle pack as “The Christa Kit”, with all its coffee loving goodies! I often thought of …

We still have another five weeks of school left before our summer break, but many of my teacher pals across the Atlantic have already finished for the summer and are enjoying some well-earned rest and relaxation (at least until they start preparing for the next school year!). Here are a few of the projects they …
The sun is shining, the kids are playing in the garden and I can hear the distant sound of an ice cream van doing the rounds – it seems that summer might finally be here at last! Yay! I love summer, although it never really gets very hot here I do love seeing blue skies …
If you are a regular reader of this blog then you will remember me telling you about my lovely friend Beth and sharing her story with you: This is a little project I have been working on for a while now. I have often mentioned how much I enjoy designing for the digital scrapbook community …
Over the Rainbow is an old favourite of mine, it reminds me of 1980’s cartoons and kids’ TV shows with a hint of neon kitsch thrown in for good measure! I do love colour and this one has all the colours. It makes me smile! This pack has been on my “make stamps for” list …

The inspiration for my illustrations can come from all sorts of places: my kids’ latest obsession, colour palettes, TV shows, magazine spreads, colour palettes, a favourite book, a family trip, friend’s hobbies, oh and did I mention colour palettes?! I do love a nice juicy colour scheme! A friend’s daughter’s Halloween costume actually inspired this …
I must admit – I am not much of a camper. Or rather, I am a not much of a tent camper (thank you wet, soggy school camping trips for totally turning me off to the whole experience!) but I do love to be outdoors with my family and my dogs – just preferably with …
