Happy DSD and New Releases

in ,

Hey everyone jaye here. I am so happy that Rachel has returned to digital design and that I get to brag about her amazing talents and the awesomeness that is created with them. Without further chatter here is the nitty gritty of what goodness will be filling Rachel’s store.

The first weekend of the month at The Lilypad means it is BYOC time and Rachel has created some amazing packs (or in a bundle if you’re a newsletter subscriber) that are sure to have you creating page after page.

I am so pumped to say that the Silent Battles series is making a return!! Yes, this amazing collab between Rachel and Ru of Studio Basic Designs is coming back. . . .this weekend!! I love the realness of this series as well as the many uses for the designs.

Here I present to you Silent Battles: Grief, available as a bundle or individually.

Silent Battles: Stress


Silent Battles: Negative Thoughts

Here are the Sale details in Rachel’s Shop, be sure to note the free with purchase gifts when you spend $15 or $25 dollars and don’t forget to check out the Party Forum where we are celebrating DSD!

Finally, Rachel has added a huge archive of hand crafted Mixed Media Digital Scrapbooking Papers. Please check your stash very carefully as some of these papers date back to 2012 and were all part of Kits or Collections at some time or another. They feature hand painting, collage, blending and other mixed media and digital artistry techniques. A treasure trove of mixed media goodness!

In total there are 137 papers valued at a whopping $87.25 and Half Price this DSD weekend. Due to the sheer volume of papers there are not previews of each set included but you can expect expectional quality, and my signature style collage, hand painting and mark making. Visit the shop to find a note of all the Kit/Collection names that these once belonged too.

Mixed Media treats from my archives

in

I hope you're having a good week!

It's taken me a little time to get back into things after both my kiddies have been sick and not sleeping well, I've been putting all of my free time into a really exciting project which I can tell you about later in the week but there’s a hint at the end of this post!

I Do My Own thing

in

Well sob sob, the time has come for us to send our little boy off on his first day at school yesterday! It felt really weird walking him to school, I mean I knew of course that this day would eventually come, but it felt surreal, like I was living somebody elses life. When people used to say to me, make the most of every moment, of these early years, they are so right! I didn't pay much attention back in the day, it felt like the days were so long and that they were going to last forever. I didn't realise quite how fast these early years really do fly by, but they really really do!!

In Shop News

Well yes it's true, that I do like to do my own thing, with my quirky mark making and collages but this is also the name of my collection this week. It's another Build Your Own Collection weekend and my theme relates to us as strong individuals (or people that you know) and how we can be our own hero's and stand tall!

Bonus Bundle Offer with a Free With Purchase

All of the Build Your Own Collection releases are 20% OFF 7th - 9th September PLUS the more you buy the more you save. In addition, if you're a collector of my products I've also bundled up all three of my BYOC packs and discounted the bundle by 30%. You'll also get a pack of solid colour papers FREE with your purchase of the bundle that are not available separately. Please note that this bundle offer is not included in the buy more save more offer.

That's all from me for now, have a great weekend :)

I hope you've been having a good week!

I've been digging around in my archive of products and I was inspired by my Hope Shines Bright Kit from 2013. I've spent some time working on this and have a fabulous new and improved element and paper pack plus some extras making a bundle offer!

The original papers have been replaced with new digital art. Many of the original paintwork and textures from the original papers feature somewhere inside the new papers and have been adapted and morphed into brand new mixed media designs. Many of the papers are also never seen before designs featuring my signature mark making.

The new and improved element pack includes a total of 67 unique elements ideal for digital and hybrid scrapbooking, digital artistry, art journaling, paper crafts and more. Twenty nine of the sixty seven elements are from the original kit and in their original form. Some elements from the original kit have been removed completely, some have been edited in tone or colour to fit with the vision of the new kit and many new never seen before elements have been added.
 
Jam packed with my signature mark making and lots of other hand made items including paint, doodles, sketches plus ephemera and more!

A Pearfect fit at The LilyPad

in

It's been exactly twelve months since I hung up my designer hat and a lot has changed for me. Our family has been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Mackenzie Grace Jefferies who is already ten months old. Keaton has graduated from his pre-school nursery and will be starting school in reception class in September. 

I've dabbled in some digital scrapbooking during my break, I've taken some art classes and I've been busy creating in my sketchbooks again. It's been amazing to have been able to take a twelve month maternity leave and I've really enjoyed that precious time with my family but I'm ready to begin work again and to be creative on a more regular basis. I've really missed the connection with the digital scrapbooking community and I'm following my heart and returning to design!

With effect from today I'm a resident designer at The LilyPad! I'm thrilled to have been given this opportunity and I'm absolutely buzzing about it! I'm really excited about the direction that my design business is headed in and I'm so very grateful that you are here to share the journey with me, so thank you :)

New Releases & Offers

I've been working in my sketchbook making marks, sketching and drawing, stamping, painting, monoprinting, collaging, you name it!  All of my work is featured in new releases this week for our Build Your Own Collection. 

I've been filling my sketchbooks with pears, little miss Mackenzie is quite taken with them at the moment so Pears are on trend in our household! She inspired the collection first and foremost along with the sweet bond she has with her older brother. This collection is very versatile and is perfect for everyday scrapbooking but is particularly great for highlighting relationships.

I'll pop a note in here about the offers for those of you who just want to get straight to shopping! All of the Build Your Own Collection releases are 20% OFF 3rd - 5th August PLUS the more you buy the more you save.

Here is a page by me using my mixed media artistry and the collages featuring my little cuties who made this collection possible.

digital scrapbook layout by Rachel Jefferies

This collection is available to purchase now and consists of Pearfect: Mixed Media Artistry, Newsworthy: Mixed Media Collages, Pearfect: Pocket Art and Inked: Layered Template 01

As always some diverse inspiration from my Creative Team!
