ValC Designs’ ArtBook shelve

Hello there,

have you seen that ValC Designs has an ArtBook shelve at Oscraps? Actually, this shelve is full of Art Books. What does it mean? Amazing, artsy kits to make art journaling pages.

I think art journaling is a very popular trend now in scrapbooking. I often wondered why it is (not that i have so much free time, lol). First reason may be that these pages are extremely arsty and spectacular. Just take a look at these pages:

LO by Snowdropz, credits: My Star by ValC Designs

LO by Veer, credits: Art inspired by ValC Designs

Second, they can “compress” anything in a word, quote or word art. And this says it all.

LO by Snowdropz, credits: Happiness, Happiness Addon, Dream by ValC Designs and Emotions by Val C. Designs & Erica Zwart

LO by Snowdropz, credits: Painting Rainbows by ValC Designs and Pink Reptile Designs

LO by Snowdropz, credits: Out Of Comfort Zone by ValC Designs

LO by Dumpty, credits: All directions and Happiness by ValC Designs

And third: you can write about important a/o serious serious things without giving yourself to it. Artdolls or some symbols might be enough :)

LO by Asa, credits: Self Confidence by beedeesign and ValC Designs

Lo by Terese, credits: Fly with me collab by Valc designs and Cilenia Curtis

 

LO by nessita, credits: My Way, So Sweet by ValC Designs and Self Confidence by beedeesign and ValC Designs

Back to ValC Designs’ Art Books. Beside AJs, they are great to make (greeting cards) too. It is always awsome sending own-made, personalized cards for any occasions :)

You can find more AJ LOs in the ValC Designs’ gallery and please show us your art too!

If you feel like trying Art Book packs , this is good to know:

Pick within ValC designs ART book shelves the packs you like, and make your own bundle (element from one line and Papers from an other… or even collect all Alphas, which are so perfect for a hand made looking Layout…).

Pssst! Just telling you: there will be amazing new goodies on the Art book shelve soon ;)

News about my store and new release!

Hello here,
What a busy time! is that because spring is around the corner (they say) or is it just because we creative soul are just waking up after winter (in my case, it might well be LOL)
I wanna tell you a few thing on this post
on a few recent kit, I did not offer the separated pack of papers and element /WA or what ever independently, but under pressure (which I love!!!) I do bring them to you, and even bring them to you with an awesome new deal!
In My ArtBooks Shelves, I will store all the individual pack from my ARTSY bundle, Like paper pack, alpha, elements or what ever I can come up with … you may know by now that I have no limit to my imagination/creativity… :)
So in those shelves (new category in my store, to be clear) you will be able to pick paper pack from one collection, wordARt from an other, and alpha from a third, or even all the paper pack, if you are, like me a paper lover.

the idea is simple, the more you pick, the better is the discount you get (only from my ARTbook shelves and that doesn’t apply to bundle, since it already have a bundle deal, right?)
And please keep in mind that the full kit bundle deal I always offer you, on a new release, will stay the best deal you can get,  BUT I so wanted to make something special  for all of you whom want to make their own collection

I hope you will enjoy it, and collect all part you like to complete your Stash with original and creative goodies.

and Now, the new release!!!
I definitively couldn’t open My  ARTbook Shelves without adding a brand new collection. And this new release is perfect for that.
This kit has been growing in my creative brain from sometime now, and I hope you will has much fun playing with it, than I got designing it.

This kit is to celebrate the star, I mean the real star of your life, which can be star for a day, or brightening your whole life.



All those pack are part of ARtbook shelves along with other pack to mix and match with in order to create your collection.

But like I said, the best deal is still the complete My star Collection Bundle

Especially now that it is 25% off as new release (and Oscraps birthday deal, as I will not discount it more in the coming weeks)

My Star Collection Bundle

Images are linked

here are a few sample layouts for you to be inspired (if you are not already!!)

But I know, that more are coming in the Oscraps gallery

stay tuned for more news, coming, like … tomorrow or sign up for my newsletter ( in the upper menu) so you will just get the news in your mail box… he he he

That where we started… with an original and bright color selection.
