Let me take you to my "Cold Country" - new 7 Dots Studio Collection

Hi again friends!
I can finally share one of the super important projects I was working on secretly... it's time for the new release at 7 Dots Studio and there are 3 new collections coming - and I can't even express how much I love them. Yesterday you could see beautiful, delicate "Illumination" by Anai and tomorrow you will see breathtaking "Nature Walk" by our new designer - talented DeeDee Catron!
Today is my day - and my new "baby". Please, let me introduce you to:

Some of you might already notice that my paper collections are my way of sharing "stories". "Cold Country" is not different. It's emotional, nostalgic, reflecting a bit darker side of our life - but there's place for warm feelings, hope and reunion. You can find there cold mornings and lonely evenings, short notes we leave on the back of the photos, long letters written to those we love. It is about remembering the good times and longing, missing the ones you love or loved and places close to our heart. There is a place for sharing your secrets, thinking about the past and expressing the deepest feelings... you can say it is hopelessly romantic - it is - in a very "Slavic" way  - so the way as I understand and cherish "vintage romantic" atmosphere.
Collection is a mixture of cold patina colors and vintage browns, books, diaries, old photos and treasures of the past... for me personally it is something more: it was inspired by stories told me by my grandma when I was a kid - her life, her family... old photos I found only triggered my creativity. I couldn't take off my eyes of then and I knew one they they will be used for something special.
I guess it is the right time. Please let me take you to my "Cold Country".

There are 6 double-sided papers of mixed-media quality

1 set of Stamps

12×12 Die-cut Elements

Finally - the Collection Kit:

I'd like to thank from the bottom of my heart to those of people who made this project real. Without help and support of my friends and husband, I wouldn't finish this project. The biggest thank you goes to my friend (and editor) Tusia, who believed in me again, giving me all the good energy and support I needed, standing by my side when I needed motivation and support. She is the best friend you ca have, really. Huge thanks to Anai who as always - helped with graphic issues, Dee Dee for her last minute help and to Eliza and my husband who were the first to "review" the full collection. Thank you all. 

And I have great news for you!

You can win the collection going to 7 Dots Studio Blog HERE and leaving the comment telling what do you think about "Cold Country". What can be easier? 

Thank you so much for visiting!
Sending hugs

OMG, what have I done... Prima Line?

I have no idea where to start... Wishes, dreams, secret plans and weeks of patience... and it is here! I wish I could express how madly happy I am - and to be honest I can't still believe it is true! I'm the most lucky girl in the world - and I love, love Prima for all they have done for me :) THANK YOU!!!

So, today I'm finally proudly announcing my first ever big collection for Prima Marketing (!):
 "Sunrise, Sunset" and embellishment line called "Mechanicals"
(thanks Cari for this wonderful name :*).
I'm flying over the roof, finally sharing things that I had to keep secret for so long!!!

Let's start with "Sunrise, Sunset": paper collection - of course "Finn style", stamps, alphabets, metallic and zipper flowers, and a lot of other goodness!

Maybe some peeks? Why not? :)

Here is the example of using this stuff on the page... quite delicate one, right?

And there is more... my beloved little baby - "The Journal"(with 12 brown, 12 white thick pages and some plastic sleeves too!)

(ahhhhh... hyperventilating here, really!!!)

here is the Journal dressed in "Mechanicals"... I love it, really love it!

And now - super exciting thing "Mechanicals" - embellishments for many purposes:
- trinkets, washers, metal flowers and numbers, brads, all, all of them in beautiful metallic colors we all love :)

You can use them on your layouts, collage, altered objects... or create your own custom jewelry!

The best thing about them is - they match!
You can put one inside another, another one on the top, use the brads to clip them together or your favorite glues and pastes... Hm... I should probably add that most of them are flexible enough to bend and thin enough to cut with good scissors ;) I checked of course!

 Check these brads - all good sized, long legged ;) and - in cute shapes of nails, screws and bolts!

 I'm in heaven and I don't go anywhere from here!!!

On this point, I look more-less like on the layout below! Crazy and happy :)

I'm so very hoping you will like them as much as I do! Please, share your opinions below!

More projects - coming very soon...:)

But there is more - a Prima Giveaway!!!
On Prima blog  here you can find all the details: what you need to do to win a prize from my new collection:) Yay!
Good Luck!!!
