Steampunk Style Anyone? - New Release "What's Old Is Gold"

If you have wondered what I have been up to lately, I have been challenging myself to a new design style--Steampunk in between Soccer practices and games and the Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts.  I was first introduced to this term about a year ago when one of the students that I tutor mentioned that she used this style to design her new home. This style has been becomming more and more popular lately so I thought I would try something outside my "normal comfort zone". 

With anything, I looked to the definition for a starting reference point.    Here are some basic facts about Steampunk....

Anything modern (latest modern technology, fashion or gadgets powered by or inspired by steam and the 1800s era (Industrialized Western Civilization during 19^th Century)  My interpretation is taking something old and bringing new life to it by making it modern. The Punk part of Steampunk (romantic Victoriana, goggles, and brass fixtures)

 As a designer, I like this definition …. “The “punk” in “Steampunk” comes from going against convention that, through creativity and declaration of one’s individuality be it through style, gadgets, or attitude, sets one apart.” (The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences)  (http://www.ministryofpeculiaroccurrences.com/what-is-steampunk/)

It did take quite a bit of time for me to begin and then I slowly becan to develop some items that fell into the Steampunk style.  As a few weeks rolled by, I began to get more comfortable and the ideas started to flow easier and I started to design the elements and papers using ideas and inspiration.  By the time I was finished. I was quite happy with the results if I do say so myself!

So, drum roll please, here is "What's Old is Gold"....

Inspired by “Steam Punk”, Vintage, and Grungy Styles, this kit will bring new life into preserving past, present, and future memories!    It is available for the special price of $2.75 during the Month of May so you can save 21% right now at my stores:

Freebie digital elements for digital scrapbooking- A Beautiful Tribute to Spring - Bonus Elements and paper too

As I look out the window today, I see snow falling if you can believe it!  In typcial Michigan fashion, the weather yesterday was in the 60s and perfect for no coats and today you need a winter coat and an umbrella to shield you from the wet snow!  Crazy right?  This is Michigan!

Today I just put into all my stores the last of a set of 3 coordinating freebies to the kit "A Beautiful Tribute to Spring".

As I see this preview, I just have to giggle because it really does not look like Spring here but maybe by posting this freebie preview, I can atleast see some flowers and bright colors!

Here are the links to the stores where you can pick up this freebie for FREE one week before I place it in my stores at regular price!

Mini Kit Freebie- Wilma 4 Ever April Blog Train Entry (Cute Spring: A Pocket Full of Paisley Add On)

Well, I just missed the deadline for Wilma 4Ever's April Blog Train (due April 15th), but I finally finished my mini kit freebie anyways so I thought I would just put it out there for all those who might want it anyways.  (Taxes were due on the 15th and we barely made that deadline :)

Here is the mini kit which I designed using the color pallete for Wilma4Ever's April "Cute Spring" Blog Train. 

Here is "Cute Spring:  A Pocket Full of Paisley Add On"

For the complete list of participants, please see the home page for Wilma4Ever

I loved the color scheme!  I could not believe that 2 of the colors chosen for the April pallete were similar to the colors I used in a recent release.  So I decided to make most of the elements of this freebie coordinate with an earlier product which I designed called "A Pocket Full of Paisley".  Here are the previews of these coodinating kits

These 2 kits are available for purchase at all my stores:
