Vinnie Pearce Downloads | Celebrating 5 Years!!!

September 27, 2013

I was very excited to be able to join Vinnie Pearce over this last month as a Guest Designer--working with her beautiful new collections and participating in some fun challenges that she has put together to celebrate her 5th year as a designer.

Not only is her entire shop 40% off now through Sunday, September 29th, but she's also put together a STUNNING Idea Book featuring her new collections that you can download for free! Just click on the image below to have a look!

What's New!?

Here's a look at Vinnie's NEW collections and the pages I've created with them. Each of them is so different from one another, yet they were all so inspiring and I had a blast working with them!

Using Vinnie's Upgraded Collection I was inspired to pay homage to an object that I use every single day but often take for granted--my cell phone. I just LOVED this hand-drawn cell phone paper that I used for my background and I added the random blocks of blue for impact and to highlight all of the different ways I use my phone. The best thing about this collection is that although it has a technology theme, it also has tons of versatile papers and elements that can be used on every day layouts as well!

The Chinee Collection is filled with soft colors, whimsical patterns and the sweetest, most charming elements--perfect for scrapbooking your little girl, right?! It also happened to be perfect for showcasing this adorable photo of my youngest son on his first day home from the hospital. Somehow the photo had gotten placed in a random folder on my computer and I just recently stumbled upon it, so I couldn't help but be inspired to scrapbook it using this soft and sweet collection.

The Dakota Dream Collab with Dido and Lynn Marie Designs might have just been my favorite though. Its soft, yet fresh color scheme, it's subtle artsy vibe, oh and the feathers...I simply couldn't resist it's earthy elegance! Here I've used it to scrapbook this beautiful black and white photo of my niece.

Up for a challenge?

There are also three fun challenges included in the Vinnie Pearce Downloads Lookbook that you can play along with! I had a ton of fun taking Challenge No. 1 - The Modular Grid. Using the FREE template provided by Vinnie and inspired by the other guest designer's pages, I came up with the following page using a few of Vinnie's older collections, Curio and Make It Meaningful. I can totally see myself using this design approach time and time again now that I've tried it out and see how it can work with so many different styles.

Big thanks to Vinnie for allowing me the opportunity to work with her beautiful new collections, it was an absolute pleasure! And don't forget to head on over to Vinnie Pearce Downloads where you can download your free idea book, play along with the challenges and take advantage of the 40% off sale!
