Welcome to June and my 4th issue of my monthly newsletter! :) I'm so touched by how much you seem to be enjoying staying in touch with me. I started this newsletter in February this year with a little over 100 subscribers and this issue is already going out to over 1000 subscribers! Whaaaaaat??!?!? I'm just blown away! I don't even have words for what this means to me......thank you so much for your interest in my creative projects! You rock! |

A few days ago, on one of the rare days in May here in Vienna it was not raining, I was on my way to the botanical gardens next to the Belvedere Palace, which is also a museum. I saw this truck parked outside the museum. I just love it! What a great invitation to go see some art. This reminded me to go to some art exhibitions for inspiration. We have so many amazing museums here, so I should really take more advantage of that. Maybe you have some galleries in your area you could go visit? |

In my most recent ASMR video, I enjoyed collaging in my beautiful junk journal I bought from Nadja (artallerlei on Instagram). I recently found this fun book for collaging, locally but I also saw that it's available on amazon: Extraordinary Things To Cut Out And Collage. You can also go through magazines that you probably already have at home to find some fun images for collaging. |

| | The latest addition to my shop is a kit called Lovely Summer. I created these vibrant floral backgrounds using digital images from original vintage ephemera. I just love how yummy they look :). | | |
|
| | I also created a page of ephemera, as well as a page of journaling cards to go with the backgrounds. I really hope you will enjoy this vintage floral theme. | | |

This photo is an exclusive sneak peek of an upcoming international collaboration of 6 YouTube artist organized by Luise Heinzl (one of my very talented design team members) using her latest downloads, putting together one junk journal. This is a photo of one of my pages, and I can't wait to see what the other artists have created! Watch out for this collab in the 3rd week of June! |

I have been inspired by yet another one of my gifted design team members, Susanne (YouTube channel Bollenhut Art) to make wallpaper pockets! And yes, I have become slightly obsessed! :) I have always loved making these kind of pockets, but to make them out of wallpaper is a whole new level. Where do you get wallpaper from, you ask? I went to several interior decorating/wallpaper shops until I found one that had old sample books for me. It turns out a lot of these shops don't know what to do with them and actually throw them away! Yes! I know! Shocking! So, go to your local shops and save those beautiful wallpapers!!! |

| | I regularly share freebies in my shop and YouTube channel.
These are the freebies for your June planner pages with more beautiful vibrant, vintage florals this month.
Go check them out with the button below if you haven't :). | | |
|
| | You seemed to also really enjoy my new downloads I created with the planner pages already integrated in the month's backgrounds. Personally, I'm really enjoying these because they reduce bulk in your planner, as well as the glueing and inking time :). You can find them by clicking the button below. | | |

Maybe you missed the video in which I made a junk journal/folio out of a huge mixed media master board created from book pages inspired by Joie de fi's video. If you have not tried this, you really missed out!!! :) |
