Take a dip:

Oh boy, this summer certainly is very hot here! Is it hot where you are too? Well, cool off with the brand new Aquatica, a refreshing Studio Mix collaboration!

We hear all sorts of sound almost every moment of our waking life – sometimes even when we’re asleep. How does sound affect you? What kind of sounds speak to you the most? What kind of sounds you find unbearable? I found the sound of birds chirping and toddlers chattering to be most delightful – always makes me smile, while sound of people shouting in anger to be very unpleasant. I also enjoy listening to the hum of daily life, the sound of neighborhood – distant and yet close. It is familiar and comforting.

The word ‘Sound’ also has another meaning, which has a positive value as in ‘sound health’, ‘sleeping soundly’, ‘sound argument’, and so on. I wonder how this came to be! Do any of you know?

Now, how is it for you? What kind of sounds you find most pleasing? What kind of sound you find disturbing? What does the word ‘sound’ invoke in you?

All these thoughts came to mind when I picked the word ‘Sound’ from a list of words provided by Tangie as the theme for my contribution for her Art Journal Caravan Parcel #34. It is so inspiring, I had to create these ‘Sound PaperPack‘ to add to it :). Of course, these papers are also versatile to be used with any of Ztampf! kits.

Just take a closer look… The delicate details are truly wonderful even if it’s I who say so :).

See these amazing layouts that the talented Z!Girls have made with them

Finally the Ztampfever #51 is here for your perusal! There have been a lot of changes at Ztampf! recently, which I will reveal to you one by one… Let’s begin with the Ztampfever Newsletter: I’m experimenting with a new format, displayed on Ztampfilicious Blog. This is just a start – I will continue to improve it along the way.

One of the main reasons for this format change is because there are too many subscribers who didn’t receive their Ztampfever and this appears to be random. With the blog format, you can choose to subscribe via RSS. You can choose just Ztampfever under the Categories, or you can also choose other categories that interest you. Please let me know how do you like this new format by commenting on the blog under the Ztampfever #51 posting. Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your continuing support which enables Ztampf! to continue to grow. And now… the Ztampfever #51:

In case you’re wondering why I’m making it available here:

Looks like sometimes some subscribers didn’t receive the Ztampfever in their inbox although they have subscribed, have had my email address in their White List and Address Book and they even have been receiving many issues of Ztampfever before! As this seems to happen at random and caused by too many possible factors beyond my control, I decided to always post the direct link to the new Ztampfever on my Ztampfilicious Blog and on the Ztampf!Shop front so those who missed it could just get it anytime. Those who subscribed and been receiving it can keep enjoying it.
