It’s new year again! So what has happened since the last Ztampfever that was released back in December? Feels like ages ago, doesn’t it?
Well, there are some changes to the Ztampfever! Many of you might already have noticed the fresh, different format and look of this issue. Yup, this is the new format that I’m going to use from now on. The RoundUp section is basically a summary of all ztampfilicious things happened since the previous Ztampfever: mostly shortcuts to related blog posts for quick catch-up. The FreshlyBrewed section shows you all the new products added to Studio Ztampf! since the previous Ztampfever, listed from the newest ones. The Inspirations features ztampfilicious layouts, projects or things that I hope you will find inspiring! Pssst…It may or may not related to digital scrapbooking… Hidden Gems will help you find certain Ztampf products released in previous years: oldies but oh so goodies stuff! Finally, you will get your special Coupons, Gifts or Freebies in The Loot section!
And, you can jump to any sections from the ‘labels’ on the top left of the Ztampfever – see them up there? I hope you will enjoy these changes! Do let me know what you think of the new Ztampfever and if you have any suggestions to improve it! Thank you!

Many of you have asked me, where do I get my inspirations for my products. Well, the true answer would be: “Everywhere, Anywhere!”. That’s right, inspirations often come to me in a sudden. It could be something that I saw at a glance – which somehow sparked an idea for a new kit. This might be just a certain color combination, or a shape, or a certain feel/style. Inspirations could also come from intentional brainstorming – by talking about it with people or more often than not, with myself.
As often the case is, the resulting works might differ quite a bit from their inspirations. Which is fine with me. Inspirations should serve more as a starting point, not a set goal. Just let loose and create whatever the process takes you to! That goes for creating layouts too. I sometimes got so taken with certain layouts I wanted to scrap something similar. But because the materials are usually quite different, it often ended up totally different. But that’s not a problem! It has inspired me to scrap and I got the result!
Now, how about some inspirations for creating layouts? Below are some of my personal favorites from the Z!Girls which I hope you will find inspiring as well:
