New Tag Template From Me!

I know, it's been quite a while since I posted a freebie for you all.  I actually made this in response to a challenge that a list member put forth on the group Snaggers Annonymous, which is a copyright compliant group I help moderate.  The challenge was to make a "smart aleck" tag template, so I did, and then made a tag with the template for the person that put up the challenge.  So, I figured while I was at it, I'd put the template here for anyone interested in snagging it up -- here is a preview of the template:

The template comes in 2 different formats: .pspimage and .psd

And here is the tag I made with the template:

And here is one that my friend, Astro made for me:

isn't it awesome??




Thanks for looking and please, if you snag the template, leave some love?

Good News

Well I have some wonderful news!  The store I am selling at - Scrappin' With Friends - will NOT be closing!!  I am so glad to hear this as I have made some good friends there and really hated to see the store close.  So anyone looking to purchase my scrapping items may still do so!!

My Selling Status

I am just writing to let you all know that I have put in my notice at Sunflower Scraps Boutique and as of April 28, 2011, I will no longer be selling my scraps there.  I wish all the designers and the store continued success.  Additionally, as it stands now, my other store - Scrappin' With Friends - is set to close down end of May.  So if any of you are interested in purchasing any of my items, you might wanna scoot on over to one of them and grab them while you can.  I am not sure if SWF will be doing a 'closing sale' - if they do, I will probably take part.  If/When that happens, I will keep you posted.

Currently I am not sure what I will be doing once I am no longer with these stores.  I have not had much luck in regards to selling scraps - mine just don't seem to 'interest' many people (and for those who HAVE purchased my items, I wish to say right now, THANK YOU!!  It is very very much appreciated!!).  If I thought that there were people interested in purchasing them, then I would continue to find another store and try selling however at this point, I am undecided, so if anyone would like to give some input, I'm all ears.

I will continue to offer freebies here and there, participate in blog trains as the opportunity arises and will see what else comes my way.  I am not quitting, just looking for some feedback to determine if continuing digital scrapping and designing is actually wanted by others, because honestly, if no one wants it or likes it or will use it, why bother?  It's just nice to know you are liked and appreciated, that's all.

Anyways, for those who have followed me, for those who have liked me, downloaded my stuff, and even purchased my scraps, I sincerely, genuinely thank you.  It is because of you that I have hung in this long.  I hope that you stick around, check back from time to time and continue to find stuff that you like and will use.

If anyone uses my scraps, templates (etc), please feel free to share them with me!  I would love to see it - and would love to show it off here on my blog!!

New Tag Template

Hello all!  Just a quick swing through as I drop by with a new tag template for you all.  This was made in response to a challenge on the MTA Taggers group to make either a tag template, word art or snag with a fantasy theme so here is the tag template I made:

Preview is smaller than actual template.

And here are the downloads, both in .pspimage and .psd format:

and here is a tag I made with the template:

Thanks tonz for looking and if you make something with it, I'd love to see!

Yeah! New Tag Template!

I was listening to the song "Yeah!" by Usher and felt really inspired to make this tag - just sort of popped in to my head so I opened up PSP real quick and got this done before I totally lost the idea!  I hope you like it and if you make something with it, please share?  I'd love to see it and will even post it on my blog for others to see as well!!!

Here is a preview of the template:

 

preview is actually smaller than actual tag template.

It is available in 2 different formats:  .pspimage and psd

Steampunk Ahead!

Hello and welcome! I hope you all had a great Halloween (and to my pagan friends out there, a Blessed Samhain!)! Mine was very nice, spent with loved ones and remembering our ancestors and getting ready for a new year ahead of us, filled with hope and promise.

I will make this quick because I know you are probably here for the Steampunk Blog Train! This seems to be a very popular style lately and I am hoping you are having fun blog-hopping and snagging up all the wonderful parts to this train.

Here is a preview to my part of the train (preview is for tagger size, however it is available in both Full Size and Tagger Size):



The tagger size kit is 72 ppi, papers are 700 pixels x 700 pixels in png format with matching jpgs and elements are sized proportionately. The full size kit is 300 ppi, papers are 12 inch x 12 inch in png format with matching jpgs and elements are sized proportionately. Please note that in both kits there are 4 items that are included with permission from Belle Graphics and those items are the poser girl, the steampunk clock and sun dial and "complete works".

New Site to Advertise Freebies

I know some people might be interested in this - new site to advertise your freebies:
Giveaway Scout


All you need to do is add their widget on your blog (I put mine along the right side, in the area where I list the sites I advertise at) and post a few lines about their service...... your freebies should show in the widget once it's approved. Sounds like a fair deal to me - and more exposure!! I listed myself under Arts & Crafts, since that's where you usually find things like Scrapbooking.
