New Tag Template, New Kit and Some News

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm selling at a new store.  The old store, Scrappin' With Friends, sadly shut down a couple of months ago.  I wish the co-owners, Sizzel and Crystal, nothing but the best, and hope that the future holds nothing but good things for them and their families.  I am now selling my items at P4DSDesigns.  I am in the process of repackaging my items so they are getting up there slowly but surely, and I even have a new kit available called Love N Hearts:

The kit comes in both full size and tagger size and is just right for all those Valentine's Day tags and other creations!  So bounce on over the P4DS right now and check it out.

Also, I have a new tag template for you all, available in both .psp and .psd format:

And here are the uploading links:

If you make anything with it, I'd love to see it!!

Thanks so much for looking and be sure to check back often for updates and other freebies!

Just Have to Share!

InkkFreak has recently joined the CT at the store Scrappin' With Friends, and she chose my kit, Refreshing, to work with and here is what she came up with:

You can see her post about it here:

Didn't she do an outstanding job?  I absolutely LOVE the results!!  Thank you again, Inkk, for such stunning tags, and for working with my kit!!

New Kits in Store, Tags and Freebie!

Hey Everyone!!

Just writing to share my 2 newest kits, which are now for sale at Scrappin' With Friends.  The first kit is called "Awakening" and is in beautiful shades of purple.  It comes in both full and tagger size:

Mary, one of the CT members for the store, wrote a tutorial using the Awakening kit:

You can find the tutorial HERE.   Thank you so much for such a wonderful tutorial AND tag, Mary!  I love it!!

The second kit is called "With A Little Luck" and I tried so hard to get it out before St. Patrick's Day however life kicked in and it just wasn't meant to be however you can get it and be ahead of the game for next year!  Again, it comes in both tagger and full size:

You can find these - and all my scraps - at the store HERE.


And finally, for all the taggers out there, I have a tag template for you, just in time for spring!!  I made this in response to a challenge in a group and thought I would share it all with you.  The template looks like this:





and is available in both .pspimage and .psd formats.  Here are a couple of tags made with the template:

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 Tut Using Astro's Blues

Just wanted to share a new tutorial with you. The tutorial is called Dark Angel and it uses the freebie kit Astro's Blues. The tutorial was written by Astro, actually, and she did a wonderful job using the artwork of Barbara Jensen.

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.


Check it out !!

Happy Summer Solstice!!

Hello everyone and welcome summer! For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the start of the season when the weather gets hot and humid and thoughts turn to the beach, cooling off in the water and wearing lightweight clothes. For my fellow pagans the solstice celebrates another turn of the wheel as we celebrate the solstice (aka Midsummer, or Litha). I wish for you all bright, warm, summery days filled with wondrous memories!


I am sure you are all here for my part of the Summer Solstice blog train, and I will not delay you any further. Here is my preview to my part:




My part is available in both full size and tagger size. All items are in png format.

Tagger size is at 72 ppi, with papers at 700 pixels x 700 pixels, and elements are proportionate in size.

That's My Dad Blog Train

My apologies in the lateness in getting this on to the blog. We have had very bad t-storms coming through the area since early Monday morning and have been dealing with some messes from it (we are in a flash flood warning until Tuesday AM). I was in the middle of getting this post written up when I had to suddenly shut down everything because the storms were getting so bad, so again, my apologies - it couldn't be helped.



Anyways, I know you are probably here for my part of the "That's My Dad" blog train, so without further ado, here is a preview to my part of the train:







It is available in both Full Size and Tagger Size. The Full Size is 300 ppi, with the papers measuring 12 inch x 12 inch (3600 pixels x 3600 pixels) and the elements are proportionately sized (no larger than 3000 pixels on the largest side). All items are in png format, and the papers come with matching jpgs. The Tagger Size is 72 ppi, with the papers measuring 700 pixels x 700 pixels, and the elements are proportionately sized (no larger than 700 pixels on the largest side). All items are in png format, and the papers come with matching jpgs.

As some of you might know, I recently signed with another store (still with Kreative Kreations as well) - the new place is called Scrappin With Friends and there are lot of fun designers there and awesome CT!! One of the CT members, Mary, made me this beautiful tag while writing her tutorial, Fairy Blues, using my Baby Got Blues Kit:

Toot Toot! Here comes the birthday train!

 

 

 

OK everyone!  I am back up and running and have participated in a blog train!  It feels great to get the creative juices flowing again, and I hope you all like my part of it.  We had some wonderful colors to work with (of course, my fave color – purple! – which I love paired with the green they have chosen).  So, without further ado, here is what it looks like:

 

The kit comes in both full size and tagger size.  The full size papers are 12 inches x 12 inches, 300 ppi and in both png and jpg format.  The elements are proportionate in size and are also 300 ppi, in png format only.  The tagger size papers are 800 pixels x 800 pixels, 72 ppi in both png and jpg format.  The elements are proportionate in size (not exceeding 800 pixels on its largest size), and in png format only.  Each zip contains both folders (papers and elements) plus the color palette that was used. 

 

 

Here are the download links for those who want it:
