Tropical Getaway! (and freebie QP)

Whew! It's been a little while but I've had both personal and technical problems holding me back from designing more.

Here's a really fun new mini kit I've made that's perfect for scrapping beach or vacation photos =) (I'm heading down south for a tropical vacation of my own in about a week!)



And because I haven't shared any freebies with you all in awhile, here's a free QP using this cute, new kit. Enjoy!

Road Trip elements

Here is my newest kit, "Road Trip," inspired by taking road trips my entire life with my mom and later with my husband. Ah, all those great times riding an open road with the music blasting and the windows rolled down!

This kit contains 42 elements, (300 dpi) can you believe it? I had so much fun making this kit that I may even post an add-on kit later on. I'll be posting the papers sometime in the next day or two. Enjoy!

Preview made by Abazita, thank you so much for your help!

Fresh Spring Morning elements

The month of March to me is ugly for the most part and boring lol. When I used to live up in New England, March is usually when it finally stopped snowing so all the grass was dead, soggy and brown, there are no buds or leaves on the trees yet and nothing much interesting used to happen in March back when I was in school. Even down south where I live now it's gray and windy outside and just...blah. So to cheer everyone up, I've made a new kit!

Here are the matching elements to my Fresh Spring Morning papers at 300 dpi. Contains: 2 rick-racks, 1 tag, 1 berry branch, 2 word bracelets, 1 bead scatter, 4 frames, 1 torn edge, 3 flowers, 1 jeweled butterfly, 1 bird, 1 bunny, 1 snail sticker, 1 love word art, 2 quote word arts, 1 birdhouse, 1 stained glass window, 1 ivy, 1 flower in a pot, & 2 ribbons. (I think that's it.) No drop shadows.

I'm pretty proud of this kit! I had fun with the colors and the ribbons are photos I took this morning. Also, I'm happy because I learned how to make rick-rack using this simple tutorial. I hope everyone enjoys using this kit, I know I enjoyed making it =D

Template #2

EDIT: Because 4shared is being a bit wonky right now, I've uploaded this file to Mediafire as well. Download it here.

Here is my second template. I hope everyone enjoys using it!

The template is .PSD layered and is 3000x3000 pixels at 300 dpi. If any of you don't have Photoshop or a program that uses .PSDs, let me know & I'll post .pngs of the page elements, if you really, really want me to, haha.

Painted Edge Overlays

Here are six painted edge overlays. Basically you just lay one of these on top of your layout to make the edges really stand out. I think it would look good on an altered art page or just something a little bit grungy, perhaps with photos of your kids doing messy artwork lol. Have fun with these! Three are glittered paint and the other three are made to look like thick, wet paint. Enjoy!

Template #1

Here is my first time making a page template. I thought for my first I'd keep it really simple.

The .PSD layered and is 3000x3000 pixels at 300 dpi. If any of you don't have Photoshop or a program that uses .psds, let me know & I'll post .pngs of the page elements, if you really, really want me to, haha.

Weathered Wood Caps, Numbers & Extras

Someone asked if I'd post the numbers & capitals, so I decided to make them and some punctuation for you all.

As for the style, I have Photoshop CS3 and I'm almost positive people with older versions can't use it. I will have to see if I can figure out a way for those of you who have older versions to use my styles before I can post them, otherwise I'll probably get a lot of comments saying "Help! It won't work" or something lol.

Drop shadows are for the preview only, and these are 300 dpi.

Weathered Wood alpha

So I've been in the mood for making alphas lately. I actually made 2 sets this morning but I'm debating posting the other one, maybe some other time.

Eventually I'll upload & post the styles for these in Photoshop, but I have CS3 and I don't know a way to make it so all Photoshop users can use them. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me. =)

Here are all 26 letters, lower-case only this time in weathered wood, kind of like a wooden garden bench that's been outside and rained on a lot, lol. I love collecting alphas for paper scrapbooking, especially wooden ones.

Drop shadows are for the preview only, and these are 300 dpi.



* * *D O W N L O A D* * *

I'd love to see what you've made, so please, please send me a link to your layout. And as always, comments are much appreciated ;)

P.S. If you want the uppercase & numbers for this alpha, let me know & I'll make it.

Cut Out Paper Alpha

I was playing around with the font "Ghost Town", which, I believe, is the font for a game on Facebook of the same name. Anyhow, I remember when I was a kid I used to cut out things from paper, sometimes even drawing letters and then cutting them out and pasting them on artwork. Then I thought, what if the letters looked like they were sort of messily cut out, like a kid would and a little bit crumpled? I remember my early artwork being quite messy lol.

Anyway, here are all 26 letters, capitals only. I might make lowercase and numbers, or I might not. I'm in the process of making a similar alpha set with stitched borders around the letters to kind of make them stand out more. I hope everyone likes these, I think they're kind of cute and certainly unique.

Drop shadows are only for the preview, and these are 300 dpi.

I'd love to see what you've made with them, so please send me a link to your layout and I'll post it =) And as always, comments are much appreciated ;)

12 Pieces Of Flair - Patterned

Here are the brightly colored pieces of flair that I promised. Enjoy!

You can recolor these, overlay patterns or photos, or even add your own text to these. I made them plain just for that reason. Just make sure to credit me.

Feel free to suggest sayings and things to put in my next batch & don't forget to shoot me a comment or two.

12 Pieces Of Flair - Muted Colors

Back in middle school, I used to collect all sorts of buttons, pins, and what they're now called, thanks to the movie Office Space, "pieces of flair." You know, the kind the servers wear on their uniforms at certain restaurants. They look cute added to scrapbook pages, especially for kid's pages.

You can recolor these, overlay patterns or photos, or even add your own text to these, as long as you credit me. I made them plain just for that reason.

Anyway, since it's late and I need to get to bed, I decided to post this small offering. Tomorrow I'm going to make bright colored flairs, then some with patterns, and finally some with sayings & quotes.

Feel free to suggest sayings and things to put in my next batch & don't forget to shoot me a comment or two.

Lavender Haze

Here is a very purple kit perfect for little & and a bit older girls...or any age really! I had lots of fun making this kit, trying to think up element ideas. Plus, purple is one of my favorite colors.

I got the name from some lyrics in a Jewel song called, "Do You?" The line goes, "to you it's all roses, it's a lavender haze..." Plus I also like the Jimi Hendrix song "Purple Haze" so the title's just kind of all mish-mashed in there.

It contains 25 lovely elements & 5 papers all in 300 dpi. Drop shadows are just for the preview.

Without further ado, here is my "Lavender Haze."



* * *D O W N L O A D* * *

Please let me know what you think of this kit and if you'd like more this style. I'd be happy to take any suggestions for that matter. Anyway, enjoy & have fun!
