"Thankful" Kit Freebie!

The other day I was looking for a free houndstooth pattern for a new fall kit that I wanted to make.
I actually found one at Pixel Scrapper. Then, I got to looking around at her other patterns and
was just blown away at all the goodies she was giving away for free (even for CU). I decided to make this fall kit using only Pixel Scrapper (Marisa Lerin's) designs in honor of all her freebies...OK, so
I wound up making some of my own designs as well, I just couldn't resist adding a pumpkin, a jar, and a few other things I couldn't find on her site for this particular theme. I did find all kinds of stuff,
and everything was changed, modified, and added to to make some pretty neat elements. Marisa Lerin, you are awesome!!!! Anyway, here is what I came up with. I call it "Thankful". I hope you like it, and don't forget to jump on over to Pixel Scrapper and grab some of her awesome stuff, oh, and she does take
donations if you can to help her keep her site going:)

Don't forget to leave me some love!:)

Metal Rimmed Tag-It Layer Styles Freebie!

I was so encouraged at all the comments on my string layer styles, that I decided to dust of all the
cobwebs on my other styles, and see if anyone else could use them. A while back, I was playing with
gradients, learning about them and tweaking different contours in the layer styles pallette to see what it would do and inadvertantly made something I thought was so cool, a metal rimmed tag. Granted, its certainly not the best, but they are cute, and make the cutest tags. I think with a little creativity, there are so many things you could do with these. I made a preview of a few very simple things you could do, but I know you all will come up with so much more! So enjoy them, create something
unique, and send me a link if you wanna, so I can see what awesome things you've done with them!:)
As always, don't forget to leave some love, its always encouraging, and have a very Blessed weekend!

CU4CU Silly String Layer Styles Freebie!

NOW CU4CU!  YOU MAY USE THESE TO MAKE YOUR OWN RESALE OR FREE DESIGNS
AND LICENSE THEM AS CU!!
Have you ever tried to scan and extract a string? Or, take a photo of a string, bring it into Photoshop
and extract it? It is so hard. At least for me, by the time I'm done extracting, I've taken so much off it
looks more like a thread. And forget buying some CU strings, I just can't afford it, and then you see the same string in other kits....you have to really be creative with it, make it unique.  I soooo wanted to just get my drawing pad, throw down some quick unique doodles, and at the  click of a button instantly turn it into a string. So, I was off to figure out how to make a descent string
style. I tried so many different textures and blending modes, and I finally found something I like. Granted, they are never gonna be real...but they look real! At least to me...So try these out and see what you think. I bet you could even make a bow out of them with a bow action, or just using a bow template...I took some freyed ends from a real string and played around with it, then added it to the ends of the strings and made some cute strings with freyed ends! There are a lot of possibilities.
So, play around with it, design something unique for your kits, or pages that you want to scrap:) Anyways, I hope you enjoy them and I hope you have a blessed week filled with creativity and happy scrapping!:)

Oh, and don't forget to leave some love!!

A while back I was trying to make a really good string layer style, so I could turn my doodles into strings with a click of a button. Well, I finished a set, and loved the outcome. I think they

of strings with them and decided to share them. If you like them a lot, give me a shout out and I will
put the string layer styles on here too....I hope you enjoy them and have a blessed weekend! Its my Birthday so I know I will enjoy this weekend celebrating with my friends and family, yay!

Alpha Scribbles 01 Freebie!

Here is another alpha I made using a tutorial by Megan Turnidge on how to make doodle lines. you can find the cool tutorial HERE.  I could simply draw them out on my bamboo pad, but that would take forever to make an alpha. So I used an existing alpha and just stroked it twice and then used the tutorial to make the stroked outlines look more doodle like, then used a doodle lines brush to fill it. It is in a layered PSD file so it has a lot of flexibility. It was a fun tutorial, and I enjoyed making the alpha.I hope you enjoy it and can create something neat with it in your designs and scrapping!
As always, don't forget to leave some love, I am encouraged by the responses!! May God bless you all today on the beautiful day, let us rejoice in this day that the Lord has made for us!!

Smoochable Series 01 Layered Journal Matte And Tags Freebie

I needed a new shape for a journal matte a week ago, and wanted something sort of original. I decided to play around and make some myself. I used Inkscape (its sort of like illustrator, only its a lot more basic and its free). You can find it and download it HERE. I made different shapes, moved them around and warped them a little here and there and came up with a lot of different mattes and tags. I had so much fun playing around, that I just couldn't stop, so I made A LOT of them and will be posting them on here for you all as I get time! This first set is called "Smoochable Series 01" because of the whimsical style they came out as....so cute!!!
Don't forget to share some love!!

They are 8 layered Journal Mattes and Tags in PSD format. I hope you enjoy them and can
use them in your creating:) May God be to you today what you need in Him, and have

"Cherished" Freebie:)

I am sharing my new kit "Cherished" again in this post since it seems to be hidden at the bottom of my other post and isn't showing up on the freebie sites for everyone to see. I enjoyed making this
kit, and if you read the last post, it explained where the inspiration came for this kit, and has an adorable quickpage I made for you using this kit:) Have a blessed day!!

Cherished Kit Freebie!!

The other day I was looking for a tutorial on how to cluster elements and make great layouts. I
actually found a GREAT one here by Jady Day Studio and was amazed by the end result.
Here is the layout that she took us step by step on how to create:


I LOVED it and wanted to make a similar one, using my own designs. So I got right to
work on a color scheme, which was similar to hers (I LOVE her work), and started
designing a new kit. I wanted the elements to be very similar, but my own. I wanted the
layout to look as close as this as I could get it.
 It didn't have a name until I got to the end, then I decided I would
call it "Cherished". Once the kit was made, I went back to her tutorial, and got to work
layering and clustering following her advice to make my layout. When I finished, I thought
it came out really cute, and very similar, yet different. I actually built my kit around this
one layout. I was so excited. I made a quickpage out of my layout, to share. and I also wanted
to share my new kit with you all:) I hope you make some cherished pages with my
new kit, and understand that you are also cherised in the eyes of Jesus who loves you:)

Here is the quickpage I made, isn't it similar to the one above? Not quite as much clustering, more
simple I think, but still cute! What do you think?

And here is the kit "Cherished" I made inspired by the layout from Jady Day Studio!



I hope you all like it, and may God Bless you all :)

CU Colorful Eyelets Freebie

In the last few days, I have been working on some metal and plastic layer styles, yes, I am a layer style fanatic!:) When they are finished, I will put them on here for free. While I was playing, I wanted to try some of them out on making some eyelets. You can never have too many eyelets, and I wanted them to
look as real as possible. So I made some with different shapes to test them and I think they came out pretty good. Some of them could use improvements...but, I think, for making them with  layer styles, most all of them look pretty realistic. I of course added a real eyelet I extracted, and changed colors on, it was the one I was using as a model for realism for the others.....anyway, I thought I'd share them with you and maybe you
can use them in your designs..All of the CU eyelets are in .png format..I was thinking about making some paper eyelets later this week, I'm not sure what they are called, but I think you know what I am talking about...Well, God bless and I hope you enjoy these and have a wonderful week:)

CU Crazy Acrylics 01 Layer Styles Freebie!!

Are you crazy about acrylics? I see them everywhere in the digi-scrapping world, I always think, I would love to have some clear acrylic styles. So I go searching for free ones...I am very frugal, and
hate spending if I don't have to. So, I couldn't really find any, so I decided to try my hand at making
some. I just can't spend money on something if I have the resources to make them myself. So I went
googling for tutorials on how to make clear acrylic styles....I could not find one tutorial. I did find a
lot of tutorials for glass though. So, I tried them out, it was cool, but still not that clear acrylic look
you see in the digi-scrapping world. So I started from gound zero, and just played with the style
blend modes and lighting for two days here and there and learned a lot about anti-aliasing with unique
contours and many other things. All in all, it was fun, and everytime I came up with something I liked, I played some more and found a way to make it even better. Well, I finished with something I like, and
I want to share them with you. May God bless you all today and  I hope you like these and can use them in your designs.



WANT A FREE ACRYLIC DROP SHADOW STYLE AND ACTION?
I was looking at how to make a drop shadow to apply to the preview, and not only found one
already made, but it was also  FREE by Lydia Tarbox at Sweet Shoppe Designs here! Scroll down
her page and you'll see where she talks about Acrylic Drop Shadows. She
refers us to a great tutorial on applying drop shadows to acrylics by Jessica Sprague here, and
then even offers her time saving drop shadow style and action for free. (You'll have to scroll to
the bottom of the page to get it). How awesome is that? I'm assuming its for PU only, as I
couldn't find any terms, so I would ask if you are wanting to use her shadows for anything other
than personal use.  I hope you enjoy the acrylics, and have a blessed day!!

Be Mine Alpha Freebie

This morning, we had some terrible weather...I woke up to it around 3:30 when I was checking on
my youngest son, Joshua. He is 11 months and is teething again. He now has 8 teeth, and is not
happy about 3 of them coming in at the same time....poor thing. And on top of that, my 6 year old
son awoke last night to what sounded like the whooping cough. I am praying that he will have
a quick recovery from whatever he has, and that the little one's teeth will hurry and break through
 and the  pain will subside. In the meantime, I was able to make a small Be Mine Alpha to go with
the Be Mine Mini Kit series while Joshua is napping, and Ethan is watching his favorite cartoon,
Kippur. I hope you enjoy it and pray that you will all have a positive blessed day today!

be working on a Birthday kit for my son, Joshua, who is having his 1st birthday Feb. 17....I wanna
have it ready before then, so I will be feverishly working on it (which is basically only during his
nap time) and hope to have it on here as soon as I can! So check back, I'll also be trying to put
little freebies of this and that on here as I go.....Again, I hope you enjoy this kit, and don't forget to
leave some love, I love reading them!!:)

Be Mine Mini Kit 2 Freebie

Well, I finished polishing up the second part of three mini kits....I hope you all like it. I actually
extracted the string in this kit, I think I did a pretty good job.It is so hard for me to extract, that in
the last kit (Be Mine Mini Kit 1) I actually decided to try my hand at making my own string from
a simple doodle. I couldn't find tutorials on making strings in photoshop elements ANYWHERE!
I did find a simple one on a graphics website, but it was for rope and wasn't exactly what I
 was looking for, however, the tutorial did introduce me to the "halftone" pattern, which I played
with along with other blending options for "literally" 3 days, until I wound up with something
that KINDA resembled a string. More like a playdough string, but it still looked good enough
for me. Its something I would use myself, so, I thought I'd include it. It is in the 1st kit, its the
reddish pink string...Please, tell me what you think of it, and what else I could possibly do
to make better strings if you know!! Well, I hope you enjoy this kit, I certainly do enjoy making
them:) Have a blessed day all, and remember to leave some love!!

Finally....Be Mine Mini Kit 1 Freebie

Well, I finished my Valentines Kit, and just in time for the month of Febuary. It turned out to be
really big, ok, so not as big as the kits you see in the digi scrap stores (how do they do that anyway,
it would take me FOREVER).  I'm not that good at jumbling all the elements together in a preview,
 when I try, mine just looks like someone threw up elements all over some papers....not very uniform
 and neat at all....so  I decided to break it up into 3 smaller kits. The smaller, the better, you can actually
tell what some of the elements look like, and its easier for me...maybe I'll get better in that area some
day...Anyway, I am posting the first one "Be Mine Mini Kit 1" today, and maybe will get to the other
two in the next couple of days....As always, leave some love, and let me know what you think of
my work, you know, like what I could improve on! Have a Blessed day!!

CU Doodled Photo Corner Freebie!

Ok, so I am trying out new things and yesterday I decided to try my hand at a little doodling.
I wound up with some really cute photo corners and decided I would make them in several
different colors. Some of them are in some great Valentines colors, others just colors I like
to use. I am at the moment still working on my Valentines Kit, "Be Mine" and will polish it
up a bit and get in on here for free as soon as I can...until then , I hope you enjoy these CU
photo corners and have a Blessed day!
