New Kit, New Freebie and Sale extended

I am so tired!  I have been working hard on getting a new kit done.  It is part of this week's Project Color at Divine Digital:

Everybody who participates uses the same color scheme so that all of the kits will go together as a big mega-kit.  And this is my part, "Paws 4 Me"

Paws 4 Me is a different kind of pet kit. It is like a regular kit, just with paws on items. However, there are also co-ordinating papers and embellishments without paws so that you don't overload on paws. Paws 4 Me is for scrapping your pets with a more sophisticated look.

The kit is approximately 275 MB and contains:

18 papers (5 grungy solids and 13 patterned - 9 of those with paws)
12 flat ribbons and 3 curled ribbons with bows and 13 ricraks
17 frames (5 single frame, 3 doubles and 9 triples)
18 prong fastners and 9 binder clips and two staples sets
10 buttons and 8 bows
12 flowers and 10 flourishes
10 journaling tags
16 individual pawprints

That is a total of 140 elements.

All done in high resolution 300 ppi. Papers are 12" x 12" jpg format. Elements are in png format. Personal use, but scrapping for others for gifts and digital photo swaps is permitted. Please see TOU file.

But the best thing is that it is specially priced at only $2, but for a limited time!

And I have extended the iDSD sale prices:

So please go buy something!!

And yes, there is a small sampler freebie of some leftovers for you.  That was the first picture in this blog post.  So here are your links:

***  Update April 2012 - kit is now for sale at Berry Sweet Scraps and freebie has been enhanced.  Look for new post with new links ******

Big Sale for iDSD this weekend!!!

Actually it is more like 20% to 56% off.  I went crazy marking things down!

So go shopping here

Wild About Blue?

Then have I got a freebie for you!!

And if you are just plain wild, then you will be happy to know that "Project Pattern" is returning this week to Divine Digital and the theme is Animal Prints!

And in case you haven't figured it out, the freebie goes with my Project Pattern kit, which is titled "Wild Blues."  Aw come on now, you know I couldn't do just regular ordinary animal prints!!

Don't let the preview fool you - there is a whole lot more to this kit in the way of elements than I could fit on there to show you.

There are eight animal print papers and seven co-ordinating grungy solid papers for balance. A multitude of frames, frame wraps and co-ordinatiing bows are all in separate files so that you can mix-n-match (and do your own drop shadows the way you want them). Two versions of each frame are included: horizontal and verticle for correct shadowing.

This kit is approximately 280 MB and contains:

15 Papers (8 animal prints and 7 grungy solids)
34 Frames and 5 Frame Wraps
27 Bows
18 Flowers
13 Brads
7 Binder Clips
8 Ribbons and 8 RicRaks
6 Journaling Tags

High resolution 300 ppi.  Papers are 12" x 12" in jpg format.  Elements in png format.  Personal use, but scrapping for others for gifts or digi photo swaps is permitted (please see TOU file). 

And the best thing is that this huge kit is on sale for only $2 but only for one week!!  And I have also put all items (except $1 items) in my store on sale, too.

***** Update April 2012 - kit is now on sale at Berry Sweet Scraps and freebie has been redone - look for post with updated links  *****

And happy scrapping!!

Need Some Bling In Your Halloween?

Hmmm.... is there an echo in this blog?  Ok then, need more bling in your Halloween?

But first it is finally time for the

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I am now selling my products exclusively at Divine Digital!  There was a big delay because the site crashed back in May thanks to some hackers.  Getting the site back up even required a change in host server companies. (Long story!)  But the site is back up and the designers are loading up their stores and I am loading up my new store.  There are new kits and new freebies in my store, so please go take a look!  However, with the change in host server companies some software customization is in the process of being rewritten.  So right now there are two restrictions: (1) free ($0) orders are not automatically processed.  Royanna has to manually approve them.  She tries to do this twice a day, but life happens so please be patient.  and (2) there is only one download per product.  Since my kits are usually big, this means some huge zip files that are going to be problems for anyone on dial-up.  (I haven't loaded my two biggest kits in the store because of this.)  Royanna says there are alternatives, so I can ask her if need be.  These restrictions are temporary, but we don't know for sure for how long.

So now back to our regulary scheduled sales pitch, er freebie....  Remember this kit from last year?  (Of course it now has a new preview!)

It really seemed a little bit incomplete, so I made more!!  Here's Part 2:

So now with the ribbon freebies you can just bling your Halloween layouts to the extreme!!  Here are some detailed close-ups:

Ok, since you have been so patient through the sales pitch, here are the links:

Check out my entire store here.  I've put stuff on SALE!!

Purchase HallowBling! 1 here.

Purchase HallowBling! 2 here

Purchase BOTH HallowBling! 1 and HallowBling! 2 at a DISCOUNT Price here.

And for your Freebie HallowBling! Ribbons you can download them from 4 Shared here or you can dowload them from Divine Digtal's server here (no need to go to the store, just click and download starts).

Come back soon, because things are starting to happen (and yes, another freebie!)



Flowers For You

I have been very busy slaving away over a hot computer.  But, still not ready for the "Big Announcement" though.  I don't want y'all to think I have forgotten you.  So I went through my hard drive and put together a little freebie for you.  It is title "Misc Flowers" because it is all flower stuff that doesn't necessarily go together.  Sometimes I was just playing around making stuff with commercial use overlays and actions that I had just bought and wanted to see what they would do.  Other times I was working on a particular kit, and the result was good, but not what I wanted for that kit.  Maybe I have hording tendencies because I didn't want to just delete them.  So I bundled a bunch of them together for you as a freebie. 

There are eight 12" x 12" 300 ppi high resolution papers.  There are two branches with flowers (kinda looks like one in the preview, but it's two) and 11 flowers of various colors and types.  Hopefully something will be just perfect for a layout you are working on.  Personal use, but scrapping for others for gifts and/or digital photo swaps is permitted.  Please read the enclosed TOU file.

Download "Misc Flowers" on 4 shared here.  Sorry for those on dial-up, but I was lazy and it is a rather big 75MB file.

Keep watching for the "big announcement" and please don't forget about me!!!

Hopefully coming soon....

I am working on redoing all of my previews and zips.  I hope to be making a big announcement soon.  And yes, freebies will be coming, too!!

Get Funky with this freebie

They're loud.  They're proud.  They're funky and they're free!

I went through my hard drive and all the old papers on it and found these funky gems.  I thought maybe y'all could use them for a layout that needed an explosion of color.  The preview only gives hints of how loud and funky these papers are.  Some of you may be noticing the preview says "Funky Papers 2" and wondering why.... yes, Virgina, there was a previous freebie of funky papers.  I will relist it again for any who might of missed it.

So if you are brave and think your eyes and your computer monitor can handle all this color, here are your download links on 4shared:

Funky Papers 1 (the original)                                

Funky Papers 2 (the new)

My last freebie (a brick themed alpha and papers) did not get picked up by some of the freebie search engines, so if you missed it please scroll back 2 blog posts and get it.

Coming Soon.....

I've had a bit of a break and gotten some time to scrap. I have a new kit almost finished. I've also been taking lots of pictures of butterflies on the mimosa tree in my backyard. So here is a special preview - a layout of some of the butterfly pics done with some of the items from the new kit:

As usual I am having trouble deciding what to name this kit.  I was thinking of "Coraline" or "Coraturq" since it is shades of coral and turquoise.  I am very open to suggestions.  Here are previews of the papers:

I hope to be in a store and have this new kit for sale by the end of the summer.  And yes, there will be a small sampler freebie to go with it. 

Becky's Brick House Alpha and Papers

Becky is a wicked witch.  She says so herself.  (Seriously, her username over at A Cherry On Top is imwickedwitch.)  So when the wicked witch says she needs a red brick alpha and paper, I jump and make her one.  I don't want to be turned into a frog!  And since I have to load it up to 4shared to get it to her, y'all can download it, too.

There are 5 12" x 12" 300 ppi resolution jpg format papers.  3 have brick designs and 2 are just grungy.  The alpha is all upper and lower case, numbers and symbols that are on the keyboard.  However, it is a small alpha at only a little bit over an inch high.  Everything is in one file, so you will have to cut & paste the letters to get them out, but there is plenty of space between them.  (I was too busy jumping to get this done quicky and not become a frog to get them all in separate files.)  Dropshadows are just on the preview.

Download Here

I still hope to be in a store by the end of the summer.  My mother continues to decline, but she seems to be having happier delusions now.  Thank you for all your words of support.

**** UPDATE **** here is Becky's layout:

I think it turned out great!!!  Here is Becky's description and credits for the other items:

This is a layout of my DD's soccer awards banquet where she was awarded first team all region goalie and second team all state goalie. The best award in her eyes came from her teammates who gave her the coveted "BRICK WALL" award for best defender. I could NOT have created this layout without the help of ANN, of AnnOminous designs who specially created the alpha and brick wall paper for this layout and Lilkoala (leslie) for the inspiration for the title. Scrapbooking is truly a collaborative artform!!!

Still Pawsitively Free

I'm baaaacckkkk.... and with another freebie for all the dog and cat lovers!

I found some papers that were just sitting on my hard drive and put some pawprint overlays on them to make them pet friendly.  And then I made some elements out of the papers.  It's a rather eclectic mix, but hopefully there will be something you can use for layouts of your darling furbabies.

And if you are wondering why it says "3" that's because there is an older freebie with the first two parts.  In case you missed it, I am relisting it again.

And here are your links on 4shared:

Pawsitively Free Elements 2                  Pawsitively Free Papers 2

Pawsitively Free Elements 3                  Pawsitively Free Papers 3

On the personal side, I want to thank everyone for the words of support.  I have some good news and a lot of bad news.  The good news is that I hope to be selling in another store in a couple of months, by summer's end and hopefully sooner.  The first bad news is that I did not get into the Alternative Teacher Certification program.  It was my fault.  I got completely mixed up about the test dates and how long it took to get the results.  I am just so stressed because my mother's condition just keeps getting worse.  She is very physically weak, unable to do almost anything for herself, even roll over in the bed.  She is also very mentally gone, very delusional.  And they don't seem to be happy delusions the majority of the time, but stressful delusions where she is running around trying to get something done.  She will be moving her arms around very slowly, and also moving her legs like she is marching.  Maybe she is reliving her Navy days.  It is getting harder and harder to understand her.  At first the words just did not form a sentence that made sense.  Now some of the words are slurred and not clear.  Physically her lower jaw is shifting and her lower teeth are in front of her upper teeth, especially on the left side.  I don't understand why this is happening.  I'm just trying to hang in there!
