Stick Pin Freebies!

I was going to sell these in my "shop", but I found a free online shop, & have had no visitors as far as I know, so I've decided to give them away as freebies. There are 5 or 6 in total...I'll start with 2 today & post 2 more tomorrow. I'm going to try & do a freebie at least every other day from now on. PLEASE leave me a comment if you download them... Jewels needs some lovins! I'm starting out with my 2 favs... ;)

Hangable Hearts with Ribbons!

I just made these tonight for you guys... I think they're really cute. I tried to get all the colors so they would be versatile. Again, I am including a preview as the packaging looks so crummy. They all have the same design on them....it's a wall paper I made for my Warmth kit. I think it's really pretty. I really hope you guys do too. :D Oh yeah, & feel free to share my freebies as long as you include the previews. I'd love to get a ton of downloads... the more people that know about them, the better. That's what giving is all about right? Gives me warm fuzzies. :D Thanks. *hugs* Jewels

You can download this freebie HERE. Please leave me a comment on my blog if you download, it just takes a second, & they mean so much! ♥


New Freebie! Hangable Hearts & Lips

Made these while I was playing around with a tutorial the other day & forgot about them... so I figured I'd see if anyone had a use for them. You can hang them from anything, or, as you'll see in my next post, attach a ribbon to them. They vary in size, but most are 500x500. Sorry they're so random... like I said I was just playing around. The packaging makes them look terrible, so I am uploading a preview so you know what you're downloading. ;) These are all different though. The next set is all the same. Total Randomness...gotta love it. PLEASE NOTE: These are all transparent .png's I don't know why they are showing up white in the preview.

Zipped up Mini Kit Papers & Elements...

That file was huge & nobody has downloaded it yet, so I thought maybe I should split it up & let you re-assemble it yourself. LOL The file sizes are a lot smaller! The papers are just under 7 MB, & the elements are a little over 3 MB. BIG difference. Papers are 12x12 300 dpi, & the elements range in size, but are also 300 dpi, & are in png format.

I think I am going to make a bigger diamond bow. I was told that it doesn't really fit with the kit because the quality is not the same, but that's just because I resized it. It should take some time, but I'll get around to it & post it here for you guys.

My main kit is ready now, I just have to make previews & put it up in the shop. If anyone is interested in it, please email me & I will get my butt to work. There are 20 papers, & 104 elements! (I TOLD you it was a mega kit)! I am also going to split it up & offer it as 2 & 4 seperate kits.

Freebie QP Made by Cindy Ritter... :D



Here's a QP made by the sweet Cindy Ritter. You can visit her blog here: Crazy Dreamer Art & Design Simply add a new layer & slide your images underneath the QP. :D Isn't it gorgeous? I think so.... ;)

You can download the psd file here, or the png file here.

Freebie Mini Kit!

I've finally gotten around to my freebie mini kit! What I did was create a Quick Page with all the layers named & intact. That way you can copy them or move them or do whatever you want with them. They are uploading to 4shared right now, I will edit this post with the link as soon as it's finished uploading. Here's a preview! I really hope you like it & leave me some love... ♥


You can download it HERE. :D Ok, I didn't realize the file was going to be so huge, so I zipped everything up real nice -like for ya. Papers are here, & elements are here. Sorry about that!

Working out the kinks...

I am working out the kinks in my new scrap kit, with the help of some very sweet ladies that are critiquing it for me & offering loads of advice. Thanks!!! :) I have to fix all my torn papers & I'm wondering if it would just be easier to start over, or to go back & fix what I have. I think I'm going to try & start over.

Don't forget to leave me a Valentine! Only 7 more days & I get to read them!


Once I get the papers fixed, & all the files converted to.png & resize some elements, the mini kit will be available. Thanks for your patience! I've got so much to do with 3 kids & all... I don't always have the time to do the things I need to. Plus my computer is on the fritz & keeps randomly shutting off on me. Especially if one of the kids or I try to play a game. I think I'm going to have to take it in to Geek Squad & have it looked at. We'll see what my hubby thinks... we have a lot of stuff we have to pay off & are pretty tight right now. Go figure. Well, I just wanted to post an update.

I should also have another Layout for download soon from another of my challenge takers. :) She's waiting for me to fix my red torn paper...so I'm going to do that now. (Before I get side tracked again).

2 new freebie quick picks for you!

These were made through my challenge to download the kit & make a quick page out of it. Dana Kruse made 2, plus a Layout of her adorable nieces! Both QP are available for download. Didn't she do a great job? I love them! And her nieces.... sooooo adorable! The kit is massive right now...tons of elements to work with! If you want to download the mega kit for free & take part in my challenge just email me. :)

Dana's nieces! Just wanna snuggle them up!

Freebie Quick Page #1

Here's a freebie quickpage that I just made...I hope you guys like it! Please leave me a comment & show me some love ON MY BLOG if you download it... that's all I ask... Since all the comments on 4shared will eventually get deleted. Also, feel free to send me anything that you make with it & I'll post it here! :) Thanks! (It's 12x12 300 dpi) btw.

You can grab it here!

I made one with a picture of my daughter in it... I think it's pretty cute.

Mini Kit coming soon to a monitor near you!

I've decided that I'm going to offer a mini-kit as a freebie also since this kit is so huge. I've been getting critiques from a real sweet heart & she has really been helping me a lot. This way the kit will be the best it can be! I have to go through everything & decide what to use for the mini kit...

What do you think? I have 4 colors in the kit. Should the mini kit include all 4 colors, or just 1, or 2? The kit is enormous...should I split it up into 2 or 4 kits instead? PLUS offer the whole thing as a mega kit? That sounds like a good idea to me. :) Anyhow...I better get to work. Hope my brain decides to cooperate today.

Challenge!

I have a new kit I've been working on. Right now it has 91 elements & 15 or 16 papers. I think I might end up separating it into more than 1 kit... BUT I'm offering the whole kit & caboodle for download now if you just make me a LO that I can add to my site as a freebie. I want to have a bunch of different LO freebies for this kit... so email me if you are interested & I will send you the details. Here's my icky LO version of the kit... I can't wait to see what everybody else comes up with.

12x12? What's your opinion?

I joined a Yahoo group to learn how to make scrap kits... & they are suggesting the papers be 12x12. Is this common? Is this the size that everyone uses? My friend has been making them smaller for digital scrapping... I understand that it's a lot easier to downsize an image than to try & make it bigger, but I would think 8 1/2x11 would be a good size for printing? What's your take on this? I also keep forgetting what to save my elements as... png or psd? I *think* it's psd... I hope that's what I've been saving them as.

LO .... maybe I shouldn't?

I made a LO for my first scrap kit, & it had lots more papers & ribbons & extras that weren't included in the LO. I think next time I should try it without a picture & just have the papers & kit elemements? I think I'm going to redo my preview for my kit, & keep the LO there because I like looking at my daughter. LOL

Freebie

Here's a freebie for you guys... I hope you like them & can use them! You can get them here. (4shared)
Here's my last set of stick pins that are in my shop... only $2! Blogger would only let me upload 5 images. LOL The link to my shop is located on the right hand side of my blog. Or you can get there by going here.
