Playing with paper + Freebie


Well, I've come to the conclusion I'm obsessed with blending paper. I spent hours today making one piece of paper. Between paper I had, paper I made, stamps, brushes, etc. I was able to finish one (1) piece I liked. After making the paper, I was on my last creative nerve. So, I will apologize for the LO with the paper, I was tired and threw something together. I thought I would share the paper and wordart with you...hopefully if you like it, I will feel better about the time spent. The wordart can be colored or moved around, left it as psd so you could play with it. Enjoy!

Wandering blog after blog after blah blah blah

Well, I've been wandering around lately, haven't been very creative. Made a couple of LO's, the first one for Paislee Press Challenge (sorta pleased) and the next one I have redone more times than I care to think about. Still not entirely sure about it, probably will redo again. If you could click on the links for the penscrappers contest and vote for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe I will create some papers, since I'm having trouble with LO's. Have a great week!

New Layout & My First Freebie

Well I made another LO with Vinnie's Wishes and Dreams, still enjoying the versatility of it. I tried my hand @ making something to give away today. I wanted it to be a QP, however I wanted you to have the option of where you wanted to put your photo and be able to resize it if necessary. So the frame is separate and can be reused. I hope you like it, I feel it's cute. Gotta love the white space. Please leave me a note letting me know if you like it and if you want me to make more freebies. Take care, I'm off to bed...goodnight.

Really enjoying Wishes and Dreams- Vinnie Pearce

I'm pleased. This was kinda easy to do, I just went through the entire collab and threw all I really liked into CS4. Then I went to arranging it. Was finding so much I liked, thought it would be too busy, however I feel I pulled it off. I had fun, I hate doing a page for 4 hours and then the next day deciding "you know I really don't like that". It happens, I find I spend alot of time "revamping" pages. When I was doing the book for my daughter, there were 51 pages and out of those I redid 20 LO's. What's really strange, I redid about 5 of those more than 3 x each. I find if I am truly happy with the way one turns out, I know it immediately.

New Blog Header

Well, it's 1:16 am here and I should be in bed, however, I wanted to finish my new blog design. I first want to give a great big huge enormous digital hug to Amanda Taylor of TaylorMade Designs. She allowed me to use her materials to create it. I love this photo of Bailey and it is enhanced by her materials. When I finished reading her email, I jumped up, ran to my "other half" and the first thing out of my mouth was....not only is she talented, she is so sweet. He of course thought I "jumped over the edge" so I explained from the beginning. Of course, him being a man, well a typical man, shared my enthusiasm with a "that's nice". I started with a No, that's wonderful!!! Then proceeded back to the computer to get started. I couldn't just stop @ my header, I had to do something nice for Amanda. With that being said, please click on the icon to the left and go BUY all her stuff. I mean it, you won't be sorry. If you are a little strapped for cash, go sign up for her newsletter and you can save on your first purchase. How cool is that? I'm still hyped up about this...I think I will scrap a page before bed. BTW just for the record, the preceding program for TaylorMade Designs was brought to you tonight without commercial interuptions by me. Have a great night....day! Thanks Amanda!
