I Joined a Store... and I have a New Kit!!

I have huge news -- I am now designing for a store called A Moment in Scrap!! It's a fairly new store and it's off to a great start. The team there is really friendly and the store is already starting to fill up with some great products! It's definitely worth checking out. And that, of course, gets me to the next part of this post -- I have a new page kit for sale in the store!! It's called WindSong and the preview is below. There are 15 papers and 30 elements. It would be great for heritage/vintage pages, but it's also versatile enough for other styles. If you like it, click on the preview to get to the store.



Till later,

Grandma's Parlor - A Free Mini-Kit

Happy New Year, everyone!! I have a new min-kit available. It was made for the color challenge at Digital Scrapbooking Studio (formerly StoneAccentsStudio).Yes, SAS has changed their name and is in the process of moving servers. Most things are working, but as of the time of this post there were still some issues with the gallery. In any case, this is the mini-kit I made for the color challenge. I went with a vintage theme and decided to call it Grandma's Parlor since some of the papers reminded me of wallpaper in a Victorian parlor. I tried to make elements in keeping with the theme. There are six papers and eight elements: 2 ribbons, 2 frames, 2 flower clusters, a scalloped mat and scatter of hearts. As usual, drop shadows are only on the preview.


Hope you like the kit. Note that the colors coordinate with the kit I made for the SAS color challenge in September, so the two should go together nicely!

Here are the download links:

Enjoy!!

UPDATE: I am so sorry but I found a problem with the frame elements after the files were uploaded. I have corrected it and re-uploaded the zips.

I know the Christmas season is coming to a close, but I decided to create a kit for the RAK Member Mega challenge this month. The theme was retro Christmas, so I came up with this Vintage Christmas Mini. It includes 6 papers and 10 elements: 2 frames, 2 Christmas balls, a fabric tree, a star, a snowflake, a cluster and 2 bows.

Blue Christmas - New Free Mini-kit

I know it's been a while, but here is my latest mini-kit. I am really happy with how this one turned out and hope you like it too! It was made for the December color challenge at SAS. It has 5 papers and 9 elements: a rectangular frame, a string frame, a snowflake scatter, a greens cluster, two Christmas balls, a ribbon, a tag, and a stylized Christmas tree with a star. You can see the preview below. I did not post a close up this time because it seems to confuse the freebie search engines.

Fall in Pastels - Free Mini Kit

I made a mini kit for the SAS Color Challenge this month. The kit has four papers and 9 elements: a multi-frame, a Thanksgiving frame, a plain frame, a wire mesh, a paper flower, a staple, a brad, a curled and folded ribbon and an etched tag. As usual, the papers and elements were created in PSP. I tried out a couple of new techniques and filters to make these, so I hope you like them. And here is the preview:

Autumn Days - A mini-kit Freebie

Well, I was hoping to get this posted sooner, but time got away. Anyway, here is the mini-kit I made for the Oct Member Mega Challenge at RAK. The theme this month was "Mum is the Word." I went with more of a generic autumn kit, but I did add in a few extra flowers for the theme. The kit has 5 papers and 10 elements. There are 2 cluster frames, a bird house, 2 spiky flowers, a flower spray, another flower, a pumpkin and 2 curled ribbons. All items were created in PSP12, using the standard software and some add-on filters. Here is the preview:

Think Pink - a breast cancer awareness freebie

One of the scrapbooking groups I belong to suggested making a breast cancer awareness kit. Since I have two very close friends who are breast cancer survivors, I really wanted to give this a try. Here is what I came up with. The kit has 9 papers and 20 elements. I included some extracted elements, but mostly the papers and elements were made in PSP with standard preset-shapes, brushes, tubes and fonts. I also used some add-on photoshop filters. If you like the kit, feel free to download with the links below.

Enjoy the kit. I would love to see any layouts you make with it. (FYI - the cancer ribbon is the "-" character of the webdings font.)
