Happy Holiday crafting everyone. I'll be back with a couple of new freebies throughout the weekend. 

Please let me know of any broken links!

Thinking inside the box

A Christmas in July sale wouldn't feel right without a few free gifts. I've been collecting lots of boxes lately...cereal boxes (we love our cereals), frozen pizza boxes, waffle boxes, and cracker boxes. When you cut these boxes apart...they each have their own krafty goodness inside them. After scanning them and cropping them in Photoshop they make great textured backgrounds. A few other papers were added...and a couple of pictures of the wood shed too. I then combined a few of my chevron overlays and these cardboard textures to create another free set for you. All are for personal or commercial use. But I couldn't stop there. My daughter and I have been playing around with paints lately...her current favorite paints are watercolors. Lots of watercolor experiments have been happening around here. I made some drip, splatter, and spritzed Photoshop brushes to go along with these kraft backgrounds. I just love this look! My daughter had lots of fun spritzing her papers too. The brushes were created in PS CS6 and tested in Elements 11. They are all 2500px or less. I also included most of the brushes in black transparent PNG format (24 pngs in total). The preview only shows a few of the brushes in this set. All are high quality created at 300dpi for print. Enough of the technical stuff and on to the free gifts!

Hope you enjoy creating with these as much as I had making them. Please do not redistribute as is...work them into your own projects.

iNSD Freebie Kit

Happy iNSD everyone! All kits in my etsy shop are 40% off until midnight EST May 6th.
It wouldn't be iNSD without some free stuff so I created a set of free digital papers. Some have a little texture...some not. Download the kit from mediafire HERE.

Spring Sale and freebie journal cards

Spring was in the air here last week...but today we got snow! In the hope that spring will return I have created a set of spring floral journal cards. I have them in PDF, 8.5x11 inch jpg sheet,  and for those that are digital scrappers as individual png cards too. When printing either the PDF sheet or the jpg 8.5x11 sheet be sure to print it at 100% in order to fit your photo pocket pages. There are a few extra cards in the png set as a little bonus for the digi scrappers.

My 35% off Spring sale in my etsy shop will run until midnight EST April 30th 2013.

For personal use only please. Links to download the free cards are below the preview photos.

More Free Project Life Cards

As promised another printable sheet of Project Life cards. This time they are 4x6 title cards. I've kept them simple. I have mostly single days where we did lots of stuff...and I am not likely to do a full week on a 12x12 page. Keeping the title cards simple with space for adding the date or week just made sense to me. I have a couple of my layouts almost complete and will share as soon as they are done.

Download the 4x6 Holiday Title Card PDF Here

Hope you enjoy and happy holiday crafting!

Holiday Sale

This space has been so neglected lately! I've been busy switching over my shop to instant downloads, making some new kits, and new printables.
I will be having a holiday sale in my etsy shop from December 8th to December 18th with everything in my shop at 50% off.
To start the holidays off I have some free printables. Here is the first of many. Some project life 3x4 sized journal  cards and filler cards.

Download the PDF Filler Cards here

Print and cut out the cards to add to your project life weekly album.

Enjoy creating!

New Year, New Projects...

Happy (belated) New Year everyone!
I've been busy with a few new projects. Making some new years resolutions...and getting these new ideas put into motion.
Some new things happening:

• I am now a team leader of the Digital Designers of Etsy team along with a few other lovely ladies. We are working hard on some new challenges, giveaways, and freebies for this year. 
• I created a desktop wallpaper for the January challenge. You can vote for your favourite wallpaper...plus download all the lovely entries from the teams Facebook page. Voting ends January 31st!
• I've been busy scanning in some more of my antique papers, photos, and postcards to share with all of you.
• Plans are in the works for a new blog - and possibly a new (second) etsy shop later in the year. All to make room for some of my handmade items.

My newest freebie for the new year that you can download via mediafire. Free for personal and comercial use.

Star Overlay Freebie

Santa will be using the North Star soon to navigate the world in his magic sleigh. Here is a png star overlay for use in your own creations. It is provided in jpg and tiff formats as well as in white too. A quick way to recolor the black stars in the jpeg format in photoshop (or elements) is to add a color filled layer on top of the stars and set the color layer to screen. Download the overlays via mediafire HERE. For small commercial use and personal use. Enjoy creating!

P.S. I fixed the link to the previous chevron freebie. It can be downloaded HERE in case you were sent elsewhere last week!

something for the new year

I came across my ombre inspiration board while cleaning up my crafting space last week. Thought I'd do some ombre chevrons. I love the combination! Download the free kit from mediafire HERE. For small commercial use and personal use.

And the winner is...

Congratulations goes to comment number 4 by Carly @ Mason's Roost! You are the winner of the 5 free kits. Please contact me with your wishlist and I will send you your links.

I'm looking forward to the Christmas Holidays. I hope I'll have time to get all of my new kits listed by the New Year...we'll see. I always find it a challenge to pick a dozen papers for a kit...there's almost always two dozen or more that I narrow down to a designers dozen. You can usually find a bonus sheet or two in all of my kits. I have several folders of extra's that don't make it into my kits for sale...but sometimes make it here as freebie mini kits. Today is a little different though...an exclusive mini kit that I am creating for personal use...it will be released in two or three parts as I create it. My daughter has been singing Twinkle, twinkle, little star all the time lately. I captured the singing in a cute picture that needs a special layout. I'll be sharing the finished layout at the end too. Here is the first part, a set of 4 papers that you can download from mediafire.

Our December projects are started...but not as far along as we'd hoped. We are short at least one peice of tile for our fireplace surround...and some trim for the mantel. I'll share the before and after pictures hopefully before santa arrives. We need to get those stockings hung!! Only a couple of weeks left. You can check out my inspiration pinterest board for our mantel. Off to finish a couple of sewing projects from my to do list. The play mat MUST get done!!

New designs and a Holiday Giveaway!

See the end of this post for GIVEWAY details.
Finally back to work creating some new kits after a short break. I've been working with some ledger papers recently. It's been lots of fun combining the ledgers with different patterns. The free Ledger  kit is designed for personal use or scrap for hire use. Full terms of use can be found in the dowload file. Download the free Ledger kit from mediafire. Preview pic is not linked to the download.

And now for the GIVEAWAY details: Prize: 5 FREE kits of your choice. To enter simply reply to this post. For a second entry reply with the titles of your favorite kit from my etsy shop. One winner will be chosen Saturday December 10th at midnight EST via random.org

Dear Santa...I've been good!

Anyone started on their wishlists yet? I know I have. Here's a look at a few of my favorite things on etsy.



I'm trying to get an early start this year as we always seem to be doing things last minute. The holidays are crazy busy...and I end up getting run down and am out one of the days with the flu. This year I have a plan to take things slower and start working on those handmade gifts now. A letter to santa is on the list soon so I created a little mini kit to match the Dear Santa kit that I have for sale in my etsy shop. The mini kit below is commercial use or personal use with no credit required.
You can DOWNLOAD the free mini kit from Mediafire.

 
Don't forget to enter my November giveaway. Enjoy creating and making you're own lists!

Winter is coming

There's a chill in the air...winter is coming! Thankfully we have a list of DIY crafting and home improvements lined up for the winter months. Hopefully these projects will make the long winter fly by! First up on the list is a mantel for our fireplace. I came across this lovely free printable projects checklist design by Jen at IHeart Organizing . I've already printed it out and filled in our first few tasks. I really, really want a fireplace mantel complete and decorated for christmas this year...plus we need somewhere to hang the stockings.

Posh Tartan Freebie Kit

I came across a free web application called Tartan Designer the other day. I used it to create these patterns. It is so easy and fun to use! With a little tinkering in photoshop I turned them into printable sheets in both 12x12 inch and 8.5x11 inch sizes for you to use in all of your creations. The original 72dpi png and jpg icons are also included. Totally in love with this cool web application. The creators also have a stripe generator too.
