Christmas Kit

I just finished a Christmas Kit which I hope you all like. I've actually been working on some of the items for a while now and think they didn't come out half bad. Especially since I don't have a clue as to what the hell I'm doing half the time. In either case, I think I would be better off hand drawing something and then scanning it as opposed to using the mouse. Anyways, if interested, you can download the Christmas Kit by clicking on the link. Let me know what you think. If you don't have any constructive criticism please do me a favor and look to the top right hand side of your browser...see that pretty red X? Click it. Oh, and be sure to read the TOU! I hope you all have a great weekend! Stay safe and enjoy life!

Free To Use As You Please!

Hi all. These are some of the items that I made up while in the learning process. Consider this an open invitation to use them as you see fit. Use them commercially; make cards; make letterhead; fliers; promotional items; or print them out and throw darts at them if you want!!! Hey, you can even say that YOU made them! Yes, yes, claim them as your own if you want! If you can make some $$$ using them then by all means DO SO! Oh, and if you do make some $$$ using them throw some my way! Just a suggestion - not mandatory if you use them! May not be the best [still in the learning phase] but hey, that's what the learning process is all about! you can get the Autumn Elements and Frames, Bow Wow, Throw Me a Bone and the Purple Raspberry by clicking on the links. Ok, for those of you that have a business, or something in that line, or are new to this blog or just don't have any common sense, if you see something on this blog that is without a doubt NOT created by me please do not use them commercially as these items are for learning purposes only. I guess I will have to post another disclaimer so I don't have to keep explaining myself! Oh, by the way, anger is not one of my personal traits although I do like a good debate every once in a while. Anger takes away to much of what type of person you truly are or can be. Sarcasm IS a personal trait of mine :P --- I do find it interesting that Anon had no real response to my earlier post except to say she would use the items and call them her own. So enough of the negativity! This will be the last response any Anon's [great acronym don't you think?] will get from me. Anywho! I'll post some more "Free to Use" items shortly. Have fun and enjoy!

Pregnancy and Infant Loss

I have had several requests for Pregnancy and Infant Loss and this is the kit that I have been trying to make but have been having a really difficult time with. I have been blessed with 2 beautiful kids and 2 beautiful grand kids and cannot think how it would be if I lost one of them. I searched the web to get some ideas and always stopped at some sites and started reading ... In less than a second I would start crying and feeling extremely saddened. So I apologize if this isn't what the requesters had in mind but I can't seem to bring myself to work on these items for more than 10 minutes at a time before I would start thinking about loosing one of the children in my family. But if you can use them, you can get the Pregnancy and Infant Loss items HERE.. I pray that no one has to go through this and if you have my heart and prayers are for your loss.

Until I write again! Enjoy your day!!!

Breast Cancer I of II

Hi-dee-ho! Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday! Today will be part I of II of the Breast Cancer Awareness items. I went through a scare several months back. Had the mammogram twice and then had the ultrasound [is that what you call it?] and fortunately everything came back great! False alarm! Scared the crap out of me though. Anywho, here is PART I of the Breast Cancer Awareness kit. Pet Peeve: I went to get my license plates for my car and was asked if I wanted to get a license plate for Breast Cancer. It went for something like $48. Out of curiosity I asked how much actually went to the funding or research of Breast Cancer. Do you know it was something like $2!!! A normal license plate would have cost me approx. $30 - so take the $2 out that went towards the BC research ... the rest of the money went into making the plates! Uhm...I'm not a mathematician or anything...but wouldn't it make more sense if I was to get a normal plate and donated the $16 as opposed to just the $2? I see so many things like this. I know it's good for awareness and all ... but ... come on couldn't a bit more of the money go to the cause?!?!?! Ok, enough of my B&C'ing. Besides it's just one of my thoughts gone wild! Enjoy enjoy enjoy!

Halloween Card

Hi all. I was surfing around looking for some items that would match my little ones Halloween costume and voila! I came across the most perfect kit! The funny part is that the card that I "made up" is actually her preview! I loved it so much the way it was. The only thing that I did was add the bat! The site that I got this on not only has some really nice items but she also has some techniques and step-by-step instructions on how to use Photoshop in order to create items. I tried several of them out and they are really good instructions. Easy to use and understand. So, if you use Photoshop and want to learn a little more, or just want to see what she has, check it out and go to the Create4U website. I will have something in a little bit for you. Until then, enjoy your Monday!!!

Winter Season Frames, Buttons & Eyelets

Yup, it is definitely getting colder out these days! Almost went looking for the ice scrapper for the car - then I realized that I would be taking the Hyundai this morning to drop the little one off at the babysitters. The Hyundai has a really good defroster - defrosts in about 30 seconds! Can't beat that. Well today you can get the Winter Season Frames and, if interested, the Buttons & Eyelets by clicking on the links. Ok, well I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

She Shell Papers

Ok, today will be the last of the s.e.a. shell items and they will consist of the papers. So, if interested you can get them HERE. I'm working on some Seuss items...although I know that I did some earlier on but can't seem to locate where they are. In either case, I will finish the ones that I am doing now and look for the ones that I'm pretty sure that I did before and post them tomorrow. Going out tonight with the hubby as it is our 4th year anniversary. Well actually the anniversary is tomorrow but he wants to celebrate it tonight because it seems that somehow the past anniversaries were a little ... well ... for lack of a better word ... ruined. I think I was really ill for one; he was ill for the other and I can't remember what happened on the 3rd one - but they never seem to go as planned. Sooo, we are trying to finagle an early anniversary and have a good night out. Just need to figure out what we are going to do. Well, I hope you all find yourself safe and happy! Enjoy the day!

What a beautiful Tuesday morning! Absolutely gorgeous drive into work today. We had a streaking red sky this morning - you know that kind? Brilliant red with a little streaking of blue sky mixed in with a wisp of just the right amount of clouds mixed in. It looked absolutely phenomenal above the colorful Autumn trees. Mornings like this really makes you feel alive. It's a shame that I sometimes take things for granted...such as a beautiful sky ... a deer ... a fox or even a little chipmunk. Although, I'm usually cursing at the buggers while I'm slamming on my car brakes so I don't hit them as they run across the road - and I'm SURE they DID NOT look both ways!!! Ok, enough of my ramblings [I'm finding that I'm doing that more and more]. Today there will be two different downloads. You can get the Sea Shell Frames or, if interested, the Sea Shell Brads & Stuff by clicking on the links. Until tomorrow! Breath in heavily and exhale lightly!

Sea Shells

Do you know that every time I typed Sea Shells I had to hit the back space because I was typing sheshells! Today and tomorrow will be items pertaining [yikes! pertaining? what am I thinking using a word like that!] to she shells [I'm tired of hitting the backspace...just suffice it to say when you see she shells it really means she shells ... grrrrrr... s.e.a. shells. So if you are at all interested you can get the Sea Shells HERE. Oh, and I am wondering if you noticed the text scroll to the Right >>>>>showing all previous posts. Well, not all of them as I am not done with it ... I have over 300 items and it will take a while to do it. But do you think it worth while? I think when I get time I will have it so not only when you click on it it brings you directly to the download but a picture will pop up. Or do you think that would be overkill? Please let me know if you think its a good idea or just a waste of time. Well, until then! Peace out and enjoy!
