Working on stuff ....

Just letting you all know I'm alive :-)

I'm participating in a mega kit called "Popsicle Paradise". There are 23 designers participating , including yours truly- and I am having a ball with it. I am trying desperately to get a rose in it somewhere.... anybody up for popsicle lace? LOL ( I can't design with out lace somewhere ...)

It goes public June 1st. I hope you like it. It will be perfect for all those summertime scrapping memories.

Wish me luck- I'm all a-twitter ! More pretties soon. Promise :-) Catt

Ribbon-edged Roses 1 PAPERS

I love roses....

There are 2 more ribbon papers in the download. I have a few more rose papers coming up.
I would be more chatty, but too hard to type. Keep your fingeres crossed for voice activation...

I've been busy ..... it's bow time !

Been gone for too long !

I've been busy, tho.....
Rainy from my Sweetz group made a comment about making bows, and I went on a month-long bow-making search and try- out binge. I've learned a LOT :-)

I want to preface this download with a note about this bow. I copied the style of this bow from an image I downloaded months ago on the net. (it had rainbow stripes) It wasn't from a scrap or designer site or a kit. I have easily put in 50 hours of work drawing, shading, outlining, refining, re-drawing, etc before I even made a bow other than my template. Imagine my shock when I saw an almost identical bow as a giveaway 2 weeks ago ! I guess I'm not the only one who thought it was a great style :-)

I almost didn't put it out, but I've made over 100 of them! (I had a creative fling with adjusting hue, saturation, color balance, you name it) and I want to share them, and what I've learned from making them.

NEWS FLASH !! THE BOW COMES FROM THIS TUT-
http://eaglesrestgraphics.com/tutorials/redbow.htm
It's made from selections.

So- here's the first of them.

Because of their net ancestry- PLEASE- NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY !!! :-)

I will have some CU ITEMS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

These are the bigger ovals. I wasn't sure just how wide to make them- feel free to use deform to make them suit your pics. The preview was pretty cluttered , so I just included part of the other frames. They are much hansomer up close :-) and co-ordinate nicely with the whole kit.

Boys & Girls Part 3 PAPERS

I have really enjoyed taking this kit to the limit- the black is such an accent. You'll find that this coordinates pretty well with parts 1 and 2 of Boys & Girls, but will also hold it's own.

I don't plan much out in advance, just "go with the flow", so I'm just as interested as you are in what's going to get posted :-) This is all pretty new for me. I have a feeling if I did more actual scrapping my designs would be different, so I guess you're stuck with my 'Let's try this" approach. I just don't have the energy to do much actual scrapping ( although I have 2 books in my head...) .... I'm not complaining ! I'm grateful to be able to do this much. Besides, when is there enough time and energy for ANY scrapper you ever met ? LOL

Boys & Girls PART 3 PREVIEW



jUST A QUICK PREVIEW- oopps caps......

Next post will be the papers. I think this can stand alone as a mini kit, but it does co-ordinate with the other 2 parts of boys and girls. Have fun mixin' n' matchin'! More later :-)

Hi ! Here's the last of the Elements for this set. I had fun trying everything I wanted to try- hope I didn't bore you silly with pastels. :-)

The papers in these last few items are a few posts back if you want any of them.

Thank you for all your lovely comments ! Makes me feel great, and glad I had some folks to share with.

DOWNLOAD EXTRa HERE

Boys & GirlsFrames ...

Such fun making these ! They are the "fancy frames" of this kit. There are a few homey ones coming up, in this theme or in part 3, which has some floral and black prints.

This download has 12 frames total- hard to see, but there's blue and blue/green frames, and blue, pink, black, and floral rings for each. See my detail shot below- Thanks!



I'm very pleased that so many folks are enjoying my kits. It's my genuine pleasure to make them.
One blessing of MS- I get to play on my 'pewter lots :-) Gonna go soak up a cup of Earl Grey and contemplate tomorrow's post.

Boys & Girls Heart Frame Series #3 Part 2 LACE


Here's the first of Part 2- some wide LACE to border your pages. Courtesy to the
Epheremeral Victorian for the lovely lace template.

There will be daily downloads for awhile, and at the end I'll offer all of Part 2 as a download-
so if you want to wait until it's all here..... Some folks just want parts of kits, others like to collect the whole thing, so I thought I'd try it this way.

Download Boys & Girls Part 2 LACE HERE

Boys & Girls Heart Frame Series#3 Part 2 Preview



This is a preview of part 2 of Boys & Girls. It's not everything, but you get the idea from this. I calld it "Boys & Girls" because it's mostly pink & blue, but it can be used any way that suits you. I'm going to do it in several downloads so it's not so long between posts.

The lace is next as soon as 4 shared is happy again :-)

Boys & Girls- Heart Frame Series #3 part 1

Long time no see ! Been under the weather, but sun's out now :-)


Here's another in the heart frame series. This is part one, 'cuz there's more . lol

Everything is in the download. Parts 2 and 3 have more individual sections. Just in case it's confusing, all of the Boys & Girls kits are in the 3rd Heart Frame Series; there was just a lot of them!



Download Boys & Girls here

Some folks have asked me about TOU- pretty basic:

PERSONAL USE only,
SEND FOLKS HERE TO GET IT don't redistibute it,
MAKE YOUR OWN STUFF WITH IT if you want,
GIVE ME CREDIT WHEN YOU CAN

Mostly, enjoy it. It's meant to be a gift.

Thanks as always to those who are able to comment- love hearing from you. Hugs to all- Catt

Spring Valentine Mini-kit !


This is the second in the "Heart Frame Series". My love affair with plaid continues! blended with my February infatuation with hearts...

Many thanks to "The Ephemeral Victorian" for the tag & label templates.

I like this little kit- I have plans to expand it, but I'm going to take my time. I think it has potential :-)

Lace frames


Here's a close up of the frames- in these, the laced is colored. The next set is ecru lace and the background is colored. These seem a little lighter to me. ? Compare with tomorrow's post.





I can't seem to get away from lace for long. Something about it just facinates me. There's just so much of it !!

I think I hoped to get a kit out of the frames and ribbon papers,but it just didn't go that way. Maybe it will sneak up on me.:-)

Just scroll down if you'd like the link for the ribbon paper the frames are previewed oN.

Your thank yous are very welcome, and all your comments enjoyed very much. It's nice to know what y'all like.

Enjoy! Catt

Just a little something . . .

Here's a big view of these papers. I'm not quite sure what to call them. I've made several-there's 6 in the download for today. Different flowered ones tomorrow.

I've been doodling around with all kinds of heart frames- I have some more coming in the "Sweetheart" style I did in the mini kit.

In the meantime
, these next few frames and papers in this and the next few posts just 'appeared'- so, whatcha gonna do?

Been busy .....


Howdy, folks! Been running around lately, which is quite new for me. I've been house-bound for a couple of years, but thanks to a new power chair and the most amazing gift of a wheel-chair accesible van, I'm styling now !:-) I actually went to the Mall and took my daughter shopping. Whee-haa! Shoot, I've been to church 3 Sundays in a row, which beats the 4 times I made for the whole last year.

Needless to say, I've been excited, and distracted. It's fun, but I missed the sanity of my quiet time with the 'puter. Found some bows to share, so here they are:








Download is in 2 parts: Here & Here. Enjoy!

Almost Christmas Part Six

Almost Christmas is almost over! I'll be putting out the rest of the kit this week, and then it's on to the new year :-)

I'm very new to this designing stuff, but I'm really enjoying it. I guess you all get to come along for the ride as I learn how to do this. For example, the flowers below. I got started and I couldn't stop! By the time I'd made 50 + flowers I sadly realized that I could not anticipate every design combo a scrapper might want. The RESULT: this kit. Mix and match to your hearts content.













*** A TIP: if you have a clear glass preset in Eye-Candy or SBPro, try flood filling a template with a gradient and use the pre-set. ***

Next post will have some flowers I made for this kit and some other goodies if you don't want to assemble any.

Never say never....

Never say " I won't do that !" cuz then by gol you'll just go right ahead and do that very thing. Shook my head sadly when I saw someone retract an image and apologise, thinking "I would never do that. Poor soul (translate = you idiot) must have lost it..." HA! Come on in to the welcome party for the newest idiot- yours truly ! LOL

WHO KNEW? Scrapping is good for the soul- humbles you right down.

The great part is that I wanted a teapot for my papers for this kit, so I just had to make one. Here's the resulting paper, with a little plaid for company:





I have added these 2 papers to the paper pack2 download, so if your just now getting this kit they will already be in there (scroll down)

My sincere apologies ...

It has come to my attention through my faithful friends at Sweetz that I have used a copyrighted image by Sandy Lyman Clough in this kit, and they are so right!

I apologise to the artist, and to all of you for blowing the basic rule: NO STEALING. I truly did not intend to- I was so carried away by my first kit fever I just beeped along....

Anyway, I've replaced the 2 images that had Ms. Clough's artwork with some frames you can put your own beautiful photos in. The improper images have been removed from the download . I made these two frames to replace them:

Tea & Roses part 6


I now have an immense respect for all those designers out there who have so freely shared their hard work/creations with all of us.

And I know now why they do it- it feels great to create something, and even better to share it! I'm so tickled that anyone downloaded anything I made- can't wait to make more. I get the addicted part now.... it's actually a comfort to have something fun to do. Even before I was in a chair all the time I loved PSP, and it's turned out to be one of the things I can still do (besides spend money LOL)

Here's my stab at elements. I keep thinking I'm missing something....

Download elements 1 here
