Cool Summer Nights QP

I know this is a little backwards, but that's how it goes, I guess :-)

This will be part of a larger kit. It will have some cool colors with a little hot sun- sort of Eastern Oregon. I think this will be kind of random- elements here, papers there- but that's just the way it's showing up. Look for a sprinkling of Designer Resourse items, too.

It's early morning here. My toothless but none-the-less beloved cat is lazily sleeping on my computer. My family is safe , the grape vines are growing and I am typing. Life is good !
I wish you the joy of all your blessings today, whatever they may be.

Huggers- Catt

Last of Popsicle Paradise

This has been very fun.! But I am pooped :-)

A HUGE HUG of appreciation to all of you who have taken the time to go to all the different downloads I ended up with. A better thank you I could not have. I look at every download as a thank you, 'cuz if you didn't like it, why get it?

And for those of you who blessed me with comments, they were the perfect dessert with my tea. I enjoyed them so much! If you ever want a reply, just leave a comment on my blog ( not 4 shared) . The blog comments come to my e-mail and I can answer you.

Now...

I have a confession to make- I have no idea what a linen tea mat is. But it sounded so elegant I had to use it. . . . . on my porch, having tea, surrounded by a tropical paradise sunrise, my linen tea mat arranged beautifully on my hand- made lace tablecloth.... Sigh :)




These borders are much nicer close up-they are 12" x 3". Just click on the pic to see a close up .My pewter just can't handle the full size papers.

Sorry for 2 links- big files.

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

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.
