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...

Just a quick dash to send these out-

The rose bow in this group has been modified with a color change; the additional bows reflect it.

Chech it out !

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.

Boys & Girls Part 3 OVAL FRAMES

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

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.

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.

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!

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 :-)
