CHOO CHOO - it's a birthday blog train!

Today is Chelle's birthday and her creative team decided to celebrate with a freebie blog train! Also, everything in Chelle's store is 27% off today!

My contribution is a set of 2 printable cards that can be printed either as you see it in the preview (just cut out the card front and you're ready to go), or as layers that you can cut out and assemble in order to make a hybrid card. You can download the cards HERE.

Here are the hybrid versions of both cards - I added some distressing, fluid chalk, pop dots and Stickles!


The rest of the train stops are below - ENJOY!

A quick page freebie and some fun stuff coming up!

Eva and I decided that I would turn my layout from her kit Like No Other into a little quick page freebie for you! Here's a preview - and you can pick it up HERE. Leave some love if you like it!


Also, if you haven't speed scrapped yet, here's a chance!! Join us at Stuff to Scrap on Wednesday - there's a great alpha prize for participating!

Happy Easter and a freebie!

Happy Easter, everyone! If you celebrate the holiday, I hope you have a blessed and joyful day.

I did this little piece of word art as a homework assignment for the Type+Writer class at Jessica Sprague, and I thought I'd share:

You can download the .png here (I am now using box.net instead of 4 shared): CLICKY

A little Halloween freebie

I did this little kit for the October 2008 member add-on challenge at RAK Scraps. I'm very happy with the way the papers turned out and I think the acrylic embellishments could be used on any Halloween layout! All credits are in the TOU file included in the download. You can download the file here: CLICKY

Please leave a comment if you like it!

Also, please email me or leave a comment if you want any of the previously posted freebies - I've taken them down from 4shared.

To Daddy With Love Quick Page Freebie

I created a version with word art and one without. Hope you enjoy! You can dowload it here: CLICKY

To Daddy With Love Freebie Part 4

Here's Part 4 of the freebie - it contains ribbons, folded ribbons, 2 uppercase alphas, eyelets and some word art. Hope you enjoy! You can download it here: CLICKY

To Daddy With Love Freebie Part 3

Here's Part 3 of the To Daddy With Love freebie. It contains 4 painted wood buttons, 3 metal frames, 2 painted wood frames, 2 journaling boxes and 2 paper cutout frames. I am planning to do 1-2 more parts, and hope to include some word art, ribbons, an overlay or 2 and an alpha, and maybe a couple tags. Depending on how happy I am with the finished collection, I might also do a couple quick pages!

You can download part 3 here: CLICKY

Father's Day Freebie Part 2

Here's part 2 to the kit - 4 additional papers (although I like the ones from yesterday much better) and a really cool cast pewter brad set. Next up is a set of frames, photo mats, journaling boxes and some word art. Hope you enjoy!

You can download this portion of the kit here: CLICKY

A little freebie ahead of Father's Day

I was messing around with some fonts that I've used with my CraftRobo and I decided to create a little collection of masculine colors and images. I thought some of you might be able to use these for Father's Day photos. I'll be working on elements over the next couple weeks and will try to put a few elements up every day or every other day.

You can download the paper collection here: CLICKY

Fairy Tale Princess freebie - Part 3

Here is the first set of elements for the Fairy Tale Princess kit. I intend to do one more that will include some buttons, lacey elements and a glass slipper! ** It just struck me as I was looking at the preview that the frame is not meant to be turned horizontal - it's not symmetrical. ACK! At least it will work vertically!

Get the kit here: ELMENT CLICKY

Fairy Tale Princess freebie - Part 2

Here is the patterned paper pack to go with this kit - I had a lot of fun creating it! Hope you enjoy. You can download it here:

Paper pack 2 clicky

Fairy Tale Princess freebie - Part 1

Well, we made it back from Disney and we had a great time. We had lunch with the princesses and Alexa was completely star struck - it was really cute and funny! We spent Sunday at the Animal Kingdom and Monday at Epcot - Epcot was almost empty and we hardly waited at all for anything - rides or character visits!

Here's Part 1 of my Fairy Tale Princess Kit, which contains both solid and distressed solid papers in colors lifted from various princesses we saw. These should work great with your Orlando photos (wink!) or just general girly princess photos. Part 2 will be some patterned and multicolored papers, and Part 3 will be all kinds of fun and sparkly embellishments.

You can get the paper kit in 2 separate downloads - WARNING! The second download file is VERY large.

Springtime Elements Freebie

Here are the companion elements to the paper collection I posted earlier. I am really happy with the way this kit turned out! Hope you enjoy it and can use it for your Easter and spring layouts.

A Springtime Freebie

Hope you enjoy this little paper kit. I am working on some elements and should post them in the next few days.

Italian Countryside Digital Elements Freebie

Ok, I need to spend some time with my family. But I am truly obsessed and having a blast! Here's the element kit to go with the papers I posted earlier today. The applied effects changed the depth of color on some of the elements, but the tone should be the same and they should all work together. Enjoy!

Italian Countryside Digital Paper Freebie

After the crazy bright yellows in my last kit, I had a great time with the subdued colors in this paper kit. I am working on elements now and should have them posted soon!
