A Reminder about Masks - Again!

Hello, it's me again with a little less gentle that usual reminder about my Masks.
If you aren't a mask maker, breathe happily, my blogettes - this isn't addressed to you :D

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of discovering that not one but two of
my masks had been used by someone to make their own mask. To offer as their
own creation. On their blog. For download by others.
The air turned blue...

I'll make this as short and sweet as I can.

In my TOU it says
4. Please do not change any of the mask names or claim as your own mask design.
Please don't use my masks as bases for creating your own masks/templates/scrapkit papers/elements etc.

So - to clarify,

Please do not use any of my masks when making your own. It's that simple.
If you are making a mask, don't use anyone's masks to make your own masks.
Don't use templates to make templates, don't use brushes to make brushes, the
list goes on...
If you are creative and want to be a PSP supplies designer - fabulous!
But, it is not a free-for-all, there are do's and don'ts.
Take the time to find out.

Anyway, I'm starting to prattle on. So I'll stop lol!
I don't do so-called "name and shame". Not into that, never have been.

But the person who did this, knows they did this. And I'm asking nicely.
Please take the mask down from your blog. Please do not do it again.
Thank you.

Right, that's that done with - normal service has been resumed...
Back soon with more cheery stuff.

Valentine - A Week of Love - Day 1 Mask

 Hello lovelies!!

7 days (including today) until the day of l'amour!

So, in that spirit of love - a week of my goodies.  Might be a week of masks or wordart or templates or snaffables or whatever!

Pop in each day and see what awaits you...could be anything.

Today - it's three versions of the same mask.  (I can't work out if it's the most over the top mask I've ever made but it's right up there...and I likes it LOL!)

(Click on the mask you'd like and then right click to save to your computer)

3 versions of same mask - two with different texts and one blank card 

which you can put your own message on when making a sig tag etc.

My usual mask terms apply (non profit use only, no sharing and no copying/ripping/reverse engineering)

and ONE MORE term added...

They are BLOG and/or MY FACEBOOK PAGE EXCLUSIVES - only available.  From this blog.  Or my FB Page - VixPSP

No where else.

If you would like these masks, you are very welcome to download from my blog or FB page.

(After the week is up, I'll probably zip everything up and have a big goodie bag download on here - but for now, it's daily over this week - I'd like to see who popping in - my map is getting loads of world flags on it - hellooooooooo! And my facebook page would enjoy the traffic loL!)

Sorry.  I'm digressing (so what's new hehe)

NO SHARING whatsoever.  If used in a tutorial, please direct your peeps to download from my sites.

And if used in forum/group challenges - same goes.

Oh - and my Chatbox pn here is sad.  No one is posting in there.  A thank you goes a very long way so if you drop a ta when grabbing a goodie or two - I'd love that.  

Thank you :) xx

Thanks again chickadees - see you tomorrow for more ♥

Day 6 - Another Mask!

 Afternoon lovelies, 

Firstly, yet more apologies!   I keep disappearing in PSP for hours and then go on a merry go round on the interwebs.

I get lost for ages and then it's time to start doing things like oh you know...housework, cooking etc loL!

So, I'm sorry nothing happened yesterday but I have hit the jackpot and am feeling ready for some serious creating!

Expect the unexpected over the coming days/weeks as I get right back into my stride and even beyond!  There will be TUTORIALS...there will be MASKS and there will even be a kit or two...a freebie and a not so freebie but more on that later...

In the meantime, here's a freshly made mask - more coming in the morning, I'm in the middle of 4 more and I really like them so hopefully this will whet your appetite for the coming goodies :) Click on the mask to see full size and to save to your own comps.

PERSONAL NON PROFIT USE ONLY - MASK BY VIX

Pop back tomorrow for the last of the 7 day drops - which will be a BUNDLE to make up for the slow start loL!

Your patience is appreciated, lovelies!

See you in the morning xx

Hallowe'en 2012 Mask Set 2 - Freebies

Morning blogettes!

Hope you all had a good weekend?

So then, only 3 days 'til the Ween and
here for you is the 2nd part of this
year's Hallowe'en mask offerings



Masks 5 - 10 are in this one
and for funzies, I've also included NON-Hallowe'en versions
as I thought the mask bases were so nice and a pity
to only use them once a year hehe

So in total - 12 Masks for your delight and taggy pleasure
What's that coming over the hill, is it a tagger?!
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!

If you'd like them - please download from HERE

Thank you to those who leave a lil' love in my C-box over there! I see yooooou!
It's appreciated :) xx

And thank you anyone who leaves a comment, I like those too hehe xx


AND Yes....brace yourselves my girls, you knew
I'd mention it again lol!
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out
that I have a couple of recent kits up for grabs over at Scraps and the City
My Hallowe'en kit for this year is 50% off making it an absolute steal!

You can pick up that kit HERE

Thank you very very much to all and anyone who has purchased it so far - you
utterly rock and made this designer tres smiley hehe xx
And I hope a few more of you will nab it before the season is over :)

OK
I've got lots of taggin' to do so I don't know what tomorrow's freebie will be -
You'll just have to pop back and see...won't you lol

Huge hugs and thanks for dropping by
Enjoy the masks and don't forget, my usual Personal Use Mask TOU apply xx

Vix Masks - 476 to 485 -

 Hello lovelies!

Keeping well?  I hope so xx

I've got 10 new mask designs for you to play with.

The first two are based on my most requested and probably most tagged mask - Mask 147 (also the most ripped off...at lease twice to my own certain knowledge loL!)

The rest of this first set is also star shape based then decorated with my passion for all things harlequin and beautiful steampunk

I'm trying new layering methods and techniques so I hope they'll translate well to tags/backgrounds etc.

My 2nd set of 5 is a real mixed bag of shapes - still has a few SP bits but also heavily features the good ol' shamrock (clover) in various styles; a nod to the upcoming festival of beer, rainbows and luck aka St Patrick's Day -  which as usual - has seized PSP world in a festoonery of green lol!  Being British, I don't celebrate this festival at all, but lots of love, luck and blessings to all my lovelies who do ♥  I've got so many St Pats kits and tubes this year so I'm going to spend this week in a sea of green hehe...

I may eventually get around to doing previews (!) and zip them up for download -  but for now, you can easily tap on the previews then right click and save them to your own computers :)  

(At least this will guarantee a little site traffic.  Many thanks to you who visit and take the moment when we catch up in psp land to let me know you've dropped by - you know who you are and I appreciate it xx )

Unfamiliar with my Mask Terms of Use?

PERSONAL USE ONLY - NON PROFIT - NON  COMMERCIAL - NO FILE SHARING/HOSTING - NO RIPPING APART/REVERSE ENGINEERING/COPYING

You can always read the full Terms on my Page HERE

I'll be back sometime next week with some new gorgeous tag background/overlay/textures (call them what you like loL!) and some Pasts themed Snaffables.

Until then,

Monday Mask 2 - Freebie and Coming Soon...

Masks - Vix_Mask436-440

Hi blog smashers xx

to use in your taggy creations

or for you to use another mask over the top of it)

Mask_438 uses some of my very favourite quotation brushes
which I got a long time ago and don't know who made
them. MMDEFINED_ is the name of them. If you know
who created them, could you let me know please so

Thank you xx

*NEW* One more Christmas Mask and a Wish

 It's Christmas Eve!

Good Morning lovely ones, it's that day again.

My favourite day of the live-long year - Christmas Eve.

I wanted to get so much more done to put on here but as usual, time has conspired or I've used it unwisely - take your pick lol

But, here is one more new mask with a Christmas theme - click on the image for full view and right click to save it

It uses a lyric from one of my all time favourite films "Meet Me in St Louis"

The song is beautiful.

Anyway, wanted to share this with you before I go offline for a few days.

When I return, it'll be full steam ahead with Winter themed goodies and yes, that may include a few more Christmas things.

(Am I late for this year or early for next - ha!)

Either way, I shall have some fun loading up the blog with some new offerings so pop in each day from the 27th onwards and see what awaits you!

In the meantime, I wish you and yours the very best of everything and a very Merry Christmas.

May peace, love, hope and joy visit you - even if your loved ones and relatives cannot (!?)

See you soon,

New Masks for 2011 - Vix Big Set 1

Hello blogettes

Hope you're all well?

Here's something a little new for 2011.
Big Masks.

I've noticed that my tag size has risen thanks to rockingly large tubes and forums who let you go big :) But I also noticed when making tags that are large, a lot of my masks are distorted (obviously, they were made smaller!)
So, I thought - hey! Big...ger Masks!

And here we are




There are 10 in this set, different styles (one not shown, didn't fit on preview lol!)

Sized 700 x 600 pixels
Personal Use.
Easily resized if needed.

And, I've remade the most popular mask of mine - Vix_Mask147
so it's now suitable for big tags too.
It's still - after all these years - the most used (and most ripped - twice now!) mask of mine and I also use this one a lot in my own tag designs so hope someone else will enjoy getting a large based version.

If you'd like these, you may download from 4shared HERE OR from Box.net HERE

I've also included my updated TOU file in the zip, just some clarification and reinforcement hehe.

OK, so hope you enjoy these new big masks. If they come in handy, do let me know and I'll see about getting another set out.

Hugs all round xxx

Thank You and a Note about my Masks

I opened my email this morning and had a few emails from some people letting me know that someone has a load of my masks on their blogsite.

I went to have a look for myself...
This person has a blogsite which seems to be a hosting point or hub for other people's work from kits to tuts to tubes etc!?!

Just to clarify - No, I have not given this person permission to do this.

These masks are freely available for download from my tutorial site so it's astonishing that someone takes it upon themselves to host them elsewhere!!

My mask terms are really simple;

Can I use them in group challenges/tag tutorials?
- Yes, you are very welcome to.
If you use them in a tutorial, you may even include the mask/s used in the tutorial within your supplies folder. File names should remain unchanged and a text link to me on the tut page is very welcome too :) xx

Can I take a load of your masks and share them around/host them on my own personal file share account?
- No, no you can't - well, that is, no you shouldn't. My masks are free to use, and readily available from my site for download. If there are expired links, then let me know and I'll upload them again. But no, I'd much prefer that my masks aren't bulk shared by another person - anyone!

So, my hugs and thanks to the people who emailed me to let me know, it's very appreciated and good to know there are lovely people out there in PSP land xx

Merry Christmas to All!

Hiya blogettes!!

Apologies again - yesterday fell by the wayside, in a lovely way!
I was up to my eyes in Christmas preps but set aside some time for comp.
However...
My eldest nephew surprised us with a visit (he goes home today) so
the computer was put away the minute he arrived, of course! :)
Family first everytime lol! xx

Anyway, this morning, I finished my seasonal stuffies.
So - here's the last mask for Christmas



Right click and save to your own computer if you'd like the mask.

And as promised, some festive wordart -



Personal Use only - if you'd like it, you can download it HERE

And on that note, it's time to start celebrating my favourite time of the year!

To all my gorgeous blogettes, followers, visitors and downloaders - I wish you
a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy
and prosperous New Year xxx May you have fun, love, peace and joy this season and
I'll see you again in the New Year with some new goodies, freebies and more xx

God Bless Us Everyone!!

Mask Set - Hallowe'en 2010 - Set 2

Morning blogettes!

I've been up since sparrow's cough this morning...no idea why lol!

Anyway, 5 more masks for you today -



Hope someone can find some taggy use for them :D

Download from HERE and some words of pleasantness when you're waiting for
the download to happen? Well, that's always lovely to see...especially as the
Set 1 comment count was (at 6am this morning) a grand total of 0. Yup, nada!
(You'd think after a couple of years it wouldn't tick me off, but it does lol!)

Anyhoo...

Back soon with more stuffies,

big hugs xx

Wellity Wellity Well!

Hello you lovely blogettes...it's been a while and I'm still
floating about the t'Internet!
IF you are still subscribed or following my blog...why, thank you very much and hello there!
Hope you're all well?

I am just having a little play over at my favourite taggy forum - as it
my want on a Saturday morning - and I popped by my blog to see what's what.
Gave it a simple makeover and that gave me a taste...I think I'll make "something" tomorrow and maybe post it up on here.

What will it be? A mask? or two?
Perhaps a template?
Or even...maybe even...a tutorial?
Crikey!

So which is it going to be?
Oh I dunno yet, not even made it lol but it might come in handy during your PSP time :)

See you tomorrow and stay tuned xx

Mwaaaaah-ahhhhh-ahhhhhhh!

Thank you and Tag Textures Freebie

Hey up, blogettes!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to come back before Hallowe'en - I was
rushed off my feet modding at the group I'm in which was
great fun but time-consuming
Also had a couple of minor incidents at home!
One involving me yelling on the phone to some gonk at a Company
which dismissed my job application automatically without even an interview
(lmao! I know, not the ideal way to get employed but they'd already
vetoed my app so sod 'em!) and
was so angry when I came off the phone
I didn't know what to do with myself
as Dusty would say!
And then, 10 mins later, one of my puds appeared to have got into
a cat scrap and I spent most of yesterday afternoon watching her to see
if she was ok!
Not conducive to happy tag making.
I'd switched off my comp after making only 1 tag so not like
my usual Hallowe'en day lol!

Anyhoo, I'm blathering on and digressing as usual...

So, I hope you all had a fabtastic Hallowe'en and enjoyed all the
goodies available?
Yes?
Hoorah!

To say a big thank you to all of you and especially those of you
who purchased my kit/s or downloaded my freebies - here's another!

Go to the DOWNLOAD BELOW

I've had these tag textures sat in my created stash for a while
so I've finished them off and now they're yours :)
These will come in handy for tag backgrounds - good
for cropping and adding a mask to or for overlaying
on blended tags
Whatever you use them for, I hope you get some enjoyment from them

800 x 600 pixels in JPG format - 10 in total in this set
Personal Use Only, please

If you'd like them, you can download them

HERE

So, what's next?
Well, getting a job is on the cards big time.
Am hunting as we speak.

Hopefully, this will still leave me some online play time and
IF it does then more tag kits (Winter one first then my favourite season!)
and a few more freebies here and there too

Check the blog once a week for updates and possible freebies.

Changes are coming for me, and I am not one to embrace change all that
well, so wish me luck lol!

See you soon, you smashing lovely people xxx

Back soon with more PSP offerings xx

Cheery-Bye 'til we meet again!

Well then everyone - what a difference a few weeks can make!

I have decided to retire from the PSP tagging community from today.

Something Albert Einstein once said has been haunting me recently -
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
And that's how I feel about my own personal tag-making at the moment. Gaaaah! lol!

Plus, I've never been brilliant at dealing en mass with moods swings, egos, tantrums, temperaments and the general day-to-day things that happen in the PSP community. It can be quiet and lovely for a while, then BAM! All out mayhem and drama coming from all sides. And that's never been something I've enjoyed.

So, I've finally taken the plunge and admitted that it's time to hang up my tag making tools and go and do something different instead.

It's been a pleasure making things and I've loved it but I think new challenges are needed in my life.

So, I'm stepping right back from the "tagging community" otherwise known as PSP land.
Retiring - sounds so grand? I ain't no Frank Sinatra loL! But I suppose that's what it is. Retirement.

My tutorial sites (my main tut site has over 200 tutorials so I'm not wasting them loL!) and these Blogger sites will continue to be online so hopefully, if you need a mojo refresh or you're looking for a mask or two to help you along, they'll be here for you. I'll pop in from time to time to see that all is well so hopefully links will remain active etc.

I shall remain registered with Tutorial Writers Inc and my Terms of Use are still effective indefinitely.

And never say never.
Maybe one day, I'll get the time and the taste for tagging again and if I do - well, as Arnie would say...

So until then,
Thank you for all the thanks, the tags, tubes, kits, tuts and laughs.
It's been a hoot and a half.
And special thanks to my lovely friends - you know who you are! - for all the support and friendship over these last few years. It wouldn't have been quite so much fun without you.

'Til we meet again
Have fun, happy tagging and Thank You

Your friend,

Vix xx
