Merry Christmas

Well, I didn't get around to another Christmas scrapkit. I was busy and my online time was happily spent in other pursuits but ne'er mind.
There's loads of gorgeous Christmas kits about in the colours we all love so I'm sure if you need a red/green/gold kit there's plenty to choose from :)

I probably won't be making any new scraps/freebies 'til after Christmas as I'm now in full preparation mode of cooking, cleaning, shopping, and last minute dashing about. My online time will be a 1hr chunk in the morning when I'm sipping my brew and thinking about life lol!!
And I'll be offline from about the 24th to the 27th/28th.

So, in the meantime...MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
Wishing all who visit my blog a joyous festive season, filled with love
and a few laughs too.
Have a peaceful and blessed time xx

(Yeah, I'm defo Team Cullen)

Awards and Stuff

Firstly, I got this questionnaire from both Shell and Melissa :)
so I thought I'd better do it lol!


1. How long have you been using PSP?
Since 2005 when I started with Paint Shop Pro 8 - then got given Paint Shop Pro X
for Christmas the year it was released and haven't upgraded since hehe


2. How did you get into making tags, scrapkits?
I used to be a prolific eBayer and saw the sig tags in the community forums. I wanted to make my own...so I did :) As for scraps, well my friend Clarey was/is a cool scrapper and I thought I'd have a try myself!


3. Who is your favorite artist?
This one is tricky 'cos it depends on my mood :) I'd say the artists that I enjoy using frequently in my tag making are Barbara Jensen, Keith Garvey, Elias Chatzoudis, but I also love Pops Wong, Anne Stokes, Josh Howard, Jason Levesque, Jena Dellagrottia, SugarGrl14 and lots of the deviantart designers who so freely give permission for PSP'ers to use their artwork.
There's some beautiful photo manip and vector artists work on there!
In fact - I love any artist that takes the time to add Terms of Use in their FAQ's on their site. Online permissions - ya gotta love em xx


And if we're talking hanging on the wall artists...I love Constable, Turner, Vettriano and Monet....lmao! I bet you're glad you asked now hehehee!


4. Who is your favorite scrap designer?
Hmmm...apart from Mary Fran and Kay Miller - I love Irene Alexeeva and also lots
of my friends work - don't want to offend anyone by leaving them out, so you all know who you are lol!


5. Which 3 blogs do you visit every day?
Um...I don't. Sounds awful doesn't it, but I don't. I check emails, check here, then BAM! Straight into my Groups, PSP, PS, tag making, scrap making. But about once a week I have a quick round up of my favourite blogs xx

Anyway that's my answers to the questionnaire :)
and I don't really have 3 people to pass it on to 'cos I think everyone I'd have passed it on to has done it xx

I also recently got these awards

This one I got from Lyn

Karin
andAquarius



This one I got from Jamie

and from Babe
and also from
Laura


Finally, this one

from my pal Tiggs

Huge hugs and thanks to everyone above xxxx and anyone who's given me these awards who aren't mentioned here.
But as you - who read my blog often - know I don't really do awards and such but I had an influx of these and wanted to say thank you xx ((hugs))
Consider me awarded xx

New Project...So Excited!!

I'm so excited today lmao!!

Me and me bezzie pal Clarey (you may know her too from her bee-yooooootiful scraps n stuff) have got together and are launching a new scrap venture.

We are - C & V Designs
and we make custom kits for the people who commission us to make them!!

*thud*

I KNOW!!

Basically, we love making our taggers sized digiscraps as do loads and loads of other people.
Blogs akimbo matey!
We're all in the same field and we love that - beautiful scraps, loads of choice for all xx

But Clarey and I were talking a few days ago and we said we'd love to do something that was just that little bit different to everyone else.
Something a bit unique and then lightbulbs went off over the ol' head and
CUSTOM MADE KITS was the answer.
yessssssss!!
pow bang wallop - and before we knew it, we're in business lol!!

So, we're launching officially today - for more details, please visit our blogsite

HERE

The site includes details on price, how to order and what to do if you have queries etc.

It may not be a popular move to some, some may not even like it. But, in order for us to keep on
evolving and making PS/PSP a fun creative challenge that could possibly open doors, it's nice to stick yer neck out that little bit now and again.
Maybe something wonderful will happen? Here's hoping hehee xx

This personal blog of mine here will continue to offer the occasional freebies and some PTU items, but C & V Designs is the place to go for bespoke custom kits :)

Thanks for reading and hope to do some creating for you in the future xx

New Scrapkit - Shades of Delight - £1.50GBP

New Kit which I've just finished - took me days to get my
head in gear to finish this one. I've got so much PSPing to do!!
Challenges here, tags there, participation here, scrapkits and tuts there - it feels like I can't concentrate on one thing at the mo. I am a twonk but anyway!

I had a hoot in Photoshop learning new methods - hence the gargantuan
amount of wordart included in this kit lmao! Experimental? Well yes, but
I was pleased with the results so I bunged it in the kit too.
Time I think to be retiring some of the PS actions I have used many MANY times in
my scrapkits so some of these elements will be no more in any future kits I make.

Anyway...presenting...PAAAARP!...Shades of Delight :)
I like the word delight - conjures up nice thoughts hehe
So, I went with the flow and came up with this



All items are shown actual size and come without drop shadows

has been a bit raucous and a bit yikes recently...this award is very welcome xx

I'll be back very soon with more bits n bobs (freebies and PTU)
Need some inspiration - will go looking for it lol!

New Papers - Turquoise Dream Freebie

I am in the middle of a kit and I've hit the wall.

Trouble with me is...I love making the papers as they're very individual and get the
creative whatsits flowing! Filters, brushes and whatnot.

It's doing the elements that I have probs with.

I start using too many PS actions and that can result in lots of me kits looking very
bleddy similar lmao!!

Will have to hunt out some different actions s'all! *sigh* More bunce lol!

Anyway, here's 15 freebie papers...elements to follow as and when.

They're in PNG format and sized 600 x 600 pixels

Farewell Estelle...

I got an email this morning which announced the death of Estelle Getty who
played Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls.

She was 84 years old.

I absolutely love The Golden Girls - I even had to get Series 4-7 imported from
the US as they didn't release it here in the UK.

Estelle could have me chuckling like mad at some of the things she got up
to as Sophia and I am saddened to hear of her passing.
She was wonderful as an actress and so caring as a person.

God Bless you Estelle xx

New Wordart - Frustration Freebie

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing ok? Yes? Faaaaaabulous!

Anyhoooooooo, here's some freebie wordart for you xx

that'd go nicely with these.
Anyway, here's the preview


and if you'd like to download it - you can do so HERE
It's in PSPImage format - compatible with PSP7 and above

New Elements - Delicious Freebie Frames

Made these two frames to accompany my "Delicious" kit which is available

But these frames are freeeeeeeeee for you to use (my usual TOU's apply)

Download them HERE and HERE

Hope you enjoy them and oh, one more small little thing to my fellow
bloggers - Please...please...stop tagging me/nominating me for an award
that involves the same 7 blogsite link process.

I don't do it so it's wasted on me if you send one to me.

Sorry to seem like a misery guts (I'm not really...honest lol!) but I'd rather
use my online time creating tags/tuts/scraps or particpating in the Groups I'm in rather
than running around linking and messaging people that they've been tagged for the
umpteenth time.
It's a form of chain mail imho and I never forward them on either.
Thank you xx

New Scrapkit - Rock Princess Part 2 Freebie

To compliment Part 1 of Rock Princess - shove this lot together
and you'll have a pretty sizeable taggers kit lol!

I am appalling at Previews - they always look a right busy mess.
I couldn't get everything on here - so not everything is showing.
Think of it as a surprise hehe!



However, this mini kit includes

4 more frames (various styles and shapes)
2 Studded "Bracelets" - not really bracelets...you'll see if you download.
4 more Wordart - same words, different font
1 Heart with Glass and filled with musical notes

New Wordart Freebie - Nik Lyrics

Some word art I made recently - thought I'd share

I love Nik Kershaw (who?! Google and find out!)
and his most recent album "You've Got to Laugh" has some fantastic songs
on there. Some right corkers loL!

So, I've made some of the lyrics of my favourite tracks into wordart

They are zipped into a folder, containing both PNG files and PSP images
6 pieces - one of each format.

If you need to add a credit for the lyrics on your tags - Nik Kershaw

Tip: when using in tags, an Eye Candy Gradient Glow looks good with these too.

I've enclosed my TOU's in the zip - BUT there is an additional Term of Use for
these and any of my wordart.

Please do not create BRUSHES out of my wordart and then claim as your own
work to share amongst friends/share groups or as tutorial supplies.
Thank you x

New Scrapkit - Nature - £1.50 GBP

Hi there,

My latest taggers sized kit - NATURE



I've tried to pack as much on the preview
as possible, examples of the elements etc - but there's more to this kit than shown lol!

If you purchase this kit, you will receive -

10 Papers (600 x 600 - various patterns and styles)
4 Decorated Frames (two shape frames with ribbons and pin and two postcard frames with with jewelled elements added)
2 Leaf Frames (one decorated with flowers, one blank)
2 Wreath Frames (one decorated with flowers, one blank)
2 Butterflies
3 Flowers
5 Glitter Elements (same as doodles really, good for tag back elements - 3 are
foilage and 2 are glittered heart shapes)
4 Long Bows (no, not the weapon...Long Bows that have dangly ribbon bits)
3 Decorated Wordarts

All in PNG format, various sizes
Primarily, for tag creation

And all for the price of £1.50 GBP

Some questions you may have...

Now, are you going the permanent paid kit route too?
No. I'm not.
Call this an experiment if you will lol!
The majority of my kits were freebies and future kit creations
will mostly be freebies too!

Why are you selling it instead of the usual giving it away then?
It costs money to purchase various scrap actions for the creation
of kits. And whilst I'm delighted to do it as I love my hobby, I thought it would
be nice to recoup some layout. Scraps take so much more time that tutorials
or tags which are my first love. So, I think it'd be nice to have some schekels for my efforts.

Can I write to you and complain that you're selling kits now?
Well, I suppose you could. But that would probably hurt my
feelings, and who would take time out of their day to do that?!?!
Basically, please don't. It'd probably go straight in the bin.

What happens after I buy it?
As soon as I've read the confirmation email from PayPal that you've
bought it, I shall send you the link to download.

How long with that take?
It depends what time of day I get your email. I'm in the UK
and only online on and off between the traditional working hours (9am-5pm)
You should hear from me within 24 hours of purchase except weekends
when it may take a little longer.

I think it's mean you're selling it?!
Then, you are under absolutely no obligation to buy it.
There are lots of gorgeous kits available for free...

Are you worried about selling it?
Yeah, you bet lol! I could fall flat on my backside
and this be the most unpopular thing I've ever done.
Still, nothing ventured and all that!

If you'd like to buy this kit - please click the PayPal button
that you can see on the top right of the page
and it will take you through to their secure site for purchase.

Thanks for looking, if you buy it - thank you for buying it
and most of all, I hope you enjoy using it xx

New Tag Kit - Egyptian

After getting Garv's Isis the other day, I decided it needed a little something to go with it...so here's the little something lol!!

EGYPTIAN


A small kit - good for creating a tag to accompany an Egyptian themed tube.
(I have a Martin Abel one that also lends itself well to this kit)

Anywaaaaay, what does this little kit include?

2 Frames
2 Papyrus Papers
1 Stitched Circle
1 Bow
1 Lacings
1 Scarab Beetle
1 Cleo's Eye
1 Flower
1 Goddess word and
my personal favourite
1 particularly snazzy Glittery Doodle hehee!

Everything in the preview is shown at 50% of actual size
and it's in PNG format.

Download from HERE if you'd like it

A big hug to all those who bother to take the 2 seconds or so
to leave some ta's. It's always appreciated xx

Hope you get some use from this kit and make some cool tags with it.
There's a tutorial on my main site if you'd
like to see where the idea for the kit came HERE

I'll probably do some extras to go with this wee kit, so keep 'em peeled x

New Extras - Sparkling Words

Some words to go with my Sparkling taggers scrapkit



7 Words in complimentary colours to the original kit

If you'd like them - Download HERE
They're in PSPImage format so it's all one file
Saved as PSP 7 compatible so should hopefully open with your version.

Hope you get some use out of them xx

and one more little thing to fellow bloggers...please don't tag me.
It's not something I'm comfortable doing but thank you for thinking of me xx

New Scrapkit - Sparkling

It's been a couple of weeks since I last scrapped but put my head down and got on with this one today. It's a taggers sized scrapkit (as all my kits are) in some of my favourite shades of Blue, Purple and Pink.
I've been entranced by sparkly things since I was little lol - so here's a slightly sparkly kit - in PNG format.

Yeah, I know - more stars lol!
I love stars and hearts in my tags - so they're the first thing that springs to mind when I'm making scrapkits.
Maybe as I try and get better, I'll add more variety to my kits.
Anyway -
This kit contains
10 Papers
10 Stars - various fills, one left blank in PSPImage format with a fill layer
already selected for you
5 Glitter Doodles
4 Bows
2 Frames
2 Postcards
2 RibbonPins
and a Flower hehe

Preview shows selected items from the kit - all at 50% resized.

If you'd like it, download this kit HERE
and please leave a little love if you take it.

Credit: I forgot to add a seperate credit note in the kit
but I want to give credit where it's very due.
Brushes that I used in the creation of this kit are by Stephanie Shimerdla
aka Obsidian Dawn HERE

New Elements - Glass Chrome Hearts n Stars

a quickie for this beautiful Tuesday morning...


The zip file contains 2 hearts and 2 stars in PNG format

Each one is plain glass and chrome - the butterflies and background are
just my example - but the 2nd one of each also has
a rivet and string threaded.

Tip for PSP'ers - try your Magic Wand on Add, RGB Value, 30 Tolerance
when creating the background floodfilled layer in PSP

Anyway - thought I'd share these - they're simple but I hope you enjoy using them x

You can download HERE

I forgot to include my TOU's file in the zip - but they are simple too.
No sharing of items or link/s - If you think other people would like these, just direct them to this blog to download for themselves...this goes for tag tutorials, group shares, whatever.
And no adding to your own scrapkits as elements - modified or not.
Oh and not forgetting the ol' usual - no changing file names or claiming these as your own creations.
That's it, have fun xx

New Scrapkit - Sights of Summer

Thanks to everyone who cast a vote in the recent poll - the winner which just nudged
Black and Pink into second place was - Summer-like colours.
So here's the kit


The kit contains;
10 Papers
5 long Bow/Ribbons (Bow and Ribbon are the same item)
2 decorated frames
2 flowers
5 Glitter Doodles
6 Glass elements
3 tags
5 Spotties (a tag background element)

If you take it, a little love would be gratefully received :)

I'll probably do another kit towards the end of the month - I am enjoying scrapping
but it's taking quite a bit of time away from my first love of taggin' and tuttin' so will
have a couple of weeks of that first.

I may put up some element packs before the next kit is posted but I need to go
through my purchased designing supplies first
as many TOU's forbid element packs...sadly.

Anyway - enjoy the kit xx
