Another one of my Mum and Dad's photos, this time of trees in bloom, was the basis for these three papers. Here is one of the sheets so you can see the whole thing

And here is the choice of three colours

Glass beads

Some strings of glass beads for you now, again in several colours (lol the Pixie likes the hue and saturation button!)) I guess you seasoned digi-designers are shaking your heads and laughing but I'm still at the stage where its all very exciting!

Grab the beads here.

Metallic Foil Papers

These were the result of just playing with a mixture of filters etc and seeing what came out! Some "Metallic Foil" papers in a range of colours, here is an example

And these are the different colours

Any advice?

I've noticed some of my files (the .png ones) are showing up a little strange on 4shared. I've downloaded them to check and they are downloading just fine so does anyone know how I can avoid this? I'd hate anyone not to bother downloading them because they think there's something wrong with them when there isn't!

Any advice gratefully received!

Pet tags

Three little metal pet tags this time, one plain, one for the dog lovers and one for cat lovers!

Jumping for Joy

Here's a very simple layout I did using the "Rose" paper below. This is my Daughter Isobel on a "jumping pillow" at a children's farm this week!

I'd normally probably add a bit more but this is one of the first where I've been able to said I made everything on there myself!

Freebie number 1 - Rose backing paper

Well, here is the first one! Hopefully as I get better things will be a bit more organised and I'll offer things as sets but for the time being they will be individual items. This backing paper I call "Rose" and there will be some matching items to come in due course.

Hello!

Well, this is my new blog, which is intended solely to cover my digital scrapbooking "playtime"!. I've been using Paint Shop Pro for some time to do layouts with some of the wonderful papers and embellishments I've collected from other people, but I've recently discovered Photoshop Elements 6 and am completely hooked! I've been experimenting with making my own bits and pieces (I'm very much at a beginner stage) but I thought I'd share my makes on here in case anyone else finds them useful and hopefully they'll get better as I have fun practising!

Any comments will be very welcome!
