... but I'm not going to say exactly why yet! All I will say is that I'm about to start working on a new "project"... I won't be giving details quite yet because I want to get things worked out just right first, but it is something which will hopefully be of interest to the cardmakers among you....
I'm suffering a definite lack of mojo tonight! Thursday is the only day I work a full day at work (every other day I finish at 3.00) and then I go straight to my tap class so I guess I am tired - most days I could happily design all night but tonight its been a struggle! Anyway, I refuse to let you down completely so I've still managed two items, first of all a set of metallic corners....
I'm still finding my way around the Artrage programme but one of the great things it does is to allow you to load an image to "trace" and then to paint using realistic paint effects. These range of papers started life as a photo of our gorgeous hamster "Hammy", and I thought they'd be great papers for scrapping pictures of your own furry friends!
I made this Angelfish paper with a view to doing a kit and then ran out inspiration for the rest of it, but I liked the colours so much I turned it into a Quickpage instead.
And I liked the kit so much, I did a couple of brag book pages with it - one for those budding Rock Stars and the other for all those Rock Chicks out there!
Obviously, I don't put anything on here that I'm not happy with, but sometimes I make something that I particularly like, and this is one of them! This is my Rock Out kit, papers to follow in a minute.
Wow! Taking out the backgrounds from images is so easy with the graphics tablet, I'm still in love with it! lol. Here's a set of shiny bows that I've scanned, extracted and recoloured - I'm going to see what else I can find to scan tomorrow!
One of my favourite cardmaking colour combinations is pink and green which never sounds as if it ought to go together, but often works surprisingly well so I've made a little set of pink and green papers.
And here is the Paper Pack for "Frostee". If you haven't already check out my first post here which gives my Elements Pack for this kit, plus the list of all other participating blogs :-)
And to start off the New Year, here's another collab kit - these are such fun to do I've signed up for a couple more over the next couple of months! The nice thing about these two was that the colours were so different, yet both really nice to work with. Anyway as before the list of participating blogs is at the bottom, and I'l post the papers pack in a mo.....
Download the Frostee Elements Pack here and then go collecting!
My name is Angie and I’m a Cardmaker/Scrapbooker who discovered Digital Scrapbooking about a year ago. Since then I have been happily doing digital layouts in Paint Shop Pro using some of the wonderful things other people have made…. until I discovered Photoshop Elements and fell in love with it even more than I am with Paint Shop Pro! I am now learning to make my own digi bits and pieces and am happy to share what I have made in case anyone else finds it useful. If you do use anything I have made I’d love to see it - please leave me a comment with a link to your blog or e-mail me your layout at craftypixiedust@btinternet.com – I’ll put your layout on here for everyone to see!
All the items I make are free – and since November 9th 2008 I've decided to offer the majority of things on here for commerical use. All items for commercial use from now on will show the word "commercial use" in the label - at some point I will go back and mark which of the older items are also commerical use - I haven't had a chance to do this yet as I have been too busy designing! If you are unsure about any of the older items in the meantime, please feel free to ask. If any of the more recent items is not marked "commercial use" there is a reason for it, please respect this. Above all, rule number 1 is have fun with whatever you make! XXX
