Vintage Saint Patrick’s Day Mini Kit Freebie

I recently purchased a very pretty vintage art deco die cut bridge tally card.  Oh, I just love vintage! And, since it was so nice, and perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day, I decided it was time to put together a quick mini kit.  I scanned, cleaned up, and extracted this pretty girl on a fan holding a clover, added some CU stuff, and here it is.  Please note, it is for personal use only:

Digital Scrapbook Kit “Vintage Valentine 2013” Freebie

It seems like I just put away all the holiday things, and we are already into Valentine season.  Everywhere I go/look, there are Valentine decorations, and even Easter decorations! Well, I happened to stop by a most wonderful store in our town, Mozart’s, and felt inspired to do a freebie kit.

VintageValentine2013

As with last years kit I made, this one is also inspired/based on a cute vintage Valentine card that I picked up at our local antique mall.  I included elements taken from my personal collection, added some CU items and here it is.  Please note, it is in two parts, and it is for personal use only. Enjoy creating with it!

Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebie

I am participating in the Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies bloghop, and made this kit.  Earlier in the year, I found a really cute vintage children’s activity book at a local antique store.  I love this type of graphics, as it brings back fond memories from my childhood.  I scanned and extracted a few of the elements, created some of my own, added some CU goodies, and this is what I came up with.  Please note that this is for personal use only:

And here are the downloads ( two parts):

Cutiepie Misfits Grand Opening! and Freebie

Well, my daughter finally opened her little shop over at Etsy! – Cutiepie Misfits.  Here are the adorable amigurumi characters she crocheted and has listed in her shop:

And in honor of her shop opening, I made a digital kit featuring amigurumi she crocheted:

A QP Freebie is also included in the kit. And here are the downloads in three parts – Enjoy!

And please stop over and visit her Etsy shop Cutiepie Misfits! Thank you! 🙂

The Cow Jumped Over The Moon And Freebie

Well, here is the third kit I made for the DSS play along.  I won’t be uploading it to DSS as I did not follow the rules exactly :-).  Here is the photo I chose for my theme:

When I saw this photo, I imagined a cow jumping over a moon.  And, since I like that nursery rhyme, I decided to make a mini kit based on it.  And here it is:

And here is the download – Enjoy!

Delft Blue Moon And Freebie

Well, here is the second play-along for the DSS challenge.  Again, it is moon themed.  We were allowed to add one additional color (and it’s different shades) – of course, I picked pink! Here is the  inspiration photo (courtesy Captain Kimo):

When I saw this photo, I thought of all the pretty blues, and Delft Blue came to mind.  Delft holds a special place in my heart, as the city that my DH and I met in grad school. The year we were there, they even had a blue moon! Thus, the name Delft Blue Moon :-).  I scanned and extracted tiles I had gotten back then.  I also found a vintage embroidery pattern of a little Dutch boy and girl that I colored digitally.  And here it is:

Here is the download, Enjoy!

I believe there is one more round to go. I’ll try to do it again, so check back in a week or so!

Moon Princess and Freebie

Well, I didn’t make the first round of  Digital Scrapbooking Studio Next Designer Challenge :-(, but decided to do the play-along thing since I had so much fun putting together a kit. So, here is my next kit, again moon themed per requirement.  Here is the inspiration photo, again from Captain Kimo:

This time, I made a kit based on a fairytale from my childhood, Kaguya Hime.  In short, it’s a story about a naughty moon princess who is sent down to earth to live with a kind woodcutter and his wife.  They live happily until she grows to become a beautiful young lady.  The Emperor falls in love with her, but in the end, her moon family takes her back to the moon.  Something like that :-).  Any way, here is the kit. Enjoy!

Digital Scrapbooking Studio Designer Challenge & Freebie

Digital Scrapbooking Studio is having their annual Next Designer Challenge.  And this year, I decided to participate.  The first round theme is “Moonrise”, with a given color palette to work with. Here is the inspiration photo by Captain Kimo:

When I was a little girl, I remember watching an old Doris Day movie titled “By The Light Of The Silvery Moon”.  I recall loving that movie and song, so that is what I based my kit on.  On the drive down to take our son back to college, I spent time sketching a bride & groom, wedding cake, and a crescent moon.  I extracted elements from photos I took, and added a few CU elements, and here is my kit:

Here is the link to download the kit.  It’s not a direct link, but will take you to the DSS Gallery where the download is.  While you’re there, check out some of the kits from other participating designers. You can download them too:

Watermelon Days Freebie

Watermelons are one of my favorite fruits in the summer, especially living here in the California desert region.  I have been in the mood to try some designing lately.  I came across this cute CU girl with a watermelon, and decided to put together a kit around her.  All credits are on the TOU in the kit.  Feel free to download this kit, but please note that this is for personal use only. Enjoy!I also made a QP freebie (included in the kit):

Pinks Mini Kit Freebie

I have been having fun playing with Artrage, and decided to share some of the elements I drew.  I also used the trace application to draw the vintage style element of the little girl with the bunny.  There are seven elements and one background:

Back To School & QP Freebie

Whatever happened to back to school in September? With the “Modified Traditional” schedule of our local school system, our dear daughter will be going back to school in less than two weeks! With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to work on a Back To School layout.  This layout is a bit elementary considering she is a senior in HS, but I thought it was cute:

Kit: Back To School by Farrahs Designer Scraps.  Farrah is having a Buy My Store sale going on for the amazing price of $10.00! If you have ever wanted to start Digital Scrapbooking or just want to add to your digital collection, head on over to her store Designer Scraps.

Here is the layout I made.  The board on the QP is left blank for your own personal journaling:

And here is the QP Freebie for you to download:

Digital Scrapbook Kit “Vintage Valentine” Freebie

I have been busy CT’ing for Created By Jill, GDS, and NDISB making layouts.  It is a lot of fun but I also wanted to try my hand at designing.  So when I saw this adorable vintage Valentine at our local antique shop, I decided to design a kit around it:

I took photos of items from my various collections, the plants and flowers in my garden, and added some CU elements from The Scrappin Cop.   And here is the kit:

And here is a layout I made (QP included in kit):
