Something different freebie.....

well, something different from me...lol
This is like a quickpage..each file is a paper,
a frame and a ribbon and I saved it as a .psd
file so that the layers stay intact. You can mix
and match them with one another if you like.
use it as is..or each element by itself.
I thought I would try it out like this instead
of putting all the papers in one zip, all the
frames in another and son. I dont think I
am going to do it like this all the time..its
just how this particular scrap hit me.
If you like, tell me if this works for you.
I left it in the psd format so that Paintshop
and Photoshop (as well as some others)
would be able to use them.

There are 3 of each:
3 papers, 3 frames, 3 ribbons
in 3 different colors. Here's the Preview:

Monday..Freebie time!

LOL...when isnt it!..LOL
I made these today..I started out trying
to figure what I was going to post tonight,
and upon opening paintshop (which I shouldnt do)
I spotted something I did some time ago but I just
didnt know what to put it with. But playing today
I came up with this little diddy. Its not how I really
wanted it to be..but its cute and couldnt leave it, so
here they are for you..
I call them Star Dangles (for lack of a better term)
here's one of them:
Sorry, Photobucket preview isnt working, I do have
a preview on 4shared..here's the link to see the
PREVIEW....HERE

Get them.............HERE

I have these real nice papers I want to put here,
but I want to put some embelly's with them..the
problem?
I'm cant make up my mind which way I want the
embellies to look..sheesh! If I dont come up with
some embellies tomorrow, then I am just going to
post the papers and then perhaps ask you all for
some opinions on what type of embellies you think
would look good with the papers. Well...............
See you tomorrow!....enjoy!

RE: My freebies (Sunday)

Just a word to let you know that all
my freebies are still available..use the
Archive on the right side of the blog and
start at July..thats when I started posting
my freebies.
I added the slideshow to showcase the freebies.
Top is the newer ones, filmstripe one is of the
"slightly" older ones and I will be putting another
slideshow to show the older ones from July.
I hope this helps to make it easier for you.
I saw someone posted a comment about my
beads and that I should have put them in a
single zip. I put them seperate because I know
it tedious d/l'ing a zip and going thru it just to
pull out one or two files..plus there are people
out there who are still on dialup and I thought
it would be helpful for them if they only had to
d/l a single zip. But for those who would like
all of the beads in one zip...
here you are......ALL MY BEADS
There are many designs and patterns
on the beads..here's just one ...


the rest of them can be seen if you
click on the July link on the right
side of the blog under

Hello everyone..


I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Its been rainy

day to get things done. Well...some things anyways...lol

I was going to put more papers, but I ended up playing
this morning and came up with these..see how you like them:



PREVIEW: (this one is "Black denim")
previews dont do these pics any justice





Get them................HERE

I will be posting another freebie tomorrow
I am just too tired to pack, zip, upload and post
anything more tonight..I feel a bit sleepy tonight.
Who wouldnt with all the rain we've been having
these past couple of days! I have some real nice
pics of the Moon as well as some 'visitors' that
come around nightly. If feasible, I will post those
tomorrow also. Well everyone.....
Have a great evening!

Okie dokie..a Friday freebie!

Not that there's any special day for freebies : )
Its just that I finally finished what I started and
it happened to be today (Friday).

OK...noone caught that?..lol I just now realized
that I put that its a "Monday" freebie!..lol!
Silly me..like weekends dont go by fast enough!

shame..shame...noone saw that?

Right now as it stands, it will be between 1 - 3 days
that I can put out my scraps. If possible, it will be
everyday..but there are times when that silly little
thing called "life" gets in the way and I wont be able
to put anything out on a daily basis, so it works out
to be approxmately 3 days. So anyways.....
here's todays freebie..some papers for you.

They are "eye-catching" to say the least!

the downloads, so I put up a second link just in case.
Sorry about any problems that may have occurred.

Sunday freebie

hi..Happy Sunday everyone!


Did you have a good weekend? I hope so..noone
really deserves a crappy one! Who needs that!
We deal with enough all week long..we need the
rest and relaxation that Sunday's should bring.

Tonights freebie is my Rag flowers. I gave these
to someone about a week or so ago to say Thanks
to her because she has been a steady visitor here.
Not that I'm saying noone else is..just that I was
able to because she let herself known by leaving
comments. I would love to do that for all of you,
I just dont have a way of finding your blogs, etc.
Its no biggie really..the freebie will eventually
find its way here anyways.
With that I say......Here's the freebie..
Its a couple of Rag Flowers..I think they
are cute..maybe you will too.
There are 3, if you need a different color,
you can simply recolor them by adjusting
them in the Hue/Sat/Lightening area.








Get them.............HERE

P.S......
wanna try out something out for me?
Please let me know how you like this
FREEBIE..should I make more like this?

Finally...a freebie!

Hiya folks!

I have finally finished the new freebies...I was going to do papers,
but from what I have been seeing from the downloads is that the
majority enjoy the embellishes. So I figured I'd give that for today
and tomorrow. This week seemed to drag..or was it only me?
Whatever it was...the end result is...I'm pooped. I guess 2 jobs
a grandson and a house will do that to ya : )

A quick word here...I am trying this new file hosting
site..I could use some feedback on it. Is it any good?
Is it too slow? I would appreciate any comments.
They are giving away FREE PREMIUM ACCOUNTS
I think for a week they are doing it..so if you are looking
for a file hosting site for your files..this free premium
account just may come in handy! After signing up, my
account area says that there is no expiration on this
premium account...so maybe this is a good thing!
The site is http://www.uploadarmy.com/
what are you waiting for! go get that free acct!

Well...are you ready to see and get the freebie?
Here it is:

How about some ...PRONGS
in 2 styles..open and closed

Freebie access!!

Hey everyone
I just found out that you can embed your
4shared folders right here! Not that I have been
all that happy with them, but what I do like is that
all you have to do to get to all my freebies is........
S
C
R
O
L
L
down to the bottom of this page!

If it makes it easier for all of you
I will leave it there. If not, then I
will remove it. So if you dont mind
would you let me know one way or
another if this is easier or not?
I am sure others will appreciate it as much as I do.
Thats for the 4Shared folders, I will be putting the
files for download on Divshare. Once you click the
link to download the file, you will also see links for
the other files I have in that folder as well.

OK..as promised...heres another freebie..
cause you all have been so nice!

ENJOY..!!!!!!!

Happy Monday everyone! a Freebie perhaps????

Hiya everyone,

I hope your Monday has started off on a good foot. I am posting this
because I'd like to say Thank you all for such nice comments left here
as well as on the 4shared site. I can honestly say I know how all those
people felt when I left comments on their sites. Its so rewarding to
see that everyone has been enjoying the scraps.
I felt so badly about people not being able to get my latest freebie
because of 4shared saying the file was "suspected of illegal/copywrite"
issues. I reupped the file in my Divshare account so the link is ok now.
I only hope that those who had trouble getting he file checks back so
they dont miss it. There is no way of letting these people know because
the large percent of the visitors leave a name, so I dont know if they have
blogs too where I can leave a comment not only to say "Thanks", but
to let them know about any updates.

With that I move onto.....what else?......a freebie!

Sooooo....here you are, my Glassy reflect set
its a small file, only one ribbon and one frame.
Preview


Get the set..............HERE

I would like to remark a little about the file hosting
sites if I may. I started to use 4shared because I
figured that everyone was pretty much use to
downloading from there. But I think if more
people knew what other options they have, maybe
they would use other sites as well. I have accts
with
Megashare (not megaupload) http://www.megashare.com
File2upload http://file2upload.net
Divshare http://www.divshare.com

These are really good file hosting sites to use.
File2upload and Divshare have the ability to make
folders, megashare doesnt, but they all are easy to
use. They all have great support.
Divshare keeps your files online forever!
its like having a paid acct.
File2upload does delete files that havent been
downloaded..but they will contact you to let you know
so you can save your files. And to be honest..they have
left files for quite a long time. Megashare also deletes
files that havent been downloaded in 30 days, but again
I have files still there that I put for my own backup and
never have been downloaded by anyone and some of
them have been there since last year. But you should
check those sites out, I think you will end up using them
File2upload and Megashare do give away free premium
accts so check there every once in awhile! If I happen
to catch it, I will post it here...ok?
I guess thats it for now..if I have time, I may put
up another freebie later this evening!

So go and have yourself a great day!

Freebie UPDATE and part 2 freebie ......nice!

Hi gang...
I cant believe the last freebie was on Wednesday! How time flies!
I didnt realize how many days went by already! It blows my mind!
Well..I hope you guys think its worth the wait. I was going to just
put the scraps in one zip and call it a day, but I know there are
people out there still on dialup and downloading larger files can be
a pain in the rear..so I opted to go ahead and make seperate zips.
And..put one zip a day..no worries..its only a matter of 2 days : )
The preview pic shows what this freebie is going to look like.
Tonight I will post the papers first...elements tomorrow.
here is the preview:

"Crochet in single stitch"

get the papers...HERE

4shared really gets on my nerves!!! How is it
they need to rework their filters..it said that my
file is "suspected" of "illegal or copywrite" crap..
ITS MY OWN WORK!!! nothing illegal or no copy-
writes are violated in my work! Grrrr!!!!!

Anyways...I replaced the link with a link from
my Divshare acct. I think I might start using
my other accts. I have prenium accts with 3
different file hosting sites...so why am I going
thru this nonsense? Tomorrow I will post info
about those file hosting sites..I think more than
likely some of you will find them useful to use.

OK...second part..I think this will make up
for the annoyance that 4shared caused.

Part 2...Buttons and Ribbons!!!!
(see the preview image above)
get them....HERE

By the way..I fired off an email to
4shared about this..lets see what they
say...!
My apologies for the inconvienance

Good Night gang!

Sunday and..2 Freebies!

Hello everyone..

I hope you all had a nice weekend. Hopefully some of you got to do some scrapping.
Me?..nah, I had a few things to do today and just had time now to post these before
calling it a night..got to get up early in the morning..see, my day starts at 4:30 am
and by the time I get done with everything..its close to 1 am. So needless to say,
I'm pooped!
Ok..onto the freebies.. I have 6 overlays if your interested. There are 3 in black,
2 in grey and one in white..of course you can turn them into whatever color suits
you. If the black design seems to make a better overlay in white, then by all means
simply hit the Negative button or whichever you like to do it best. Me? I just use
the Contrast and Brightness feature and slide it all the way to the side I happen to
need..if I want white, then I slide both sliders to the right and for black I slide both
to the left. The other freebie is one of my favorites..I call them Rag stars..these
have stitching going around the shape of it, the stitches (not the stars) are in
7 different colors. You will see 2 "blue", one is a denim..so..I hope you like these
as much as I do!

I am posting 2 freebies today..one is a little different take
on my Suede flowers..this time they have a hem around the edge.
(wait til you see the detailing!)
Alot of people liked my suede kit so I thought I would post these
for them as an "add-on" and for those who dont have the suede
kit..I guess this could be a "teaser" of sorts..lol The suede kit is
still available, just hit the archives on the side there...
all my freebies are still available. So if you didnt already get them..
be my guest..all my beads are still there..which go nicely with that
suede kit. So go have a feast!

Freebies..Scrolls

hey gang...

I some of these awhile ago and I wasnt sure how I was
going to finish them off..they have been sitting in a folder
doing nothing but taking up space..so I had a few more..
well, I added 35 more to the folder..and I figured they
could be used for framing, corners or whatever your
artistice mood takes you. I guess once I started to try
different patterns out, I got carried away..lol

The preview says "40 Scrolls"..but I there are 43 in there.
I was having a hard time deciding which ones to take out
to make the even amount..so after driving myself nuts, I
decided to just leave them. Not that theres a big deal over
3, but I didnt want you all to think I didnt know how to
count...lol As just about always..they are all assorted
colored patterns, I am sure you will find at least one in
there that you will use..I hope you like these..I do intend
on making the scrolls in different shapes/designs, I kind
of liked this particular design because of the different ways
it can be used. Some designs just dont have it like that.
here's the preview:




Get them.......HERE

See you all later with even more freebies!

have a great day!
