Alpha Freebie.

Hiya Gang,

I have a simple and plain white
alpha today, yeah, the cold weather
seems to have effected my artwork (LOL)
This alpha will look good and stand out on
just about any paper background. You can
select around either the inside of the white
and fill it with a color, or just select the alpha
and fill it that way.
If you are not certain how to do this, then
here's what you do:

1)..Open alpha and using your magic wand
start clicking around either upper or lower
case (as if you are making a circle around it)
when you are just about close to finishing your
circle, double click the magic wand and it will
finish the circle for and your letter will be selected.

2)..with your letter selected, copy and paste it onto
your LO/Tag etc. If staisfied, close the original
alpha image, it will ask if you want to save any
changes before closing, so click "NO", this way you'll
have your plain white alpha for another project.

3)..Do that with each letter that you want to use for
your LO. Once you've gotten what you want on your LO,
Hide all your layers including your background EXCEPT
the layers containg the alphas. And Merge Visible.
Once you do that you will have whatever word you
put together on one layer (OK?)

4)..Make sure you're on the alpha layer and using your
magic wand click on the inside of the shape of each letter.
EX: if there's an "O" you're going to click in the inner
part of the "O", not on the letter itself. Once you
do that with all the letters that have those "closed"
areas, you then click anywhere on the blank background
you will see the marching ants surrounding your letters,

5)..Go up to the menu area and click on the Select/Selections
and click on either Inverse or Invert. You should now have
all your letters selected. If you see only the letter selected and
not the inner part selected then just undo your last action and
click on the part that wasnt clicked on and then do the Invert/
Inverse thing again and it all should be selected.

6)..Using your bucket fill with a color/gradient/pattern. Or...
use one of your plugins.

7)..Deselect, and unhide your layers and continue making
your wonderful LO..!!!

I hope I explained it OK for the ones who dont really
know how to do the "selection" thing.
If you should have a problem, then please email or post
what effect/color etc and I will do it for you..ok?

Ok..here is a preview of what it looks like:

Crochet kit freebie

Hiya gang,

Here is the re-posting of the Crochet kit I made
awhile back. I have been seeing quite a few people
looking thru the archives for it, and I didnt realize
that I had it at my Divshare acct, and after a certain
amount of time if the file hasnt been downloaded, it
gets deleted. I got accustomed to 4shared and totally
forgot that I had put a few of my kits on other file
hosting sites. I just put it in the Jan. 2009 folder over
at 4shared. This is for those who didnt see it or get
back when it was first posted..in fact it was posted
October of 2007, so if you didnt get or see it then,
you can get it now

Here is a preview pic:


(this is the link to the folder I put it in)
Get it .........................................HERE

Think I should make an alpha for this? Tell me
what you think and perhaps if you have a certain
font in mind..ok?
Any and all input is most definately appreciated
and welcomed!

Thank you all!

new year finds you all doing well! I saw quite a few of
your blogs and it is so nice to see those pics of kids and
family and all the new family additions as well!
I was also pleasantly surprised and pleased when I saw
several blogs not only utilizing my freebies on their
pages and LO's but listing my blog as a nice place for
freebies too! Thank you all..it made me feel so good!
I promise this..all of you who have listed my blog and
using my scraps for webpages, tags etc..will get a real
nice present from me!
I have put the alpha, wordart, frames and ornaments
into one zip file, but I have 3 seperate preview pics
