Year of the Horse

Well, although I've been scarce for a long while, and even though this is a bit late, I finally have a new item to share.  It's a new mouse-drawn image to add to the Chinese New Year animals.  If you're interested in snagging the previous years' animals, just click the 'Chinese New Year' label at the end of this post.

I hope some of you guys will like her and be able to find a use for her.  If you do, feel free to let me see what you create.  I'd love to see!

This image is pretty large at 1169 x 2000 pixels.  I hope it will be useable for any sort of project you might have in mind.

Also, I've uploaded the zip file to 5 different file hosts.  I hope you'll all be able to download from at least one of the sites.

Argyle Papers

I've got a new freebie to share tonight.  I hope some of you guys can put them to a creative use.  These were the result of a new tutorial I wrote & was testing to make sure I hadn't skipped any steps.  If anyone is interested in the tut, it can be found here.

This is a pack of 7 papers, available in both full size (12" x 12" at 300 ppi) and tag size (900 x 900 pixels).  Happy snagging!

Some of my recent files were removed by MediaFire - unsure why or for what reason.  Since I don't have a lot of faith in that site at the moment, I'm trying out Box.com as a secondary upload site.  I hope one or the other link will work for everyone.  Let me know if you have any problems though.  Feedback, good or bad, is always appreciated.

My Silly Valentine 2

I've got a new pack of images & word art to share this afternoon.  Last year, I drew & posted set 1, and I started on set 2.  All I got finished before Valentine's Day came and went was the bee so he's been sitting in a folder on my computer for awhile now.  I've got a set of 6 different mouse-drawn images with coordinating word art.  Surely I'm not the only one who remembers the cheesy little Valentine cards we gave out in elementary school?  I've still got a whole list of more of these to draw so we'll see if I manage to get them finished this year or if they will make their appearance for next Valentine's Day!

Contents:
- 6 mouse-drawn images (bee, cyclops, grapes, race car, sailboat, and turtle) with word art for each (all images are large, my starting canvas was 4" x 4" 300 ppi and then cropped to remove any blank space left over, so hopefully large enough for any sort of project you have in mind)
- 6 small Valentine cards suitable for personalizing for yourself or others (each is 200 x 300 pixels)

Year Of The Snake

Now, snakes are one of my least favorite things to look at, but since 2013 is the Year of the Snake, I decided to go ahead and try to make one to continue the set of animals I've done over the past few years.  If you're interested in the previous animals, just click the 'Chinese New Year' label at the bottom of this post to find the other three older ones.

I hope someone will be able to find a use for him.  If you do, please feel free to show me what you did with him.  I'd love to see!

He's pretty big at roughly 1200 x 1200 pixels (300 ppi) so I hope he'll be useable for any sort of creative project you might have in mind.

New Blog Design

New Design by The Posh Box.

I love the new design!  So pretty!  Of course, I loved the old one too though, and that's part of why I kept it the same for as long as I did.  But change is always nice.  Thank you for another beautiful blog, Pamela! :)  Hope that all my visitors find it as pretty as I do!

CU OK Thumbtacks Pack

Good evening :)  I've got a little package of CU OK thumbtacks to share tonight.  A friend was looking for a white one, but I couldn't find anything like it when I looked.  So, I started with a white one and made a few more in different colors to go along with it.  Maybe someone else can find a use for these, too.

These are a commercial use OK freebie so you're welcome to use them in kits of your own if you'd like or in other for-profit uses.  Just don't take them and offer them as-is elsewhere, claiming them as your own.  Happy snagging!

Contents - 1 sheet of 30 thumbtacks (each is 117 px wide by 190 px tall, 300 ppi)

Red Winter Cardinal Image

I got a request for a red cardinal from the 'Winter Berry' blog train kit.  Since I wanted to offer him in the traditional red at some point, I hurried up and got his suit changed.  He may show up in another kit at a later date!  Enjoy! :)

Blog Train - Spooktacular

Happy October! The January Rain Blog Train took a hiatus last month, but it's back for the start of this month with lots of great freebies!  Be sure to visit all the stops on the train to snag all the wonderful bits all the ladies have contributed.

My portion is shown below.

Contents include:
- 12 papers
- 25 elements

The papers are 900 x 900 pixels, but the elements tend to be a lot larger.  Frankie is 1350 pixels tall, and the haunted house is 1226 x 1078 - so fairly big.  Hopefully they'll be useable for larger projects.

Blog Train - Under The Big Top

I honestly cannot believe it's already the first of August!  But, a new month means a new blog train is taking off this morning.  This was a fun theme for me - one of those kit ideas I've had on my to-do list for a long time but had never gotten around to doing.  I may eventually revisit the circus theme because I couldn't get everything I wanted to draw for this one to turn out the way I wanted.

Be sure to visit all the stops on the train to snag some really nice freebie kits!  And if anyone has ideas for additional bits they'd like to see in either an add-on to this kit of mine or another circus kit, feel free to contact me.  Happy August & happy snagging!

Contents:
- 10 papers (900 x 900 pixels)
- 25 elements (all from scratch and the drawn elements are quite large so they should work for full-size layouts as well as smaller projects)

Mother's Day Mini

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!  Here's a small little bit to share with you guys this evening.  I hope someone might be able to use it.  It's a cluster frame & word art.  The two are not attached.  I just had to overlap them a bit to fit them both into the preview is all.

I hope the frame is large enough to use for full-size scrappers too.  It's 4" wide x 3¼" tall.

Chevron Papers

Hello to you guys :)  Here's a new freebie to share this evening.  I keep seeing chevron patterns popping up all over the place, especially on Pinterest.  So I took a stab at writing a new tutorial on my tut blog to create a digital chevron pattern.  These papers were the result as I wrote & tested my steps for the tutorial.  It's a set of 10 papers, available in two sizes.  There's a set of full-size 12" x 12" papers at 300 ppi (or 3600 x 3600 pixels), and they are also available in tag sized of 900 x 900 pixels.  Happy snagging!  And I hope everyone has had a nice Easter weekend!
