Free Halloween Kit!

I was recently asked about making new kits and since I have some spare time on my hands with all of my lils in school, I decided to give it another go.

Unfortunately, or maybe not- depending on how you look at it, I chose a theme that I like a bit too much. I spent two full weeks playing with ideas, doodling on scrap paper, and playing in photoshop. Even my oldest child gave her input and designed the mummy head and skulls that are included in the kit :)

There are some large files in here, so I sectioned it into four parts. I may have to section it further, so please let me know if I should redo the zip files. I don't want anyone to struggle with downloading it.

Thank you for any input you have and thanks for looking!!


I hope you have a great day :)

Template Freebie!

Hello again!


I have a new freebie today! I attempted my hand at a digiscrap page template. I have never really been into the digiscrapping of designing. I enjoyed making the papers and elements, but my layouts always look so simple, so plain compared to so many others. I want to work at it though. I want to actually make something that looks as full and perfectly clustered as all of the beautiful scrap pages I see posted in digiscrap forums.

So I played around with a template idea and I liked it, so here it is ;)

I hope to keep practicing with the layouts so I may have some more templates available in the future! Wish me luck :)


Here is today's freebie! You can download it HERE

If anyone makes something with any item posted on this blog, I would love to see it please!
Thank you and I hope you are all having a good start to the weekend.

Lupus Awareness Scrapkit Freebie!

I recently heard a fellow designer asking about a freebie Lupus awareness scrapkit, so I went searching but I couldn't find one. I decided to give it a shot. It's been quite a while since I sat down and attempted a full kit, but here goes nothing.

Not all elements are featured in the preview. I have a hard time fitting all elements in there without it driving me nuts thinking it's too cluttered. Ehh, what can you do? :)

Thank you and I will be back with more soon, so feel free to let me know the types of graphics you would like to see as freebies here.

Have a great day :)

Already?!

Yes, yes, I am back already! But this time I am back with something more to give you than just some words!

Today I have a freebie digital paper pack. This one has no textures, torn edging or other unique qualities. Instead, I decided to go with simple. If along the road I realize that more people like the textured items then I will gladly do more of that.

I am starting slow and simple. I have always enjoyed venturing out though so I may release full kits or matching elements for any simple paper packs I create. Who knows where this will lead?... I just want to make pretties again :)


I hope someone can find use for these and enjoys these papers as much as I enjoyed playing with these colors and patterns!


Have a good day :)

It's About Time!

The title pretty much sums up this entire post, but I will go ahead and do some 'splaining just in case :)

I am a stay at home mother to three adorable munchkins and a wife to my high school sweetheart. After my second child was born, I stumbled across a graphic on that good ole social media site Myspace and discovered the beautiful world of graphic designing. I fell head over heels in love with the idea of being able to make pretties. So I quickly joined a forum with amazing admins that taught basic graphic designing skills and as soon as I finished those I searched online for more.

Eventually, I branched out into digital scrapbooking and started making digiscrap kits. Along the journey I created a digiscrap kit blog, opened a Livejournal graphics community and created Facebook graphics and boutique logos for small businesses. None of those ever stuck though because it was always only a small part of me and what I like. At times when life would get in the way, I would back off only to come back to designing but focusing on another type of graphic. Long story short, I finally realized that maybe, just maybe, focusing on one thing won't work for me. Maybe I should just do what I love - be a mom and wife, design, read, write and if I happen to share anything with someone then so be it. Once I came to this decision I felt so... free!

I know that sounds crazy, but I have spent so long trying to be what others wanted me to be. NOT because they made me feel that way, but because it was ingrained in me as a child to be the quiet one, the good one, the agreeable one. For years my husband has been slowly helping me open up and speak, to be me and I think I am finally there. I am ready to share my voice. I want to design when I want, read great books and share reviews... I want to share those silly motherhood moments and just be me without worrying about who is judging me, so here goes.

Wish me luck!
