October Blog Train - Free Kit!

I have a sweet little mini kit for you today that is part of a MASSIVE blog train which means that you can get about 100 other co-ordinating kits, alphas, templates (etc) by following the train of blogs! If you have not reaped the rewards of a blog train before, it is really simple and you will be amazed by the result! All you need to do is grab your freebie from the current blog then follow the link to the next blog. If you get lost or start part way through the train or someone hasn't posted their contribution yet, you can head back to the starting point at the Blog Train Blog which can be found HERE.

This month, the blog train was a colour scheme with a free choice of theme. To me the colors were screaming for a Coffee lover's kit.. although it may be because I recently discovered a rather tasty vanilla flavored instant coffee and I am now a little obsessed with it lol (mmm... it tastes like a caramel macchiato... *drool*). In any case, I still think it is cute and I hope you enjoy my "Coffee Break" kit :)

Whilst you download that, I'm off to grab a coffee :)

Design Factor Wk 6 - Free Mini Kit!

I am back once again with another freebie kit for you! This freebie is the kit I created as the final challenge (Challenge #6) of the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect.

This week our task was to basically combine the lessons learned from each of the previous challenges to create our kit. We had to create two papers with doodles on them that we had drawn ourselves, include a tag, frame, bow, fastener & 3 layered elements, as well as at least one of the "Design Factor" colors (an off white sort of color or an almost charcoal colour). Apart from that, we had to include a food theme to the kit and ensure that at least 25% of the kit was made up of food-related items. I initially started on a Strawberry kit (because my daughter LOVES strawberries!) but soon realized that it was going to look a LOT like my ladybug kit from a few weeks ago :) So, I moved on to a Watermelon kit instead.


Download HERE

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using this kit to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love, and also be sure to check out the other 55 or so kits from challenge #6 HERE. Links are available for 2 weeks.

Enjoy!

Design Factor Wk 5 - Free Element Pack!

I am back once again with another freebie for you! As with the past 4 freebies, this freebie was created for the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect. This week's freebie is a little different to the past 4 weeks though, as it is an Element Pack rather than a mini kit.

It's hard to believe that we are already up to Challenge #5 and that next week will be the final challenge! I really didn't expect to continue past about challenge 2 or 3 since things have been rather hectic around here, but it has been so much fun and so I'm glad that I have continued with it! The prizes are pretty neat too :)

This week our task was to create an element pack that focused on the skills of recoloring using one of three palettes that are difficult to recolor well. Although this in itself would be a decent challenge, the hardest part for me was that we were also not allowed to use anything that we created ourselves (no doodles, shapes, textures, extracted items etc) and we were also not allowed to add any styling or use any actions on the elements! Ugh! We also had to ensure that at least half of our Element pack was based on CU items by a particular store so all in all it was a rather tricky challenge so I am pleased with the end result (and glad it is over lol).


Download HERE

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using this kit to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love, and also be sure to check out the other 50 or so element packs from challenge #5 (where about a third will co-ordinate with this pack) HERE.

Enjoy!

Design Factor Wk 4 - Free Mini Kit!

I am back once again with another freebie kit for you! As with the last 3 kits, this is the kit I created for Challenge #4 of the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect.

This week our task was to create some sort of shape (or object) that had to be included in all of our patterned papers and all of our elements, as well as be included in an a-z alpha. We were allowed to use up to 4 CU items but I managed to go with just 3 :) This week I created a ladybug as my shape and I really enjoyed putting together this mini. I am soooo pleased with my color selection and really love the end result! I will DEFINITELY be extending this into a full sized kit.

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using this kit to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love, and also be sure to check out the other 70 or so kits from challenge #4 HERE.

Enjoy!

Design Factor Wk 3 - Free Mini Kit!

I am back once again with another freebie kit for you! As with the last 2 kits, this is the kit I created for Challenge #3 of the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect.

This week our task was to work with a neutral monochromatic color scheme for the papers then add a touch of one or two bright colors to the elements. We were allowed to use up to 5 CU items in the kit. This week I tried to go with a non-themed kit because I very rarely make kits like that so I kinda struggled because of my own restriction rather than the challenge itself :) All the same, I'm rather pleased with the end result and I hope you enjoy it too!

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using this kit to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love, and also be sure to check out the other 70 or so kits from challenge #3 HERE.

Design Factor Wk 2 - Free Mini Kit!

As always, please excuse my neglected blog layout :)

I am back again to give you another freebie kit as the kit I created for Challenge #2 of the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect.

This week our task was to focus on our patterned papers where we had to hand-draw (or machine-draw) things to create at least 6 patterned papers. Once again, we weren't allowed to use any CU products, with the exception of textures for the papers or elements and also CU fonts were okay for elements only. After spending WAY too long finalizing my theme and colour scheme (as well as my objects), I finally came up with this sweet little kit.

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using this kit to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love, and also be sure to check out the other 70+ kits from challenge #2 HERE.

Design Factor Wk 1 - Free Mini Kit!

My poor little blog is looking a little neglected in his Christmas gear... in a few days time I could pretend it was on purpose for a "Christmas in July" special lol.

Anyway, ignoring the state of my blog, I have a fun mini kit freebie for you today! I am taking part in the Design Factor design challenge over at Digi Scrap Connect along with about 90 other designers! Each week, all participants will be creating a mini kit based on the challenge theme/scheme/details and each week you can grab them all for free! They will only be available for free for a limited time so be sure to grab them whilst you can!

This week was the first week and our task was to create a mini based on a Summer theme without using any Commercial Use products (with some minor exceptions) and focus on some layered elements. I decided to go with a Popsicle theme. I love the bright colors and I had some ideas for fun elements so that's what I went with :) Here is what I came up with. I didn't use any CU products that I hadn't created myself except for a distressed edge action by Atomic Cupcake to give the torn out look to the edges of the paper elements.


Download HERE

Once I started, I fell in love with the theme and color scheme so I will be releasing a co-ordinating kit in the near future, so if you like the look of this mini, keep an eye out for my new kit :)

If you instead like the look of the popsicle elements, I have a CU pack of Popsicle templates (with the doodled layer as well) available in my store for just $3. (Tip - there is a coupon included in the mini kit download that will give you a generous discount on any of my products).


You can find the CU Popsicle Templates in my store HERE

Be sure to upload any layouts that you create using the mini to the Scrapping Fairytales gallery so I can leave you some love.

Farewell Sale... and WIN MY ENTIRE STORE!!!

Well... the time has come to take off my apron and baker's hat, and say farewell to designing at Brownie Scraps. I’ve recently been given an opportunity to get back into a little bit of IT work through the creation of a website followed by taking on the site admin role (similar to Eileen’s role at Brownie Scraps). I was hoping that I could do this whilst still working and playing at Brownie Scraps, but unfortunately there are just not enough hours in the day for me to do a decent job of both (as well as take care of my 'real life' too). So I have made a very tough decision and decided to leave Brownie Scraps.

My last day with Brownie Scraps will be Feb 28 and to thank you all for being such wonderful customers and friends, I am having a HUGE farewell sale! All products in my store are on sale for 50-70% off from now until my store closes on Feb 28.


My store can be found HERE.
If you are only interested in CU products, they can be found HERE.
If you are only interested in PU/S4H kits, they can be found HERE.
It's worth mentioning that the collabs between Sara (Scrap Sprinkles Designs) and I are also on sale and can be found HERE.

To assist in the celebration/commiseration, I am also holding a draw for one lucky person to...

WIN MY ENTIRE STORE!!!!

For a chance to win my store, all you need to do is subscribe to my newsletter (HERE). The winner will be drawn from all new and existing newsletter subscribers on February 22. The winner will then have 6 days to claim their prize before my store closes on February 28.

At this stage, I do intend to get back into designing at some point in the future, but it is still uncertain when this will be, how often I will be releasing new products and whether I will be focusing on mainly CU products (like my Pattern Maker actions) and collab kits such as the "Beary" collabs. In any case, if you subscribe to my newsletter, you will not only be in with a chance to win my entire store, but you will also be informed of my plans.

Thank you all so much for your support and friendship over the past few years and I look forward to telling you all about my plans and sharing my fun new website with you.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. -- Dr Seuss

Winterpalooza Starts Today

Wow! February already?!?!?! My beautiful "baby girl" turns 3 on Friday and starts Kindergarten next week! Where did the time go???? Well, may as well enjoy the moment while it lasts... so... sounds like the perfect time to head over to Brownie Scraps and check out what is going on for the Winterpalooza event!



The general gist of Winterpalooza is that you have the opportunity to take part in a variety of fun little events (including scrapping an non-scrapping events) and as you complete each event, you will receive a "stamp". Once you have collected 8 different stamps, you can trade them in for this fabulous collaboration kit.



I am hosting the Scavenger Hunt and you can find out all about it HERE in the Brownie Scraps forum. For full event details, check out this area of the forum.

Apart from that, this month I am also hosting the Brownie Indulgence challenge. For this challenge, you can grab my new mini kit for free and then you need to create a layout using every single item in the mini. You can use the papers or elements multiple times as long as all of them are used at least once. The mini that you get for free is called "Love to Love You" and is shown below. For details of how to get this kit for free, check out this thread.



Finally, if you are currently taking part in the Blog Hunt for Winterpalooza, your next clue is "What's left but the Scrappy baker?". For more information about the Blog Hunt and all of the other fun and games for Winterpalooza, check out this area of the forum.

Enjoy!
