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 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.

Enjoy!

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.

Designer Survivor - One Perfect Day - Kit Freebie!

Our task this week was to create a traditional "white wedding" kit that was at least 60% white and used only one other colour (in varying shades). We had to create a minimum of 8 papers (3 solids + 5 patterned) and 15 unique elements (with no more than 2 word art elements being counted) as well as an Alpha with at least uppercase or lowercase characters as well as numbers.

Although I had sooo many more things that I wanted to add to this kit, I got it finished and uploaded in time, and I am quite happy with the end result! It contains 22 elements (but only 16 are unique) and 20 papers.



Although this kit is perfect for scrapping your wedding memories, my main motivation behind the kit was for it to be used when creating the various printables associated with a wedding such as "Save the Date" cards, invitations, menus, place cards, thank you cards etc. This way, you can have a consistent theme across your entire wedding which is then also carried through onto your wedding album.

Here is a preview of the alpha:


If you like what you see, the kit is available for free download for one day only. After that it will be put in my stores (and also be a part of my 66% off sale until August 31). I will hopefully also get a chance to create an add-on (or two) to go with it but that won't be for at least a month or two (unless someone needs it desperately before then). :)

To download, head on over to the Brownie Scraps Designer Survivor Week 4 Gallery and pick up my kit along with the wedding kits from the 9 other remaining contestants.

With 1 person having immunity and 3 others being eliminated at about 3pm PST today, I have a 2 in 3 chance of remaining in the competition but feel that I am likely to be eliminated all the same. If not, I'll be back in a couple of days with another freebie and begging for votes again for the immunity challenge!

Enjoy!
