Leaps-n-Bounds Elements

Hello all...it is 12:01am and technically it is tomorrow (or is that today?) so I guess I can post my elements to this kit. I hope you enjoy them. Like I said, a lot of them will work well for other things so please download and see what you can use.

I loved making this kit. I'm getting quicker at making things (found out some useful tricks) so I should be able to step it up once this move is over and done with. Until then I'm afraid I'll be hit or miss. Sorry.

Here are the elements.

You can download them HERE. I just added them to the paper folder that way you could download everything at once. :)

Leaps-n-Bounds kit

NEW KIT!

I was going to sit on this one for a while but decided to share with you all. I was inspired into doing this kit after I saw pictures in my niece in her first gymnastics classes. I thought, "hey, not too many of these kits out there". I know it excludes a lot of you but I just had to do it. The papers can be used for anything really. Especially the stars ones. You could use those for the 4th of July. And the elements, while they are geared toward gymnastics, there is a sheet that could be used for anything. So, check back to see if the elements are something you'd be interested in.

Here are the papers for now. And as always...please leave some love. xo

You can download the papers HERE.

FINAL part to Babys First Year kit

Whew! It took me a while to get all these out and I thank all of you that have come back every day looking for each part. I'm not so sure I'll do this again, meaning I'll probably go back to the old way of doing it....papers one day...elements the next. LOL. It just took too long this time. (I'm sure you'll all agree.)


This weekend was busy. Mike got home on Friday night and then his employees here threw him a little going away party that night. It was fun and we got a lot of nice gifts. Then on Saturday it was a family day. Well, I took off for a couple hours because I had some things to do WITHOUT two children in tow. But the rest of the day was family day. Our Buckeyes finally lost so there is no hope at a National Championship game again this year. Boohoo. Oh well. Today (Sunday) we met with our second realtor and have now got to make a decision with who we'll list with. Then this week I have appraisers coming (hopefully) and then the kids and I can move out to Michigan to join up with Mike finally. We'll see. It all depends on how quickly we can get appraisers out here. With Thanksgiving next week (CAN IT BE?), things are up in the air. I just want to get out there already! That way we can start looking for houses more seriously. It's so hard to do online. You absolutely have to be there to see them. But, I will say things are going smoothly so far so I hope it continues.



Well, here is the final part of the kit. I hope you've enjoyed it. Not sure what my next kit will be but I'm open to suggestions. Anything you guys have had a hard time finding?



Have a great week.

OOPS! New link to Tags!

Sorry ladies. Some of you let me know that my tags were still in PSP format instead of PNG. Thank you. Guess I forgot to switch it. Here is the new link. For the 60 of you that downloaded it already, if you need the PNG link...here it is... HERE. I have also fixed the link below.

Part 5 of Baby's First Year

Okay, so there are actually 2 downloads here. One is a set of 8 tags with cute sayings and the other is more elements. I have 1 more element sheet for you tomorrow (with a ribbon wrapped frame and some ribbon and buttons) and I think that'll be complete. (We'll see...;)) Sorry this has been dragging on. I was still working on the kit when I started to post and then I just couldn't stop myself. LOL. I still want to do some things with it but I'll probably just provide an add-on later this month for it. So be sure to keep a look out for that.


Here are the previews. I hope you're enjoying this kit. xoxo It sure has been fun to make!








And here are the word tags...Not all of them are shown.

You can download the RicRac and Bows HERE and the Tags HERE.

Killer headache....Plus Part 4 of Baby's First Year

Okay, so I have a killer headache today. No real post from me but I will leave you with part 4 of the kit. I will have 3 more pages to go but I'll probably give you 2 more tomorrow with the last on Thursday.

Today is the alpha/numbers/characters. Tomorrow will be 2 pages of CUTE CUTE CUTE tags and the last day will be the last of the elements.

Here is the alpha preview:

New Kit! Baby's First Year

Okay, so I do like to scap kid things. :) Probably because that is my life right now...my two precious children. :) So, here are the papers to my newest kit. I have a TON of elements to follow. I couldn't stop myself once I got started. Today will just be the papers though.

Our move is creeping along. I don't have to do much (except keep the house clean and look for new homes online) so that's good. We're waiting for the relocation company to contact us and then the ball will start rolling. I'm hoping to be in MI by Dec 1st (in a furnished apartment) and into a new house by the first of the year. We'll see.

Oh, other big news...Sasha popped her 5th tooth and #6 is gonna pop in the next day or so. Also, she started crawling Oct. 31 (her 9 month birthday) and she's now pulling to standing some of the time. And her little feet are starting to pick up and put back down so I know I'm in a world of hurt in the next month or so. Just in time for the chaos that will go with moving. LOL. Such is life.

Anyway, here is the freebie. Remember to check back daily to get the other parts. There will be about 5 parts so don't miss any of them.

Complete Stick People Love Kit!

Okay, so I decided to put the entire kit up at one time instead of making you guys come back for the elements tomorrow. ;) I really like this kit. There is just something about stick people that makes me smile. There were a ton of elements that I wanted to do but only did about 75% of them. I found that when I started I kind of went off half-a$$ed about the whole thing and my mind was racing. I couldn't focus because I had so many ideas. It drove me nuts. So, I am now getting organized with my thoughts. I have a new notebook for kit ideas (colors, themes etc) and a folder for all the things I come across that inspires me. Also, if I see something in someone elses kit it always sparks my creativity so I have a special section for element ideas. And I'm trying hard not to put all my ideas into each kit because that would take the wind out of my sails very quickly. I have to feel like I have something new to contribute to each kit. Of course the standards will always be there (pic frames, swirls etc) but I want to do something new (to me) each kit. This time around was the stick pins. My first go at them and I think they came out cute.

Anyway, I hope you like it. Please leave some lovin' if you snag my freebie! Thanks! (Oh, the files are big so in the future I'll try to break them up into smaller ones if they're this big. Sorry!)

Here are the Elements (not all shown):

Baby Bundle Elements are here!

Here you are. The elements I promised you last night. I hope you enjoy them. I'm working on a couple new kit ideas today. I won't get started really until this weekend is over. But look for a new kit next week. I will also have a couple new QP's for you this week, so please keep checking back.

Toodles!

Baby Bundle Papers

Well, here are the Baby Bundle papers. I hope you like them. I had a blast making them. I used overlays and brushes. I'm just getting used to using brushes (even made the ones you see on the papers!). There are so many things they are good for! The elements I have created for this kit will be coming up tomorrow. I must say, I love them. Some cute, unique things in there I think. I don't know. What I think is cute and unique may be ho-hum to some of you. I guess I'm still giddy that I am actually creating my own kits now. I tell ya, from where I was 6 months ago to where I am now...it's amazing. I wish I had more time to devote to this. Maybe someday when I'm quicker, I will. But for now, it's may spare time hobby. I love to share all I've done with you guys so you'll get my best work and my worst work. So, just throw out what you don't want to use. And if you like my stuff, keep coming back! Oh, and tell others!

On that note....here are the papers!

Summer Fades to Fall Elements

Hello all! I finally got the elements done. My ribbons are MUCH better now! I've been learning so many things these last few weeks. I hope you can tell this kit is better than the last. I'm hoping each kit gets better and better. Oh, and I included an alpha in this one! YEA!!!!

Let's see...nothing much going on here. We're heading back to Ohio (Toledo) on Friday for the weekend. Mike has a annual family golf tournament to play in on Saturday. So, we're heading home from Friday until Monday. Should be a good time. I love my IL's dearly so it's always so nice to see them. Lucas really loves them as well.

Well, I know I had a lot of things to talk about today but at the moment they are slipping my mind. Oh, I had a impromptu (sp?) yard sale this weekend. I got rid of all of the BIG baby things....swing, bouncer, high chair etc. As well as some clothing. Mike said I could use whatever I made on the yardsale for digiscrap stuff. I'm so excited. I'm going to go now and see what my little heart wants to purchase. I've only got $80 to spend but that's not too bad for 2 hours worth of a yard sale! :) Plus my basement and kitchen are a lot less cluttered.

Here are the elements. I hope you enjoy them.

You can download them HERE. Don't forget to leave some lovin'! I LOVE reading the comments. Keeps me going on to the next kit! (Which I already have an idea in mind.)

FINALLY! Summer Fades to Fall papers!

Okay, so I've had the papers done for some time now. STill working on the elements which should be up in the next day or two. I get sidetracked when I'm on the internet. I go to do something for the kit and then find a whole new list of PSP tutorials that I love! Then I start reading and exploring, reading and exploring...etc. By the time I'm exhausted I've only created one element and have learned 10 new things! LOL! I guess it'll make the process a little easier down the line though. I love to learn new things.

Anyway, here are the papers I have for you. I created so many because I was having so much fun. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you like about them so I can make a mental note.

Bright n Cheery Elements are here!

YEA! I got the elements done! COOL! I hope you all enjoy them. I still have to figure out how to do ribbons well. The one I did isn't that great. I do like the frames though and the doodles. Working on buttons too. Gotta find some good tuts or scripts or something to help me out with ribbons, bows and buttons.

Anyway, here is the preview. If you enjoy, please let me know.

Drum Roll Please.........

Well, I did it. I finished my first kit. I have to say I am addicted now. This, of course, will be pretty rough so don't critique TOO harshly, okay? LOL. I know I have to have more focus on what elements I offer and in which colors/patterns. This first kit was more trial and error on how to create things. I don't think it's TOO bad for a first try. What do you guys think? Anyway, I am posting the papers tonight. The paper preview took me FOREVER. I have got to come up with a better way to showcase what's in the kit. I guess I just don't know how to do it really. I just cut and pasted parts of each paper, lined them up by hand, added a drop shadow and flattened. Is there a better way? For the experienced kit makers, how do you do your previews? Ugh.

Anyway, on to the freebie. I am proud to announce it's MY OWN design and it's called "Bright n Cheery". I hope you enjoy it. If you make something with it, PLEASE send me a pic. I'll get such a kick out of someone using something I designed.



Tonight I am just posting the papers as I haven't done a preview for the elements yet. I'll do that tomorrow and post.
