a new Freebie!!

Yes, I know, it has been ages since I offered a new freebie, but ..... finally here it is. Not sure why it has taken me so long to get one organised but time just seems to slip away really quickly of late and here we are at the beginning of October already.

Last post saw me ranting about the Loan that was taking forever to be approved. Well, we went ahead and purchased a car weeks before it finally came through (a 2001 Ford Falcon Wagon has joined the family), so then, when we were finally approved, we had to think of something else we needed... or, as it turned out, wanted!

We are now the happy owners of an iPad, which is really cool, and a 5000gal rainwater tank which is also really cool (lol) and very necessary.

I have just spent the weekend with my gorgeous grandson, Lachlan, who is as cheeky as ever and driving his parents nuts. Revenge is sweet lol

but.... this meant I could also spend some time catching up on my challenges for the month. I only tackled three and they took me a while to get through.

Firstly the Card Challenge at Paperthreads. I used Shelly's CardBase as provided and created this card digitally in PSCS6 using her SS00178 - Wedding Bliss kit as well. Appropriate as my eldest daughter and  SIL just celebrated their 7th Wedding Anniversary. Come check out the Challenge for October...

 Next I took part in the Card/Layout Challenge at Visual Designs By Chris. Ileana had supplied a template that could be used for a card or a layout, I chose a card. I also used Chris's CD00423- Trees. These are personal cutter files but I used them digitally in PSCS6 and applied styles and textures to add dimension to the various elements of my card. Another Challenge for October ...

The next layout was created using a mini kit I designed for the Colour Challenge at SkrapHappens. Tina has the most gorgeous baby girl, a photo of whom she used to create a colour palette. I used the colours given to create a kit and then scrapped this gorgeous pic of her baby.

Isn't she a cutie!

Here is the kit I created and you'll find the links below the preview. I have been out of this for so long, i just discovered, after the upload was done of course, that you have to be a member of 4Shared to download from them .... is this right ? Anyhow, just in case you have issues with 4Shared, I also uploaded to Box.

4Shared links. Password if required is "starbaby" without the formatting.

New freebie

I have a new Card Template freebie for you. Ileana (I Scrap Designs) has started a new Challenge at Visual Designs By Chris (VDBC) using my Card Template 33. So... don't just download the template, come over to VDBC and join us for a fun Challenge and maybe earn a prize :) I have used CD00873 - "Key To" on my card by Chris Durnan.

It was suggested that the Template could also be used to create a Layout and so that is what I did .....

Using Jan's Banner file JB00447 , I created a Happy Birthday banner to finish off my layout of our gorgeous grandson Lachlan on his first birthday! (digi kit is "Boy's Stuff and is mine) . I added styles and textures to Jan's banner files to add dimension.

Card Template is available HERE in MTC, KNK, PSD, PNG, SVG, AI and DXF format. Please leave a comment if you download, it only takes a minute of your time and encourages me to create more freebies!


Paperthreads also has a couple of new Challenges going on this month.. A new Challenge is the Colour Challenge hosted by Michelle. This Challenge gives you a colour palette and then you have to create a project using a cutter file from a Paperthreads Designer and the colours supplied. I created a digital scrapbook kit for the challenge and then used Michelle's Swirly Flower tag on my layout. I would love to share my digi kit, but unfortunately I cannot get it to upload. I have tried 4Shared, Mediafire and Box. I even signed up for FileDropper and still no luck. So ...... you may have to wait a little longer for that file. In the meantime, here is my layout created using the kit.

Even though the subjects are boys, the kit colours went really well with what the boys were wearing so I went with it. The title is written on Michelle's file which is not included in my kit. I had added styles and textures to the cutter files to add dimension.

Here is a preview of "Candied", my newest kit.

The other challenge is a Card Challenge hosted by Shelly. This is using my Card Template 32, available below (scroll down for link) and as I had already created a card, I decided to create a Layout with this template as well. Here is the result. I have used Shelly's Spring Splendor - SS00085 and Carrie's CS00048 - Ballons for this layout. I have added styles and textures to the cutter files to add dimension. Once again layout created in PSCS5.

This is a photo of Lachlan enjoying a "Cake Smash" with what was left of his birthday cake. After he had finished playing and stuffing his face, he just upt and crawled off to the bath.... so cute!

Thanks for looking, don't forget to download Card Template 33.

Have a wonderful day wherever you are!
