Pool Time!

This one I just love!
I've spent some time creating this cool, gorgeous alpha. I'm almost there. Here's the way it looks with the style applied to it.
This is about 4x8", 300 dpi, .png file, some shadows.
Enjoy!

Sun Kissed

I'm sure you're loving these wonderful summer times, unless you're at the other side of the world, where's winter. This phrase should warm up your spirits. :)
I used fonts Ace Crickey and Alex Brush. With SUN I just used a common shape that comes with Photoshop and took some out of it, so you can see the sun rays, then applied a yellow-orange style. To the word 'kissed' I only added the water style I'm working on. Still not sure I like it enough to have it out; I might still tweak it a bit. And that's it.
This freebie is a .png file, 300 dpi, some shadows.
Have fun!

Beach QP

Hello! I hope you had a great Father's day weekend.
Today's freebie reminds me of summer: sand, umbrella, chair, water, waves, sunglasses.
The background is close to a 12x12" page, just slightly smaller, so you can fit another paper under it, or just color the background with a gradient or one color 'paper.' I have a cool water style, so I applied it to the wave and frame.
Every element you see is in its own layer, except the sunglasses and frame, which are merged.
This freebie is a .psd file, 300 dpi, some shadows.
Enjoy your summer!
I'm working on a water-type alpha and I'll link it to this and other posts I've done. It will not be a freebie. :o)

BABY Phrase

I loved working on this phrase. I just used font Goudy Stout and the usual shapes that come with Photoshop.
You do the usual: type the phrase, duplicate (just to keep the original, so you know what font you used). Then rasterize the type, so you can work with it. Bring shapes individually and erase parts from the BABY phrase and parts from the shape layer.
Merge everything together, or you can keep an original in a .psd file.
I used a style that looks like glitter both in blue and pink, and that's that.
You get a .png file, 300 dpi, no shadows.
Enjoy!

Baby Stickers

Hello there! I know, I've been missing in action.
Here I have a few stickers for a baby themed layout.
This is a .psd file meaning every element is in its own layer, 300 dpi, no shadows.
I hope you can use them!

On Goodness

I found this phrase and wanted to do something with it.
I used a shape and put a glitter style on it. I typed the phrase using fonts The Only Exception and Tempus Sans ITC.
This is a .png file, 300 dpi, about 3x6", no shadows.
Enjoy!

Coolest Dad Polaroid

I hope you had a great weekend.
To prepare for Father's day coming up I worked on this polaroid frame. I just made a 6x6" white square, then took out the inside square a bit off to the right side. Then I got a cool shape: sunglasses, and positioned it on top of the white square. Then I removed from the frame what I wanted to be seen on it, the majority of the sunglasses. When I had what I wanted I clicked on both layers and did Control + E and merged the layers.
I then used font Stamp Act and wrote "Coolest Dad" vertically, and "Ever!" horizontally. Because they were not in the same layer, I merged them and then merged them to the polaroid, then I rasterized the font, or I can't do anything with it. I then used the Magic Wand to select all the letters (click on a letter, then click Select: Similar) and Control + X.
You get the two stylized polaroids I made, plus the blank original, so you can use any style you have on your computer.
You get a .psd file, 300 dpi, no shadows.
Enjoy!
Patricia.
