In the Kitchen Border

Hi!
I started it out with the shape of the kitchen utensils. Then added 'In the Kitchen' using font Ransom Note. Then I merged both layers (Ctrl + E).
But I didn't like it all so black, so I applied a stroke style to the whole thing, with a size 10 stroke, and then turned it green. It looks better, and you can use it on top of a whole page, if you want to. :o)
This freebie is about 6x11", .png file, 300 dpi, no shadows. And you can use any other style you have available. You get both: original and enhanced.
Enjoy!
Patricia.

At the Beach Border

I was going to do the phrase with the pictures carved out like I've done before, then I decided to use clip art and make it more interesting. This was designed as a border, but you can use it in different ways (t-shirt comes to mind).
I used fonts Rockwell Extra bold, Flavors and Scrap Cursive.
With 'Beach' I used a picture and masked it over the letters (Control + G). With 'At' I used a pattern (sand) over the letters. I carved 'the' in Scrap Cursive out of the letter B.

I hope this freebie is useful to you for a fun layout, it's 300 dpi, .png file, and has some shadows.
Enjoy!
Patricia.
PS: At the last minute I made a change. I had 'Beach' all look the same and had the surfboards behind the 'B.' But I didn't like it, so I erased the original H and put the surfboards there and crossed them with the shape of a lizard, then I just applied a style on the lizard, and voila! done. I hope you like it. :o)

Birdcages + Bird

Hi! I thought that it would be useful for you to have these two cages, and the bird. So here we go.
I only used a couple of shapes I have, nothing fancy, then added two different styles. The bird I left black.
These are PU freebies, 300 dpi, .png files, some shadows.
Enjoy!

Gotcha! day

For those of you who have been through an adoption, a Gotcha! day is the day where you finalize the adoption process. Since we as a family went through such a day some years ago, I wanted to do something to share with anyone else that has gone or is going through it right now.
I used Ravie font, replaced the center of the 'o' with a heart and the hole in the 'a' with a kids' head, a shape from Photoshop. Each one has a similar style, colored in blue and pink.
This PU freebie is about 2x12", .png file, 300 dpi, some shadows.
Suggestion: use the 'o' with the heart as a little frame for your bundle of joy. This was designed as a border.
Enjoy!
Patricia.
