School Days Bus

Hi! I started out thinking of putting the bus as a border and making it a strong accent. Then I hit a shadow style and that's what it ended up to be. You can use it on a 8.5x11 page or a 12x12" page, it's pretty big.
I hope you like it!

1st Day of school Border

I know, I know. I've been gone a long time. Things are a bit crazy at home, just getting back to normal. If anyone can give me the definition of "normal." (chuckle)
Some places have just now gone back to school after the Labor day holiday here in the US. However, here in Utah we've been back for at least a week, regular schools, and maybe more for charter schools.
In any case, I decided to do this simple border, just to get back in the swing of designing digital stuff for the blog.
I didn't do much, mind you, just used fonts Niederwald, Poster Bodoni and Potassium Scandal. I didn't even make a sample, I just didn't like the way it looked with anything I had, so hopefully you'll have something different. Maybe mask it with a school paper you might have. I did want to add something extra, so I turned the original into a thick border, and that's the second version you see here.
This freebie is for personal use, .png file, 300 dpi, no shadows.
Hopefully you'll be able to use it.

School Stickers I

I have these cool stickers you can use for your school pages.
They're 300 dpi and they come with no shadows. I thought the notebook paper would be perfect for journaling. I'll have more next time I post.
Have fun scrapbooking!

Backpack Elements

Hi! Today is the first day of back to school for the kids in our area. So, I decided to deconstruct a backpack, so you can colorize it any way you want.
This way, you can turn it from this:
Into this:
 
All you will need are the following elements:
 
 

 
I split the original clip art into 5 different elements: the shape (you can also use it as a stamp), color 1, color 2, color 3 and zipper. The backpack clip art is common domain.
The file is a zipped .psd file, 300 dpi.
You can color each element separately (Ctrl + U) and then position them under (below) the stamp and you'll be set. When you color each element, the highlight will be colored also, just in a lighter shade.
Try it!
