I give you a crayon template today as a freebie. You can colour it any color you want. All you do is click Ctrl + U, click Colorize and then move the Hue, Saturation and Lightnes levers left or right until you find the color you like.

So, you get the template (in grey) and three samples I created. The file is about 2x2", 300 dpi, and no shadows.
The link will take you to a place called Minus and you'll be asked to create an account in order to see this file. Have fun!

Cow Frame, Wrap & Bow

Today I have a cool freebie.
I used Rosalie Arpado's Wrap and Bow action and used a paper with a cowhide design that I really like.
Here's the frame and wrap.

DOWNLOAD

I also made an alphabet with the same design. The alphabet is for sale at $1.50.
If you'd like to purchase the alphabet, please click down below.

This alphabet has Upper, Lower, Numbers and Symbols. I used Kristen font . 300 dpi. No shadows. 90 elements. Looks cool, huh?
The link will take you to the Paypal site. After purchase, click on the 'Go Back to LuvDigiScraps' and you'll be redirected to another area where you'll be able to download the alphabet. Remember this is a DIGITAL download. Once the file opens you should save it in a folder in your computer.
Ask me any questions. Thanks!

Pencil Sharpener Template

Since I think we can still go on doing back to school items, I present to you a pencil sharpener template.
With this, you'll be able to change the color to any theme you're scrapping. All you have to do is C+U and you'll get the palette and change the color.
Since you're getting a .psd file that's been zipped, first unzip the file. You'll find there are two layers in the file: plastic and blade. The blade remains silver/chrome color, and you just color the plastic portion. However, if you want to change the blade's color, that's totally up to you. :o)

Have fun scrapping!

Clouds

Hi. I fell in love with clouds as a child, I believe.
As an adult, I'm always taking pictures of clouds and the beautiful azure sky. Even my wedding colors reflected these colors. I see purity and maybe the unattainable there. I don't know, just like them.
Recently my hubs and I took a trip to Las Vegas for our 25th wedding anniversary (I know, crazy!) and I took more pictures to add to my collection.
I made some 12x12 papers of clouds and I'm releasing them to you. One is a full paper, the other is an overlay. As always, they are for Personal Use only, and thanks for not using them for your profit.

DOWNLOAD

As usual, the file contains items at 300 dpi. This time I'm zipping it, but you get a .psd file with two items.
Enjoy and keep scrapping!

School Stickers I

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:

 

 



 DOWNLOAD Backpack 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!
Patricia.

Four Frames and Samples

Today I'm giving away four different frames that you can apply styles to. I'm also giving away as freebies a sample of each one with a style already applied to it.

DOWNLOAD Samples

To get the templates, please go:

 DOWNLOAD Templates

Have fun creating your own frames!
Patricia.
 

Buttons & Templates

I'm giving you a few template buttons, and I show you how they look when you apply styles to them.
Some of the buttons came from photos, some from a shape I cut out and then applied bevels to it, and then the style.

DOWNLOAD

I'm also giving you the thread to cover the holes, if you want to do that. You'll just have to colorize the thread with whatever color you want.
Another thing you can do is mask a paper on the button, like I did with two of the stars. If you do that you have to play in the layer window and see if you want to use 'overlay' or something else. It's all about trial and error, sometimes.
Have fun!

8 Brads and a Template

Today's freebie is actually a bunch. I had the template from http://starsunflowerstudio.blogspot.com/. It was a grab file for commercial use. I've modified the template to make it easier for someone that has Elements to use.
To use the template, put the image under the clear round frame, then with your eraser tool take out what you don't want to see, then save as a .png.

DOWNLOAD

The download link will take you to Minus.com, where you can download the file for free, at its original size. If I leave it here you won't get a 300 dpi like it should be. They're 1.25" across.
I hope you can make your own brad with this template (center). Enjoy!
Patricia.
 

#1 Mom Tag

I thought I might do something with a round tag. I had this round one and decided to give it a texture, so I used a linen paper I got from the now gone Atomic Cupcake, and masked it over the tag (Ctrl + G). Then I colorized it (Ctrl + U). I added a folded ribbon I had and colorized it the same way.
I'm giving you the template for that particular tag plus ribbon, so you can make your own.
Again, you can just add letters, or a picture, or clip art, or decorate it with anythink you already have (buttons, flowers, pearls). The sky's the limit.
I used Ultra font, and gave the letters a foil style effect.

Enjoy!

Watermelon Tag

Here's something that just came together by itself. I wanted to give out a tag, I just didn't know what it would look like. I was going through my styles and decided to use this one I'd made at the beginning of summer.
So, you get a sample and the tag with the ribbon. I used Trinigan font in the sample, but you can add different things to it: a saying, clip art, whatever your heart desires.

DOWNLOAD

I hope you like using this freebie. As always, it's only for personal use. Thanks!
Patricia.

Bottle Caps

I'm sure you've had plenty of these at home:

And maybe you've been inspired to make something like this:

I know. At this point you're saying: "Hey, are you turning this site into a crafting place?"
I'll say 'No, my friend.' What I'm trying to do is show you how to turn this:

Into these:

Cool, no?
The top left I made by just masking a flower picture on the template cap I made.
I got the cap by painstakingly turning the bottle and pulling on it until it came off. I didn't want to ruin the cap. Crazy, I know.
After masking the picture, I went to the layer palette and changed it to hard light, that brought up the colors of the flower. Opacity: 80%
The second one, I pushed Control + U and colourized the cap to a nice chartreuse, then added letters and symbols with my Type tool. I used Ravie and Scrap Cursive fonts. After that, it was easy to use styles on them.
The third one was a clip art I had so I masked it on the template. I changed the layer to an overlay, and 75% opacity, because it was hard to see the cap.
The last one is a jpg picture that I masked like the clip art. Hard light, 75%.
Above you can follow the link and find the template, if you choose to make some of your own. It's about 6" square, 300 dpi. If you do, send me pics and I'll post them here.
Good luck!
Patricia.

Summer is Here

It seems that summer is going to reign forever. But it's going out soon, even if the signs are not there yet.
I made these two signs using Flavors font, which is good for commercial use. I try to find fonts that are good looking and are not some you'll find in just anyone's computer.
I added a water style and this is done.
The flower I got from a shape collection.

I hope you're enjoying your summer!
