Happy Mother's Day

This is a cute frame I decided to use for Mother's day that's coming up quick.
Nothing fancy, it just looks great. The whole thing is one .png file, 300 dpi, with some shadows.
I used font Dragonwick, which I really like. A lot. :)

Always, personal use only. Have fun with it!

Spring Proverb

Isn't this time of year just a pleasure? Even though I nearly killed myself working on a bed last Saturday (granted, the raspberry bushes needed it), I utterly enjoy being outside, pulling on weeds, watering, clearing beds, planting and just getting busy. I wasn't made to be cooped up in a house. :)
So, today's freebie is a gorgeous page, curled, with grass, flower and bug elements.
I added the proverb, using Angelized and Alex Brush fonts. Then I applied a style on the letters.

This is a .png file, 300 dpi, some shadows.

Have fun!

Summer QP

Hello! Today's freebie has two parts: one download is for the 12x12" size, the other one I made for the people that have 8.5x11" size pages.
In this offer, everything is in its own layer: the title (that you can customize with your own font and style), the leaves, the sky, water and sand. The polaroids are also split into two: the white frame and the black mask, that way you can 'glue' a picture on the black mask (Ctrl + G) and your page is done.

DOWNLOAD 12x12"

DOWLOAD 8.5x11"

Each one is a .psd file, 300 dpi, some shadows.
Have fun scrapping!

Jug (Pitcher) and Glass Template

Is the glass half empty of half full? I'm a glass half full kinda gal, what about you?
Today's freebie is a water pitcher and glass. This is a .psd file, where you'll find each element in its own layer: glass and two shadows, pitcher and two shadows, plus the inside of each: glass and pitcher.
As you can see in the picture, you can change the color of the inside of your glass elements, just click on the layer (glass inside or pitcher inside) and do Ctrl + U, play with the levers and find the shade of drink you'd like to have on your design.
This is a .psd file, 300 dpi, and the shadows are in their own layer.

Hope you like it!

Cupcake Template

Hello! I had this vector cupcake, so I worked on it to make it into a template. You get the cupcake in two layers: frosting and bottom, plus the "Happy Birthday" phrase and the candle (and its shadow), all in their own layers, so you can colorize and/or hide the elements you are not going to use on your layout.

This is a personal use freebie, .psd file, 300 dpi with some shadows.

5 Flowers

Today I have five gorgeous flowers that can turn a regular layout into a great work of art. Just add ribbons, leaves and swirls and you have a masterpiece.

They're all in one .png file, 300 dpi, shadows are for show only.
Go scrap!

Machado

A tribute to Spanish poet Antonio Machado. I just used a clip art I had, and typed the poem. The Spanish is in Dancing Script font and the English portion was done in Apple Butter.

This is a .jpg file, about 4x11", 300 dpi,  no shadows.
Enjoy!

Beautiful Spring Border

I had this vector clip art that was begging to be used. I didn't do too much with it, except ignore the background. I duplicated the ladybug layer, so I could give it a shadow. The phrases are done in Scrap Cursive and Plantagenet Cherokee fonts.
This is about 5x12", .png file, no shadows.

Have a great weekend!

Spring Butterflies

I loved working on this page. I had originally a 12x12" paper, greyscale that I colorized purple. I added the butterfly brush and took out the paper to the left of the butterflies. I added a yellow style to the cuties, then added the phrase 'spring,' using font Poplar. I rasterized the type, then added a pattern to the word, then a bevel. The left side of the page, under the word is clear, so you can leave it blank (it will turn white when you print it) or you can add a contrasting paper, your choice.
It's still a 12x12" page, .png file, 300 dpi, no shadows.

Use it well!

Hawaii

I really like this phrase. I started out with something else (always) and ended up with this one. I saw a similar design done with butterflies and wondered how it was done, so I went in to PS and figured it out.
You first type the phrase, duplicate it (why not?), rasterize the copy. Open another layer and do your brushes, scatter them. If you don't have PS, just do each one in individual layers until you like the way they look on the letters. Then collect all the brushes and 'glue' them together (Ctrol + E). Apply the Magic Wand tool on the brushes (make sure you got the whole image), then click on the word layer, click Ctrol + X, and that would erase the brushes image from your word. Save the whole thing as a .psd, then save it as a .png. Open the .png file and use any style you want on it.
This is about 4x12", 300 dpi, .png file, no shadows. I used font Jeepney and a style with a gradient. Cool, huh?

Use it in your personal projects. Try to make another one just for you!

Two Corners

Hello there!
Today I'm giving away two corners that you can use as a page element, or make each one smaller, as a picture helper, your choice. One has a pink, glittery style and the other has a green, gem-like style applied over it. They're in the same .png file, 300 dpi, some shadows.

Daisy Border

I have an absolute treat for you today. I'm extremely satisfied with my design. So much that I just might add some papers and an alphabet to make it complete. Stay tuned so you can get an update.
I put together different pictures of flowers, added the watering can, then added a different picture of flowers, to make it fuller. Some of the flowers have a shadow, so it can have the appearance of depth, but the border as a whole doesn't, so you can add the shadow however you like.
This is a 5x12" border, .png file, 300 dpi, some shadows.

I know you'll have good use for it!

Clear Frame with Yellow Elements

Hi! Hope you had a nice weekend.
I have for your consideration a frame that I turned clear. I added all the elements, mostly in yellow, and then added the goose. Maybe you'd wonder why? I thought, why not?
It's a .png file, 300 dpi, about 8x8" with some shadows (the frame doesn't have a shadow).

DOWNLOAD

I don't consider it a cluster, maybe it is. What's your opinion? Let me know.
Enjoy!

Wood Frame and Flower

This is a cute frame I put together with elements from Trina Clark.

This design is about 8x8", .png file, 300 dpi , shadows on the flower, snail and butterfly only.
Have fun with it!

Spring Banner

I loved working on this project. Sometimes the gathering of elements is as much fun as making it. :)
I transformed a simple triangle shape into a banner. Each element has either a paper or a pattern applied to the shape. I got the twine from Scrappin Cop. The font is Parade.

This is a .png file, 5x12", 300 dpi, shadows only on the clothespin.
I hope it's useful!

Two Cool Tags

Hi! I made two very different tags, even though the paper background seems the same. The one with the curls came from a template from Delicious Scraps. The other one I made from a shape I had, covered it with the crumpled paper, colored it  purple and then added the curl. That was a process: you cut part of the circle, turn it around, add a shadow, add the silver background, so it looks like a peeling sticker.
If you'd like to know how to do it, here's a link to one tutorial: http://pshero.com/photoshop-tutorials/graphic-design/peeled-back-sticker-effect-ii. I didn't make the tag into a sticker and it's not grunge, but the steps are about right.
One tag is about 3" around and the other about 4x6" - 300 dpi - .png file - no shadows

Kraft Shapes

I used a kraft paper and turned a bunch of shapes into kraft paper cutouts.
This is the paper, 12x12", .jpg file:

DOWNLOAD

But I didn't stop there. While applying the paper on the shapes, I decided to make it into a style.
These are the shapes. One more thing I have to say about the shapes: you can get 4 designs out of the tile alone. I used fonts Copperplate and Cursif for the phrase.

DOWNLOAD

But, as you can tell, the style has a shadow and thickness, because I applied some bevel to the kraft paper. So, if you'd like this style, I can have it for sale at $.25. Yes, just a quarter, not bad, huh?

BUY KRAFT STYLE (click below) the link will take you to Paypal. After payment you'll be redirected so you can get your style download.

Hope it works for you.
Patricia.
PS: if you'd rather not have the bevel, when you apply the style, right-click on your shape, choose 'Edit Layer Style' and click off 'Bevel.' You'll be left with just the kraft paper look.

Clipboard Template

This is just a clever idea to display a special picture. I keep using the same one of the raft in the middle of the ocean, it's just something that appeals to me, I don't even know where the place is. :)
So, with this freebie you get the base of the clipboard, the clip and the same picture frame I gave as a freebie before. Nothing fancy. I added the words just to give an idea, but you can do whatever. Since everything is in its own layer, you can turn things around, change sizes and stuff
This is a .psd file, so everything is in its own layer, 300 dpi, no shadows.
