Father Phrase

Well, since I didn't have a post for Memorial Day, I decided to combine it with Father's day.
Fathers, just like mothers, wear many hats. One of them could be a military helmet, if he's served at any point in his life. However, if that's not the case, you don't have to use it in your layout. This design is in layers, as many others I've done, and the helmet is one of them.
I used Blackoak Std font, and used some shapes to define fathers: car keys, a wrench, a laptop, love, a tie (if he wears one), and last but not least, a flower, if he's already gone.

You get both the black and white (clear) and the styled design.

I hope it's useful. :)

Tagore Quote

Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. Here we had Memorial day weekend, which made it nice to spend outdoors or having fun with the family.
This is a quote from Rabindranath Tagore, a wise man that lived at the beginning of the last century.

I used fonts Bickley Script and Bell.
Enjoy!

Sunglasses Mask

I've been, first of all, busy and second, on a mask mood lately. So here's another one.
There are 4 layers in this .psd file, and all you do is add a picture, any picture.

You can change the look of the glasses by using different styles. The sample in the picture was also added to the .psd file, it's the bottom layer.

Graduation Frame & Mask

I made this considering that graduation is coming up quick. It's the usual polaroid frame. The only thing I changed was the bottom, replaced the wide bottom with the phrase 'graduation.' I used font Nose Bleed.
The file comes as a .psd, which means you get all the layers and you can add your own picture. What you do is load your picture and place it where it says 'place picture under here,' that way you get it right. Then click on your picture layer and do Ctrl + G and your mask is done. Then save the file with a new name and close your original without saving.

Striped Mask

Hi! I hope you had a great Mother's day here in the USA. It was wonderful!
I did a little bit of work on this, not much. I saw this effect on the cover of a movie's DVD and thought 'I can do that!,' so I did. :)
Just had an 8x8" square open in a 9x9" document and started to stripe it and shuffle the layers until it looked like this.
I then added a picture, put it as the top layer and did Ctrl + G. After you do that, you can adjust how much of your picture you like on the mask by moving the top layer around. After you're satisfied, you can save it as a .png file somewhere and you're done.

Have fun with it!

#1 Mom Label

I hope you enjoy this cute ribbon decoration/label. Since everything came in layers, it was somewhat easy to change colors and stuff. However, it wasn't so easy to decide what to do with each layer. I added patterns, colors and shadows to pretty much everything. I used font AmerType Md BT for the phrase.
I also warped the tails, so they didn't look too stiff.

This freebie is for personal use, .png file, 300 dpi, the main design has no shadows.
Have a great weekend visiting/reconnecting with your mom. I'm looking forward to getting a phone call from my missionary son, yea!

Wild @ ♥

Hey! I worked on this phrase for you today. I used font Aunt Bertha NF and mixed up upper and lower cases. I added the ampersand in AvantGarde BK. I played with them until it looks as if the & is hanging from the W. I made sure the letters are rasterized or I can't apply anything to them. I used the Magic Wand tool to 'grab' the letters in WilD, then I added a pattern (leopard) to them.
I added a silver style to the ampersand and then added a heart shape and put a stripes style on it.
And there you have it. This freebie is a .png file, 300 dpi, shadows are included.

Mom Mail

If you live close to your mom, it's not a big deal to get in touch with her. If you live far away (like me-thousands of miles) the phone is a great help. However, sometimes you just want to send that special something, or use the mail for any reason.
Today I give you an envelope. Yup, an envelope. I designed something for show, but that's not what you're getting. I give you the envelope in layers: frame, base, flap and flap shadow. For you to use in any personal use layout you need. With it, a couple of stamps that might embellish any design.

Mother Poem

Hi! I hope you had a great weekend. The few days we get of a real spring are just gorgeous.
I put together this design around the poem you see. I used fonts Aubrey and Apple Butter. I had a leaf shape, doubled it, placed the two the way you see them and just added the green style on them. Then added the bow. Nothing fancy, really.
The design is about 8" square, pretty big, I know. You can make it smaller if that's your desire.

This freebie for personal use is a 300 dpi, .png file, shadows on the bow only.
Go scrap! :)

Mother Border

This is a cute idea I had, that can be used as a border on a Mother's day layout. I thought of socks hanging on a line, so I ran with the idea.
I started with the line, added the letters in Elephant font, then added a different pattern on every single one. After that I duplicated each one, so I still have the original in the file, and rasterized the copy. Why? so I can apply a transform on each letter, so they look like the wind is moving them around.
Then I added the clothespin and duplicated it for each letter. I applied a shadow on the pins only, the rest you can add a shadow later, if you wish.
Then I did the "My BFF" in MV Boli font, I warped the text and added a style to it (denim).
And that's that.

This personal use freebie is about 3.5x11", 300 dpi, .png file, with some shadows.
Scrap it!
