It's Freebie time-QP 4 Halloween

Just a fast post to let ya get ready for OCT's holiday here in the USA. I was working with a few ideas for elements and to do a quality check.. I made a Quick Page to share with you.


4-share is being a pain in the tush..preview there looks like I don't know how to get rid of unwanted pixels..but I did, I do and redid just to be sure.. and it really is kool the way the Lighting brush lets ya spread those evil looks on a page.. I got all of my elements from Photoshop/brushes/shapes/vectors..and then added styles and textures. I was looking for the Font name and darn it all, I didn't write it down.. Now I can't find it or remember it. Sorry.

Just click on the image...to get your QP freebie.

Then ya gotta hate it when the RSS feed doesn't work on your site.. I checked it's contents and there are too many errors on it to fix. So the search engines will just have to find me the hard way..

Country Churches-brush set



If ya love Brushes and old country Churches I hope you will purchase My set.. yes, I do it meself!! Just click the image to grab these goodies that are CU-PU friendly.


Now if ya don't know what brushes are used for.. how about putting them on a new layer and on top of a plain paper as an overlay.. adjust the saturation to 50%(more or less) and walla, custom made paper for a religious scrapbook page. --keep reading and at the bottom You'll find a FREEBIE.....



See that top left church? That is where I sang in the choir and was baptised.


The bottom Church is where we had great suppers, meetings and fellowships in the town next to my little home town. The Church on the right was torn down to make room for a larger, modern building...doesn't look like a Church lives there anymore. At least I saved the image/photo from those long ago days!!

Cleaning Time & a Freebie


As you can see on the preview (image) I did these little critters for a color challenge at http://daydreamerdesignworks.com/forum/ this last week. The critters are made from circles, stars, ovals and triangle shapes.. using the swirl and liquify tool in PSE6 to get the final critter. Except for the white dove. It was a CU purchase at WWW.commercial-use.com . I just had to play with some puffy shadowing techniques to get it looking realistic. Adding an eye and face to each was so much fun!! NOT--
But if ya want these little critters, just click on the image to get the download. Remember these are for Personal Use only.. not to be resold in any form or format.
``````````````````````````````````````````
Am happy to announce all the paperwork is done and application sent in to get my Passport Card so I can sit in the sun, sip tequila, and wave to all you snowed in peeps ... Yeppers!! Only a couple more months and still alot to get done.
More cleaning out the Beast coming, and when I find a goodie or two, I'll share it with you here. But NOT, NOT doing anything new!! (well, promises can be broken-it's a woman thing!!)

Designing on HOLD


OMG..got tons of Real Life stuff to get done and little time left for designing and blogging. So you know what has to take a back seat to Life?? U know.. my design time. I thought I had tons of Freebies lined up to give you, but with 4 share having issues I've held off spreading that bit of garbage around.


I hope today I get all the paper work and applications filed for my Border Pass Card. I needed my state ID-drivers license, birth certificate (finally came in the mail) and 2 photos (specially made/taken) before I could even get to the FORMS to fill out and mail off to the Government office.. Not a big problem to get done IF YOU DRIVE. But I don't, so it's been slow going and time consuming.
I gotta learn the bus routes around here..and then it's the rain that keeps showing up. Nothing is co operating with me and MY wants. But I'll get there. Just takes me longer than the average bear. Look out TX you will be getting another Snow Bird this Winter.
So I may not get here for awhile to dangle little freebies in front of you.. but know I will be back as soon as real life gets itself in place and everything organized. Still gotta get a new cell phone and set up the lap top for travel..
Ah this vacation is turning out to be alot of WORK...but isn't that the way life is? Anything worth while, takes alot of thought, energy and work. GRANNY

It is official!! I got "borned" yesterday with the delivery of my Birth Certificate. It has my adoptive father on it..but at least I have proof that I am a US citizen of legal age to travel across the Mexican boarder..or canada if I ever go NORTH for a vacation. Now to get my Border Pass Card. Next step is Off to the post office with 2 photos , birth certificate and state ID card, since I don't drive. Winter plans are looking pretty good right now.
The people who own the place I am staying at offered to rent the place for the entire Winter with an option to buy!! Price is right for my budget..but I wanna see before paying. There are some repairs that need to be done, but heck I wasn't expecting a mansion- just a roof over my head with a bathroom inside!! I am a natural born "nester" from way back. Mom taught me how to take an ol shack and make it Clean, comfortable, and homey without spending a ton of CASH.
Elbow grease, soap & hot water!!
Never be afraid to try something different!! It could be a gold mine of memories!!

Cluster Part2

Ok, I couldn't get the darn images of Quotes to come up here.. so I have another quick cluster to share with you.. Again the file to download has the completed png shown here..but also has each layer for you to customize it for your own pages. There are 10 layers in 12x12@300dpi. but I duplicated and separated the butterfly and fern leaf. - just in case you didn't have that capability with the program you use. You can add shadows, resize, or delete individual items!!


I found a great CU kitty to use along with the CU butterfly at www.Commercial-use.com. The rest I made using PSE6=love the swirl maker and often get lost in the possibilities and forget why I wanted one.. Even tho I have a file with brushes & pngs of many more I have made, I just love to play around and customize them for the project I am working on.


Please send your buds and fellow digi scrappers here to get the Freebie!! Don't pirate..these are for PU only... After Oct 1 all links to the Clusters will be disabled since the set of 10 goes into My Store at www.Scrapdebri.com for a nice bargain price of $1.00 for ALL of them.

Click on the image to get YOUR FREEBIE!
Just a heads up.. I'll be spending the Winter months in the warm Texas Sun!! More to follow about that adventure when I get the darn birth certificate from the County where I was born. Back in the day, records were sealed on any/all adoption cases..even tho It was my Birth Mother and a Step father.. ??? someone didn't read the fine print!! So there are NO open records where I can get a copy without going thru a bunch of red-tape!! A really long bunch of RED TAPE.. Since all my parents (biological and adoptive) are deceased!! I just hope this part doesn't take all my vacation $$.. KWIM?
I may have to pass up leaving the USA, but I am NOT passing up the Sunshine!!

Mondays Quote

The kitchen is the hub of Life. I could always found my Mother, Grandmother, Aunts and Cousins in their kitchens.. gathering, talking and preparing food. What warm wonderful smells come back to me. Then the Television changed the center gathering spot in our homes.
I am happy to see more of the open floor plans where the kitchen and TV are no longer competing but blend into a friendlier family gathering time.

Cluster Sunday

Thought I change it up a bit for Sundays.. Clusters are a big fad and often used during Speed scraps that are so popular at many Forum/scrapbooking Sites. Not all premade's are appropriate for our page, so I've included the different items separately..in png's so that you can leave off one or two items.. say the cat-- just don't add it to your layers. Or maybe you want it to be bigger!! Well just click on that layer and with your move tool, make it larger or smaller.

Don't pirate!! Just send everyone here to get their own freebie!! Thanks.

*border, flowers, cat, folage is all included on separate layers. Instruction for use and TOU also included in the download.

The download includes the actual shown cluster ready to plop down on your page And the extra 5 layers with individual items on each. Add, duplicate, change sizes or delete the items you don't want. Customize it!! All Items are made with Brushes in PSE6 at 12x6@300dpi sizes.

Be NICE and leave a comment.. Love to know what you think of these little kits and if you want more.
