Shabby Sage is Here!

It's been a long time in coming but it is finally here! Usually I release my new kits on Thursdays but normal life interfered so I am releasing this kit on Sunday. I think in future, all new kits will be released on Sunday.

I hope you like this one! It's a little bit shabby, a little bit frilly but a whole lot of fun!

Shabby Sage, by DreamScrapper, is kit that you will love to use for all your feminine layouts as well as being suitable for heritage pages. The 8 papers of this kit have been lovingly created in shades of sage, olive, rose and cerise. Papers include an assortment of lightly textured solids and patterns. Papers are created at 12" by 12" at 300ppi and saved as high-quality jpg files ensuring excellent print quality. Contained in "Shabby Sage" you will find 2 sets of lace photo corners, a set of silver photo corners, a set of charm-embellished photo corners (due to the complexity of the shadowing needed for realism, these have been pre-shadowed) with two extra sets created at angles for use with angled photos, 1 silver paper clip, 1 silver brad, 1 silver eyelet, 1 beaded flower, 3 sheer twisted ribbons, 2 ric rac, 2 dotted grosgrain ribbons, 1 green bow and matching ribbon, 1 border of chipboard flowers, 1 round frame made from ribbon and lace and embellished with a bow, and one folded flower cluster. Several items come in both shadowed and un-shadowed format so you may best choose which suits your needs. Completing this page kit is a silver rimmed glass alpha. Alpha has a complete upper set, numerals 0 to 9, as well as 9 other punctuation marks. Alpha is provided as individual letters so you may open only those that you need. All elements are created at 300ppi and saved as png files to preserve transparency. Drop shadows are applied only where layering of pieces makes shadowing necessary for realism. Thank you to Tandika Star and DigiScrapDesigner for items used in the creation of this product. Special thanks to Atomic Cupcake and Monica Larsen.

Come and Celebrate!

Did you know that there is a National Digital Scrapbooking Day? Well there is! This year it is on November 3rd and digital sites are gearing up for the celebration with various sales and contests.

I decided that it was just too exciting and couldn't wait!

Layouts, Layouts, Layouts!

Well, I have had a good weekend scrapping some of my own photos. It seems that as you make the transition to designer, you have less time to scrap yourself! You really have to schedule things to get some time to just scrap.

First, I completed a heritage layout using my newest kit, Newsworthy.

News Flash!

Just released . . . my new kit, Newsworthy! Hope you like it!

Newsworthy, by DreamScrapper, is a unique page kit that is a little bit funky, a little bit grungy, yet can still hold its own with classic heritage kits! As well as being suitable for heritage pages, it contains elements that lend themselves to embellishing autumn layouts. The jewel tones of the saffron, indigo and teal textured solid papers contrast well with the aged and grungy newsprint found in the 8 papers of this kit. Included in the 8 papers is one special paper that stitches together curled-edge newsprint with a textured paper. Papers are created at 12" by 12" at 300ppi and saved as high-quality jpg files ensuring excellent print quality. Contained in "Newsworthy" you will find 1 double bow, 1 string bow, 2 flourishes touched with newsprint, 4 leaves with touches of newsprint, 1 unique newsprint flower, an inked-edge overlay, 1 fall cluster, 1 elaborate metal frame, 1 textured newsprint ribbon, and 1 string ribbon. Completing this page kit is a stylish, two-inch alpha with copper edging. Alpha has a complete upper and lowercase set, numerals 0 to 9, as well as 10 other punctuation marks. Alpha is provided as individual letters so you may open only those that you need. All elements are created at 300ppi and saved as png files to preserve transparency. Drop shadows are applied only where layering of pieces makes shadowing necessary for realism. Thank you to Tandika Star and DigiScrapDesigner for items used in the creation of this product. Special thanks to Atomic Cupcake and Monica Larsen.

I have also created a second alpha that you may download as a FREEBIE. Click on image for download.

Take Your Layouts With You!

For those of you who like gadgets, you may be interested in the new Pocket Album by Digital Foci. This is a slick little number that holds up to 74 pictures that can be scrolled manually or shown via slide show. The album has a 1.5" color screen and runs on a lithium battery designed to give 9 hours battery life.

The Pocket Album comes complete with user-friendly software needed to convert JPG or BMP files from your computer to Pocket Album. The software lets you view, crop and rotate photos you wish to transfer before it automatically resizes them for optimal storage and display on the unit. Pocket Album can be recharged with an included AC adapter or via USB attached to your computer. The album comes complete with built in clock with automatic on/off timer and LCD contrast adjustment.

All this for $39.95! You can bet this will be on my Kaboodle list! Just think . . . you can buy a few of these for Christmas presents and pre-load them with your favorite layouts! How sweet is that?
