New kit & freebie quickpage!

As my older daughter gets well into the terrible twos, it's taking more and more energy out of me in order to keep up with her! As a result, after a day with her and our 6 month old, I am just worn out by the time my husband gets home from work.

The two hours or so a day I have to do my "real" (that is, paid) work, are just not enough time... so the end result is that new kits take FOREVER to create. I'm designing them all from scratch, and rarely reuse elements from one kit to another.

Sometimes I create everything digitally, but more often I combine real (scanned) textures and things with Photoshop work. You can imagine the temptation my scanner, digital camera, and a boxful of ribbons and trims would be to a 2-1/2 year old! I have to be sneaky about it and make sure I clean up before she gets a hold of things.

Anyway I have a new kit, Pat-a-Cake, inspired by vintage childhood ephemera from the early 20th century... purchase it here! Here's a freebie quickpage I made from elements from my kit -- download it here.

A little freebie

Trying to figure out what's new in Photoshop CS4, I put together a quick little frame from elements in my Goth Chick kit (get the full kit here at Scraphead!). Enjoy!

New goth inspired kit

Looking at some old photos from college I was remembering how goth I used to be. You'd never know it to see me now!

This kit reminded me of those days. You can get it here in my store at Scraphead.

Playing around with Photoshop CS4

Just upgraded to CS4 the other day and I'm trying to figure out what's new and different. I put together a quick LO using my Daydream kit and Lauren paper pack, available in the store at Scraphead.

It's a page for my youngest daughter; she's 5 months old. Hard to believe it, it seems like she (and our older daughter, too) were just born a couple weeks ago!

A freebie, a sale, and a new kit... and spring!

Looks like spring is here in the Midwest, finally. Daffodils are just starting to bloom, grass is getting greener, weeds are popping up in the yard. A perfect time to introduce my new kit, for sale at Scraphead: Spring Fling.

We're having a big sale over at Scraphead: 40% off everything until midnight tonight -- so it's a great time to pick up some new kits and things!

Here's a little freebie frame I put together using elements from my new kit. Hope you enjoy it!
