Day Six Freebie - Vintage Pocket Watch

Hi all another lovely day and I have your next freebie but first of all I would like to say to you all a very big Thank You for your support and I really appreciate you visiting everyday to pick up my freebies and leave me your lovely comments, it makes me very happy and all the work worth while, thank you to you all.

Today I have a vintage pocket watch and even though I say it myself the end result was pretty amazing it almost looks real as if I have photographed it but apart from the chain, which is taken from my grandfathers pocket watch that I own, the watch itself was made from scratch. The frame around the  watch I created using some filters to get the gold black effects and the watch face was made using some blending modes and crack brushes, it kind of has a cracked mother of pearl look, it is amazing what you can do in photoshop, dont you think?  So all in all I was kind of pleased with this one too and I hope you are.

I will be making some papers over the next couple of days though as I need something to use when creating some more elements, I also have some tags in the making. I thought you might like to see the colour palette that I am using, mainly on the papers, so you can have a peek at that below along with a scrap page I have created using the kit so far. Dont forget to send me a link to view your scrap pages too, I would lurveeeeee to see what you create with it and more than happy to display your pages here on my blog too.

Another reminder about the competition I mentioned yesterday, I am looking for some help choosing a name for the kit and the winner will receive a gift voucher to spend at Loucee Creations store. All you need to do is leave a comment stating your chosen name and the winner will be drawn on the 6th August, I think I said the 6th, just check yesterday's post as I have a touch of memory loss this morning lol.






and the colour palette

Day Four Freebie - Vintage Floral Shoe

I am really excited about today's freebie as it is my favourite so far, it took me hours to create this one but am really pleased with the results so I hope you are too. I added some rosebuds to the element this morning and could not make up my mind which one I liked most, so I thought why not just put both files in  and you can choose which one to use. You may have to look hard to see the difference though lol.

Now I am having real issues using Skydrive for some reason it its doing some real wierd stuff with the files so I have removed all Skydrive links and I will have to have a rethink on this problem, so for the time being we will just be using 4 Shared until I can find a solution to the problem. Most of the time 4 Shared fares quite well and it is only the odd download that seems tobe presenting a problem for some. Again if you have any issues with 4 Shared drop me a email and I will forward the file by email.

As you know I celebrated my anniversary yesterday and promised some photo's eeekkkk - I forgot to take my camera with me... hahahaha can you believe it, I can, have a head like a sieve lately. Anyway I have got some photo's of the lovely roses my DH bought me so I will upload those later and add them on here.

But for now here is your link to today's freebie, hope you like it.

Day Three Freebie - Vintage Frame, Calling Card & Journal Mat

Hi All,

Sorry I am a little late today but we are celebrating our 34th Wedding Anniversary along with spending some time in the garden as the weather is gorgous today. I knew I should of uploaded this file late last night. Will be going out later for a meal so If I get some nice photo's I will share them with you tomorrow.

Before I put the preview up I would like to ask you if there is any particular vintage element that you would like or are having problems finding, I ask because I am guessing that I will be getting short of ideas before then end of the month for one but also it would be nice to actually create something for you that you would particularly like, so pop any requests in the comment box and I will do my best.

Her we go then today you get three for one :-) sort of it is one element and changed for different use's if you know what I mean.



After all I said yesterday about thes dam download links I seem to be having some problems with Skydrive today ggggrrrrr, cant win anyway I really am hoping that everyone will be ok with the 4 Shared link if not please let me know and I will forward the file to you by email. Or even if anyone has a suggestion of a site that they can recommend that would be awesome.

Day Two Freebie

Today I have a vintage paper for you, I know that may sound a bit boring but we all need those papers for our layouts yes.

It would seem that sometimes a few people have had problems trying to download or open the files from 4 Shared so I have decided to use two download options and you can now also download from Skydrive which seems to be a much simpler option. My only issues with using Skydrive is that there are no stats to tell you how many times the file has been downloaded and although that is no big issue really it doe's help to know which files are the most popular so I can spend more time on creating the kind of items that you all like to use most. So I would be really grateful if you decide to use the Skydrive download option to just leave a quick comment to say you have downloaded that way I can keep some kind of track on what you want the most of :-)

The vintage frame seemed to be a big hit and so I will be offering some more frames later, tomorrows freebie will be a bit more exciting and I am working on maybe putting a couple of items in, time willing that is.

So here is today's preview, hope you like it and look forward to seeing you drop by for tomorrow's take care and have great weekend.





If anyone still experiences any problems downloading please email me at caruff@hotmail.co.uk and I will send the file to you by attachment.

Freebie Kit For July - Weather Be Good

The theme for July's collab kit at Hummies World was summer weather which I found a tough one for me in deciding what type of elements to create and I wasn't particularly in love with the colour palette but I got there eventually. I am more a lover of pastel shades and prefer a softer style, but then I don't design for just me so I guess there will be someone who will find use for this kit, well I do hope so anyway lol. Contributions from other designers are not yet available but will be available for you to download at Hummies World at the end of the month as normal.

As usual I would love to see the layouts that you may create or any hybrid projects made using the kit, so don't forget to send me your links and I can add your creations on my blog here with a link to you.




Hope you have fun using this kit
