I'm Back & with Goodies

I've been gone from my blog for quite awhile. Part of the problem is my continuing struggles with my health, family problems, including the death of my mother, while Shani (aka Wicked Princess Scraps) stopped designing, and my own creativity switched gears to writing and making tags because I was tired of problems with m Paint Shop Pro not o-operating in running scripts.

Finally, this month my design urge came back & I made kits for colour challenges and a blog train. Some are still in the process of being completed.
The colour challenge at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio was this palette

and I made a wintry snowman type kit

12 zip files here.

Then I created a second kit with the same colour scheme but with a more playful take on the winter theme.

The zips for this one are here.
February 1, 2017 I'll be participating in my first blog train for Pixel Scrapper blog train using this palette.

Unbearably Cute mini

What a month & it's not even halfway. An uneven haircut I hope to get fixed next week, at Walmart someone sneaked up behind me & stole a bag from the handle of my wheelchair, but when they discovered their haul was paperback books they abandoned it in the ladies change room (staff recovered the bag & I can get it from a friend who works there when I see her next month), & a taxi driver who didn't listen & drove the meter up to over $20 taking me where he thought I should go instead of where I said I wanted to go! And then we get more snow!

I couldn't decide what to do for the monthly color challenge at the Studio had a few attempts that went nowhere, so I played in Paint Shop to create a bunch of patterns, and then created a mini kit using the patterns in some cute elements. The mini kit & quick page set can be downloaded here.

I put photos into the quick pages, for display purposes only. The cutie in the photos is my cousin's granddaughter, photo credit A. Bauhaus.

Dancing Queen

So I love the movie Mamma Mia & ABBA music, but when I first got Wicked Princess Scraps new kit Dancing Queen, available here or here, my ct mojo just packed up & left.  So I indulged in other creative outlets (colour challenges, photography, song writing, abstract art) & then went back to the kit the other day & mojo was back (yippee).

So I have created not only a quick page freebie for you to download, but I also have 4 tag show-offs to hopefully inspire you.

Country Summer (FTU)

I made a kit for the July colour challenge at the Studio & I just kept creating until I ran out of ideas, so Country Summer is a whopper- 609 elements & 49 papers, & a grand total of 35 zips, making up for a bit of a dry spell in my other creative activities. Unfortunately my Mediafire account has no space left, so these are on 4shared.

Sweet Summer Nights

My beloved friend Sassy (A Simply Sassy Scrap Creation) has a new kit - Sweet Summer Nights.

I made a freebie quick page for you all.

Then I made a Facebook timeline cover and avatar, which I hope she'll like enough to use (because I just made myself new ones yesterday).

Last but far from least, I made her a tag.

Tea With Teddy - May colour challenge at the Studio

It was supposed to be a mini kit, honest, and I started out fine with only 10 papers in a 5 colour challenge, but then there were the elements, and I had picked a favorite theme, so... 132 elements later and a May 31 deadline, I stopped.

10 zips total
Download and Enjoy.

Colour Challenge quick page

I'm working on creating a new kit, inspired by the colour challenge at Scrap Matters, but I may not get it complete to my satisfaction in time, so I used what I have so far to make a quick page freebie.

Above is the layout that inspired the quick page and the quick page.
