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.

August Colour Challenge kit

 My creative juices took a vacation until a family reunion gave them a needed jolt.

Circumstances beyond my control delayed the finish of this kit, but it's available now. Oh Baby! was inspired by some new members in my extended family.
Enjoy!

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.

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

DSO colour challenge - Waiting for Warm Weather

It's unseasonably cool here, & it doesn't feel much like summer. I've been sick all month with way too many ambulance rides to ER (I HATE going to the ER). So I managed a kit for the June 2011 colour challenge at DSO, only 5 zips this time - lol. Waiting for Warm Weather is in a folder at my mediafire account.

Spring Wishes

It's been a hard month for me, I am so sick of being sick. Plus someone hacked my laptop & it is completely out of commission until I can get it fixed. I've gotten very little accomplished. I have to get my taxes done, usually something I would have taken care of over a month ago, but it's hard to concentrate when you're sick.

I did get my portion of the Blue Skies & Butterflies collab done & when the whole collaboration is up in stores I'll give you more information about it & show you the preview for my portion.

Both the Studio & DSO had colour challenges with interesting pallettes, but I just wasn't sure I could get anything done. I don't have the knack for mini kits - I get going with,"do this, this & that" & then the creative part of my brain nudges me "this, this & this would go great in this project'' & then my creative conscience gets into the nagging "you'll be shortchanging people if you don't put these things in". By the time my rational half finally manages to put the brakes on my creative half - I've got a mega.

Well I completed a kit for the Studio challenge - 13 zips worth (25 papers, 240 elements & 3 posers). The colours made me think of my mum's garden this time of year with tulips, crocus, & daffodils. There aren't any flowers out here yet, so the kit is called Spring Wishes.
The individual zips are in a main folder on mediafire. easiest way is to right click on zip01 & select "open in new tab", so a new tab with zip01 download opens, leaving the main folder tab open to go back to for zip02 & so on. Hope you like it. Please leave a comment, it helps me to keep going & making these kits available.

DSO colour challenge - Ooo-La-Love

This month I was inspired by some scripts by PSP Girl. I have created a virtual barbie doll I design outfits for to relax & playing with some dress scripts reminded me of the fun of dress-up.

You know how sometimes you are trying to figure out an outfit for an occasion & you end up with half your closet strewn around the room... that's what this kit is about. It's a special evening with a very special guy, so - which dress, which shoes, which purse? This may be the night he pops "the" question...ooo-la-love!

December 2010 DSO colour challenge

Despite getting an early start on the December 2010 colour challenge at DSO, illness sidelined me enough this month that I just finished the kit last night & set it to upload to Mediafire while I slept.

I really had fun making this one, & as usual, it is far from being a "mini" kit.

C-C-Cold is loaded into a main folder, but in case there is a problem with that download link, I'll also list the links for each of the 20 zips - 36 papers & over 300 elements.

Just a few gentle reminders - the zips are sized 28-30mb for the benefit of those on dial-up; the kit is strictly personal use only; don't share the download links, share the link to the post on my blog; please consider taking a moment to comment because it's easy to get discouraged when nobody bothers to say 'Thank you".

Today is the last day of 2010. Everyone stay safe tonight.

May DSO colour challenge

I started work on the May colour challenge at DSO early, but illness & various commitments forced it onto the back burner which is why I'm cutting it so close now. What May Be is essentially a garden kit with a couple of unexpected elements tossed in. In case the main folder link fails, I'll also list the individual zip links.

DSO colour challenge - Vintage Memories

Well, I stared at the colours for April's colour challenge at DSO for a week & a half before I got a spark of an idea, but once I had that spark I coaxed it into another multiple download kit. It's created at 300dpi, although I forgot to check the dpi of a couple items made from greyscaled templates until after the kit was finished & zipped, so some 72 dpi items (the hankies & the lamps) snuck in. Personal use applies as per my TOU. The papers are made from original patterns I created, & most of the patterns in the elements are original work as well.

MediEvil Creations came out with this set of posers while I was working on the kit & I couldn't resist buying them & putting a few into the kit for any of you who like to tag. Her terms of use are included inside the posers folder - please abide by them.

Download links: Main Folder

zip01 zip02 zip03 zip04

zip05 zip06 zip07 zip08

zip09 zip10 zip11 zip12

The folder link worked when I tested it, but after last month, I decided it's safest to post the individual file links as well, right from the start.

I appreciate all the people who took the time to say thank you for last month's kit. It really does help encourage me to keep going & investing in supplies & mking freebie kits for you, so please, if you download, take the time to leave a brief comment, either with the blog entry of in my chat box.

DSO colour challenge - Hop Into Spring

Hop Into Spring - link list below

I've been having trouble designing lately because running scripts & actions is triggering absence seizures which leave me needing a nap. I really wanted to get a kit done for this month's colour challenge at DSO though, so I worked a bit at a time over the last 2+ weeks. Working sporadically, just thinking "oh, this would go nice", I lost track of the kit's size - consequently, it's one of my largest (if not the largest) kits ever. I know it will take some time to download, but I worked really hard, & I think it's worth the trouble. I hope you all agree.

I finally figured out how to put all the kit's files into a folder on 4shared & give you a single link to that folder - I've tried before, but this time I figured out how to get a functioning link (although my first attempt produced an invalid link) - I tested the link to be sure!

If you take the time to download, please also take a moment more to leave a comment, either under this post, or in the Shout box - right now I really need the encouragement.

Hope you like the kit & are having a good month - I do not want to see any more white stuff on the ground for a good, long time!

OK - despite my testing the link successfully yesterday - today it doesn't work! 4shared is driving me nuts! So sorry for the problem. Back to individual links:

February DSO Colour Challenge

Pain in my abdomen has been making sitting at a computer difficult to outright impossible, so it was very slow going creating this kit for this month's colour challenge at DSO, but I did manage to finish. Each item in the preview is in the kit in all 6 of the colours, so there are 10 zips this month.

December DSO - Holly-Daze

Okay, I finally finished my December colour challenge kit for DSO. I hope the links behave better this month than last month. I can no longer put it all in 1 folder & just share the folder - one is supposed to be able to do that, but when I checked the link Mediafire provided, it did not work. However, the individual links do seem to work. There are 14 zips - as usual, my creating got out of hand & I tried to keep the zip sizes managable for dial-up users.

If you download, could you please take the time to say thanks or hi, either under comments or in my shout box, please? It takes a lot of time, effort, & $ spent on CU items to produce a kit like this, & the comments help make it worth doing.

Enjoy & have a safe, happy holiday.
