Puddle Jumpers

Well, the saying I grew up hearing was "April showers bring May flowers", and right now I'm hoping the showers of April will be rain & not that white stuff we are still getting!
Anyway, Wicked Princess Scraps has a cute new kit called "Puddle Jumpers".

It reminded me of one of my first 'mouse drawn' cartoons.

I made an April 2013 desktop calendar for you to download.

I also made 2 tags. In Photoshop enable "show transform controls", in Photoshop Elements enable "show bounding box", in Paint Shop Pro, enable the "pic" tool. This allows easy resizing of elements after they are copied &pasted.

The background paper was applied at 1%.
A bevel & emboss effect was applied to the tree, the sun, the frog, the butterfly, and the bee. Drop shadow was applied to the poser & an outer glow was applied to the sun.

The background paper was applied at 5%.
Drop shadow was applied to everything  except the puddles on the ground.

Tenia tags (FTU)

Wicked Princess Scraps did a FTU kit for an "Inspired by Elias" blog train called Tenia. The original link is no longer working but has been reloaded here.

I made 2 tags & used FTU posers for both.

I set the paper fill to a very small percentage, then it's a case of  simple copy, paste, resize by manipulating transform controls, & apply drop shadow to elements.

Same guidelines as tag01.

Both poser links have plenty of freebies & Wicked Princess Scraps has a bunch of freebie kits & even free cu products. Check it out & enjoy.

Desktop Calendar, laptop calendar & more

Ok, it's almost March! I made a March 2013 laptop calendar from my Spring Wishes kit (see April 2011 for links to the freebie kit).
Then I used Queen Beeatrice, from Wicked Princess Scraps, to make a March 2013 desktop calendar.
Download both calendars here.

Lastly, for today at least, are 2 tags, also made using Queen Beeatrice.

A Girl In The World

Recently I worked with A Girl in the World by Wicked Princess Scraps.
When I was about to post them, my computer said the files were no longer there - eekkk!
Fortunately, after 3 computer restarts, the files were back (sigh of relief), so I figured I should post them quick before they could disappear again.

I created a quick page freebie for you.

I also made 2 show-off tags.

Cupcake Rainbow

Well we've been hit by another snowstorm and the view outside my window is like a black and white photo with way too much white. Fortunately I've been working with Wicked Princess Scraps' new kit called Cupcake Rainbow, and as the name suggests, it is a welcome burst of colour.

This one used the whole box of crayons, so to speak.
I have a quick page freebie for you.

Then, because it was such a cheery kit, I made 3 tags.

(Tag 3 is meant to convey a story - mer-child planned to have the ship discover a phony message in a bottle, but got caught by Mom.)
