Doodled Numbers and Lists {CU} {S4O} – Freeebie

2010
22 Comments

I am in a fantastic class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Everyday Adventures with Tami M. Loving it!

I’ve decided to do this class digitally and my first assignment was to make a list of 10 things “Right Where You Are”… and I was “At My Desk” – thus was born a layout about my desk. Now, I wanted a funky way to do the list, do I doodled some numbers to make my list. You know where this is going, right?

I have a freebie! It’s a set of doodled numbers AND a set of lists. They all come as .png files and .abr brush files for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements users. The lists come as numbers only, numbers and short lines and numbers and long lines. To spice things up, there’s a regular set of lists AND a grunge set of lists. Ok, so you get the idea! Hope you’re still with me *lol*.

Everything is the usual 300dpi, large brush files etc. and I’ve decided to make it CU friendly! I’ve been playing around and think I may just have to make a freebie of the numbers with funky patterned paper filling them! We’ll see.

Anyway, I’d love a comment, but no worries if not. If you have any feedback, please let me know – I’m just getting my feet wet with designing now that I have more time and would love to know what works, what doesn’t, and if you have any suggestions!

Doodled Numbers and Lists {CU} {S4H}

Click here to download “Doodled Numbers and Lists” or click on the preview!

EDITED: Just realized that I did this set at 300 pixels/cm – it should be 300 pixels/inch. I’ve resized them so what you’re getting is the normal 300 pixels/inch; however, if you would like the super high quality version (300 pixels/cm), you can grab them by CLICKING HERE! If you would like the regular quality ones (recommended), click the link above or click on the preview.

Enjoy!

P.S. I’ve just started to Twitter and would love more followers! I’ll announce new blog freebies via Twitter so you can keep up to date with them without having to come here to check. Oh, and it’s FUN! CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME! (or click the super cute twitter guy on the right).

Did I mention you can now also TWEET this post – I finally figured out how to add tweet thingys at the top of each post! I hope I’ve done it correctly =) I think you can also click the button at the bottom of the post. Hmm…. this could get confusing!

Anyway, off to sleep. It’s 12:34am and I have to be up early for work tomorrow. Nite e’one!

P.S. I’ve just posted a few extra doodled lists HERE! There’s a quick preview below. Enjoy!

Flower Stickers: Click to download.

After creating the flower doodles I decided to make a few stickers with them. I love the pinky, purpley, bluey colours and decided to stick with the colours I love! There are 13 flowers +3 leaves in various greens. Not all are shown in the preview – but you get the idea! They all come as .png files that have been zipped to speed up downloading!

They are S4H/S4O OK and I would love to see anything you do with them! I’m new at designing and get such a kick out of seeing what you create using the things I design. If you make a layout, email it to me and I’ll post it here!

Thanks and enjoy!

Psst…. Just to let you know – I had my settings accidentally set to 300 pixels/cm (should be 300 pixels/inch) so these stickers will be very large when you open them! They’re super high quality so this won’t be a problem for you using them, you’ll just have to make them smaller. I’ll correct them when I have time.

I’ve wanted a few flower doodles that had a thicker outline than usual, so decided to make my own. Included are 8 flowers, a leaf, and and apple (just cause I thought it was cute!). They come as .png files and I’ve also made them into brushes for those of you who have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

As always, I LOVE your inspiring, motivating, encouraging and downright wonderful comments – but no worries if you don’t have time! All that’s required is a name – you can ignore the email request =)

White Tiger in Singapore

I’ve just returned from a quick 4 day trip to Singapore with my mum to relax, relax and basically relax! We stayed at the Four Seasons, which was lovely and only a 2 minute walk from Orchard Road (always good!).

I’m presently take 2 photography classes and am so behind because I had initially planned on going to India to do my assignments – fabulous place to take photos! So when those plans fell through, I decided I would have to make my photography a priority in Singapore. I’ll post a few of my favourite photos when I get time, but couldn’t resist posting a photo of a white tiger I saw.

I should mention that it was POURING rain and I had to wear this huge green raincoat/poncho that was so difficult to work with. It was super humid and my lens kept fogging up even though my camera had acclimatized! I stood for ages trying to get some good shots. I couldn’t use a tripod and the camera was literally dripping wet. The photos didn’t come out brilliant – but MUCH better than I thought they would.

Unfortunately, because it was almost dark and because I didn’t have a tripod, I had to push the ISO up to 1600 and then pray my hand was steady enough for a 1/20 shutter speed (with VR).

I’m glad I got a few photos I like! Nothing wonderful, but good enough!

Enjoy!

Months WordArt Freebie

2010
14 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Here’s another quick freebie and then I’m off to Singapore for a week!

I love months! And there are just a couple fonts I adore and so I bought them. It dawned on me that not everyone can afford to buy them, so I bought a commercial license and made 12 WordArt files (.png) of the 12 months of the year and a brush file (.abr) for Photoshop/Photoshop Elements users! This is my all time favourite font to use when stamping the date on a layout! If I have time I’ll also do a set of years.

Anyway, here’s the preview. You can click on the preview or click below it to start the download. Btw, it’s a direct download – no fussy secondary sites. It took me ages to figure out how to do this! =)

Click image to begin download.

CLICK HERE to download it direct from my blog!

As always, comments would be lovely and inspiring and motivating etc. etc., but no worries if you don’t have time!

Enjoy!

I loved this photoshoot with a friend of mine’s daughter! But by the end she had this look on her face that basically said, “I’ve had enough!!!”. So cute!

I have never really enjoyed using templates – they always looked a little too childish for me. Since taking Cathy Zielske’s class, I have fallen in love with them and realize that you have to use great templates! Some templates are not very good quality and the result will not be very good unless you put some serious effort into making them look good. But if you start with a great template, you’ll find it much easier to get a good result!

Here is a layout I made with a template from Katie Pertiet. I love it!

Credits: I used a kit from Sir Scrapalot to ‘fill in’ the template. I think it was something about a ‘Cup of Tea’ kit? If you’re interested, drop me an email and I’ll find out the exact name. Love it!

Enjoy!
