Good Morning. and some FREEBIES!

I am so sorry to be so late posting. I try to get this done by Friday and post it on Saturday. I am babysitting for 4 for my grandkids and that is a BUSY job. I also have been working on finishing up on my "Day at the BEACH2" kit. It's finished, I think...but I definitely see an ADD-On to this one. LOL This will co-ordinate well with the "Day at the BEACH" kit, [my first kit]. LOL
BTW, I sold at least one of this one, if not more. I am told I have sold 3-kits in a week!!!
TY all, for your support and encouragement. I just am NOT sure that is what I want to do, yet. I am doing a "testing the water" thing right now. We'll see. I would much rather make kits, when I can and want to and then sharethen with my readers, rather than feel I have to, because then it feels more like a JOB. lol
Then it's no longer fun to create but a MUST, for me anyway. lol I'll let you know when I decide. lol
I really appreciate all your encouragement...or maybe I might not have tried to sell my work. So it's YOUR FAULT! LOL Just kidding. It's the PUSH I needed so much...and I Thank You!! [HUGZ]

Ok...I have a couple of items for you today. Starting with a Freebie. I started out just MAKING the items I needed to create a LO for the Color Challenge going on over at STONE ACCENTS, [Ummm, I think you have to register to get in]. lol But it's WELL worth it if you do!! Hurry, it's not too late...here's what you get just for participating...

SUNSET at SEA_BooLandDesigns

BOO of BLD even gives you this BEAUTIFUL kit to do the LO with, unless you don't want to make your own...[like someone we won't mention her name...but her initials are "CM"! LOL]

Artisians' Garden_BLD

Isn't this a gorgeous kit? Two for doing a LO! You can't beat it... OH...and if you haven't already, remember to sign up for the SAS Newsletter, so you don't miss out on these great challenges! Check them all out, this is only ONE of many! Just click the SAS NEWSLETTER link and then SIGN UP for the UPDATES..you won't miss ONE newsletter! lol

Here's the LO I made from the color chart for this challenge.
[for those of us who like a challenge...lmbo!]

and here's my LO

"My Dream Garden"
(can you see where the NAME came from?)

This is NOT one of my best LO's...but if you would like LO, you can grab the QP HERE

I will definitely be making another LO from the kit...I have added more to it since this LO was made. LOL
OH...I got the "Lora" Dress, Pink Rose Hat, Tire Swing and Sea Shells" tubes from my friend Steph [sjs]...she is a fantastic tuber! I love her tubes! I also used her "GRANDFATHERS pocket watch" for my TAG template. Thanks STEPH! You are so sweet to allow me to use your tubes in my kits!

I also used a GREAT script by...
Cassel @ www.doitdigi.com
for her awesome script_"Attached Ribbon"
This is the one with the tied ribbon around the frame! It makes the ribbon/ribbon knot and both rectangular and square frames! It's awesone! TY Cass, great script! I just chose the color/pattern and the script did the rest!
[I just love this FRAME and I added the Lora dress & Pink Rose Hat along with the TREE [I made...lol] and the Tire Swing...yes, it's all one piece! This is probably my favorite piece in this kit! lol
I haven't used scripts much, as I usually draw my own items by using vectors. But in a PINCH, these can be really nice! lol Always READ the TOUs when you snag them, though. :-)

I also wanted to mention the "Grunge Texture" I used for my background papers...no credit is required, but I like giving it just the same...it's the ...[CU] "prirocha_grungetextures_01". I used it as an OVERLAY over my background color and lowered the opacity to let the color come through. Great helpers these items....It's not like the OLD days when you had to draw everything from scratch. LOL
Now I can say, I KNOW how these desginers are whipping these kits out! lol Just kidding.
FYI....In case you didn't know this.....scripts are for Paint Shop Pro [PSP] users...and actions are for Photo Shop [PS] users... Just incase you ever wondered, LOL
They both do the same thing... just click a button... let it do the work for you...lol I'll still do my vector drawings, as that is my relaxing time. LOL Besides...LOOK MOM! I CAN DRAW now! lol Oh, onn paper...it's just another doodle [hehehee]...but using the vectors, it looks pretty good! LOL At least I think so. lol
Check this out... I drew this baby by HAND...well with vectors of course...[snickering]

Not my idea of a sand castle's colors...lol but matches the colors in the kit. LOL

I remember seeing something similar to this one somewhere...so I thought I'd try to remember what I saw and do it myself. I think I might be missing something.... so I think I will tweek this one too! LOL
Anyway... I have another goodie for you...then I need to get busy. LOL

First... let me tell you...if you have NOT been to Michelle's blog latels... PLEASE do... she is doing a special thing for her dear friend, Jazz...and I just think that is just so sweet of her.
