Sneak Peak at my new kit, and a LO I did with it

Hi everyone,

I made this kit specifically to scrap this particular photo. While I do have my "girly girl" moments, I'm not overly girly, and this kit suits me down to the ground. It has its feminine touches, with some of the papers being floral, but it can be used to scrap just bout any sort of pic.

I havent come up with a name for it as yet, but it has the working title of "Pieces of Me" I'm not sure if that will be the final name though.

The wraps remind me of the wrap I was wearing for the photo, and it has a mix of vintage and "not so vintage" papers and elements. And the crochet flowers are in it because I used to crochet all the time, til the arthritis made me stop.

So here is a preview of the kit, and the layout I did with it.






The kit should be in my store by the end of the week, but stay tuned for the freebie portion which I will post in the next couple of days.

Charity Mega Kit

I am contributing to this Mega Charity Kit and I am also forwarding this for a friend to help get the word out.
Please take a moment of your time to read over it and if you are interested in participating, please respond to the email address found below.
Thanks!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm putting together another Mega Charity kit... All proceeds from this kit will go to Ryan ...
You can read about Ryan and his very special story >> here and here << Please take the time to read it.

If you're willing to help contribute to this mega kit,
please respond to me via email bound.by.leather.grfx@gmail.com
I would like to have this kit up and ready to sell on or before Christmas day
Alphas, elements, mini kits , papers ... ANYTHING to go in a kit ...
( must be YOUR work, Commercial use ok materials please, because we never know who is going to use it where)

Also... I'm currently having my girl Sweetz check into the ability of zencart in our forum @ Urban but if we cant pull it off there,
would someone be willing to let me upload the kit & download to their shop/zencart for this charity event?
We can set it up to my paypal or even better to Ryan's family's paypal so it goes directly to them...
But I believe you get charged for every time 4 is put into an acct, so it might be better if it goes to mine & I send them one lump sum
when the sale is over. I dunno... Whatever someone else thinks is best, because I'm not one to mess with shops n zencart.

Please Please Please.... If you can help me... In ANY way... Don't hesitate to do so...
The more scrap bits to this kit, the better.

I'm not going to make a swatch of colours just yet.
UT... I don't want it girly. I want it kept boyish. Boy colours, themes...
If I need to ill make a swatch of colours for you all as soon as I know how many of you want to help me

PLEASE FORWARD THIS ONTO YOUR OTHER SCRAP & YAHOO GROUPS ... THE MORE HELP THE BETTER

Grrrrrrrr @ Photobucket

I have exceeded my limit for the second time this month with photobucket - so I'm slowly changing all my image codes AGAIN!!!!

I'm gonna give photobucket the flick and upload all the images to my website. I dont want to have to keep changing codes a couple of times a month. Its got me beat how everyone else does it lol, they must have quite a few photobucket accounts!!!

So if an image isnt available, please be patient and I will do my best to have them all changed for you soon.

CT Kits - Kit 1 "Adelina"

Hi everyone,

I asked each member of my Creative Team to provide me with a colour chart of between 4-8 of their favourite colours. I will be making a kit for each of them and naming it after them as a way of thanking them for all they do for me.

The first one is finished. Adelina was the first to send hers in, this is her colour chart:


And this is the kit I made based on those colours. I lightened the yellow a bit to make it a neutral creme. Adelina's favourite kit of mine is the "Kinda Shabby" so I tried to stay along those lines with this kit.




The kit includes:

3 bows,

3 brads,

6 buttons,

9 flowers,

3 folded ribbons,

3 lace frames,

2 lace mats,

6 lace ribbons,

2 leaves,

4 notepaper bits,

9 papers,

3 criss cross ribbon wraps,

staple,

2 pins,

2 tags &

3 stitches.

New Kit - In the Summertime

I know I promised that the next kit would be "Denim Dudes" but somebody else released almost exactly the same kit (using my denim resources from the Ephemeral Victorian) so I've had to put it on the backburner for now. Thats why the kit is so late being posted this week. I had to make a complete new kit.

Its almost summer here in Australia, and the last few days its been in the high 30's where I live. Yesterday was 38 degrees celsius (around 100 I think lol) So I made this kit, while dreaming of being at the beach swimming.




The shells on the paper are actually an overlay, so the paper could be used for just about anything. I left the flowers quite large in the preview so that you could see the detail in the blue one. I tried to make it look like a starfish, with beads of water all over it.

Download Link no longer available. This kit is now in my store at Do It Digi .
