A LOT has been going on the last few day.  So, let me see if I can catch you up.

First of all, I am playing “Capture the Flag” at Funky Playground Designs.  I am in awe of some of the amazing kits that other designers who are playing have created – so, make sure you go check out the gallery there and snag some wonderful kits!  The competition is fierce – there are some awesome, well known designers playing – so, I feel like a kindergartner who is taking the SAT with a bunch of high school seniors!  I am pleased with my kit, Scribble Scrabble… hopefully the judges will be as well.  Stop by there, grab my kit and leave me some love!  I need all the confidence I can get :)

While creating the kit I learned how to make true type fonts.  I am always on the lookout for great CU fonts – and they are out there, but you have to look.  The one I am sharing tonight is my first attempt – it’s a fancy handwritten font.  If you like this one be sure to download the elements from my Scribble Scrabble kit because I included a font in it as well!

I also made a set of brushes to use in the kit.  I am sharing them with you tonight.  Its a set of 5 CU brushes. I will be making a much larger set in the future to sell – so, consider these the “try before you buy” set ” :)

I same still working on the kit I keep promising – but keep getting sidetracked!  Seems like I have been designing every spare min. these past few days but not making fast progress!  Tomorow night my goal is to at least have the papers up!

Oh… and what do you think of the my new preview template?  I haven’t decided yet.. LOL I think maybe I spent too much time looking at it this weekend… hehe

You might see me more out and about visiting all the blogs I love because I finally sat down the end of the week and learned how to use google reader.  I don’t know what I ever did without it!  What a nifty little application. So, I highly recommend you learn how to use it if you like to keep up with a lot of blogs!  Don’t forget to subscribe to mine :)

Early this week I will be introducing you to my new creative team.  I still have room for a few more if anyone out there is interested.  Just email me (tootlebugz@gmail.com) or leave a comment and I will get back to you with the details.

Enough randomness… night all!

Tonight, I have the brushes I used on last nights quick page for you.  I am not going to leave them up long – so snag them while you can!  I plan to eventually move them to the store.  They are in .abr format.  I also have included the original .png files for those who don’t use Adobe products.

Tonight I am sharing a set of grungy brushes I made.  The preview for brushes is a bit difficult!  Hopefully, they show you enough so you can see what the brushes are like.  Most work really well to grunge up the edge of papers.  Hope you enjoy!  These are in Photoshop format – abr. and were made in Elements 6.  I didn’t test them in any other versions, but I imagine they should work fine.  They are quite large, as you can see,  and were made from photos I have taken.  Do what you wish with them – they are CU and can be used to make CU items – just not sold as is (as a brush!)

Tonight I am getting this posted earlier than normal.  Mainly because all the sudden I feel like I am coming down with a cold.  So, I plan to take a generous dose of medicine and go to sleep early!!  I hate colds in the winter time because they tend to aggravate my asthma which in turn makes me feel pretty crappy!  LOL

In other news, today is post number 51!  I am over 1/2 to 100.  Once I get to my 100th post I plan to do something special – I just need to come up with an idea :)

For today I did something different.  When I did the Frostee ADSD collab I made a lot of doodles for my part of the kit.  I got pretty good feedback on my stuff, so, I decided to share some Valentine’s doodle brushes tonight.  If doodles are not your  “cup of tea” make sure you visit again soon :)   You never know what I am going to post!  hehe  These doodles will be used in my upcoming kit “Candy Hearts” that I hope to have ready in early February.  (I am currently working on 3 Valentine’s themed kits, Greatest of These, Candy Hearts, and Chocolate Cherry ADSD Collab for February.)

I have included 6 doodles in the brush file.  I also have added the png’s for those who do not use Adobe products.  These are all commercial use.  Use them how you wish – just don’t sell the doodles as they are for a profit – make them your own by using them to adorn papers, add layer styles etc…  You know… just be considerate :) And I LOVE link backs if you use my stuff!  It makes me SO very happy… LOL
