I finally got “Green With Envy” uploaded and in the stores!  So, to celebrate, I am giving away a little add-on tonight.  These are personal use only and match the other elements in my Green With Envy kit.

You can purchase the kit from Michelle’s Angels or The Creativity Box.

Tonight, I have the result of my attempt to learn to make a bow!  For a first attempt, its not bad – but more practice will improve my skills.  I’d much rather spend an hour making a bow in Photoshop than extracting one!  Me and those marching ants are not good buddies…. The bow matches my March Days Kit that’s in stores now. I included 2 versions – one with a custom shadow and one without. Both are 300dpi, png files.

—–Download Tbugz March Days Freebie Bow—–

Also, a reminder that it’s Wacky Wednesday at The Creativity Box – all my stuff (And that of several other designers) is 50% off for the day!  It would be a great time to sang the March Days kit at an awesome price (hint!)

This is a whimsical quick page that I though you all might like.  It shows some of my new crayon brushes.  Look for more about them in the next few days.

**Link now fixed… there is a reason why posting at 3am is a bad idea… LOL  Sorry guys, I left part of the URL off, oops….**

I made this using my new kit, March Days. (Which can be purchased at Michelle’s Angels or The Creativity Box)  The kit is PU, but the frame is a CU gift to you!  Use it in your kits if you wish.  Someone left a comment the other day asking about my TOU.  I do have one and always add it to my kits for sale and sometimes remember to add it to my freebies.  (oops, sorry guys!)  It’s really simple – if it’s CU then you can pretty much do as you please… you just can’t resell an overlay as an overlay, a brush as a brush etc.  On elements just don’t package up a set of my stuff and resell – add it to your kits, personalize it etc.  make it yours :)   (Recolors ok) Anyhow, I hope to have tab added with my CU here on my blog soon… it’s on my “to do” list (Which seems like it’s miles and miles long!)

***Note – new zip files have been uploaded! (as of March 1 2:00 pm EST.)  Sorry about the corrupt files – not sure what happened! PLEASE delete the ones you couldn’t open and re-download!***

It’s that time of the month again… time for the ADSD blog train!!  So, get comfy, grab a drink and find something for the kids to do… YOU will be busy for a while!  This month there are 55 stops!

For my part of the blog train I have a mini kit with 4 papers and something new – another paper with some elements already in place on the edges… Let me know if you like the concept!  The preview shows most of the elements – but variations are not show.  Some have custom shadows.  I also have 2 quick pages – enjoy!

Tonight I am sharing the frames to my Minty Fresh Spring kit.  This finishes up this kit and I will be offering you something new tomorrow…  You will have to come back to see what :)

Not all the frames are shown.  All are made by me.  The only CU item is the ribbon that was “tied” using an action and wrapped by me.

This afternoon I have the elements from the Minty Fresh Spring kit to share. For these I used CU freebies from Scrappin Cop (flower and leaf), and purchased CU items from Rachaels Scraps (stitches), Christine Smith (the satin ribbons) and Pri Rocha Designs (bow and string on top of buttons.) The butterflies and gems were made by me as well as the glitters, stitched ribbon, buttons and glass elements. (Using Atomic Cupcakes wonderful actions!) On the papers the textures were all done by me using images and brushes.

I am so excited. Angie, over at IkeaGoddess listed me in her freebie list today :) She has the best blog – it’s one of the few I visit daily without fail. She only lists a handful of freebies a day – so, it’s an honor to be on that list!

Today, I worked some more on the Minty Fresh Kit and will have the elements ready for you tomorrow. For tonight, I have a quick page plopper. Hope you enjoy and can use it! It’s a png 12 x 12, 300 dpi file. All you have to do is add your pictures behind the frame and add text or the date on the folder tab. If you want more text space it’s easy to use one of the frames for that! Just add the text on top of the background papers… easy. As always, personal use only! (S4H ok)
