Cranking out the sets!

I have been on a creative roll this week and last creating fun new sets for Fall & Chrismtas. Take a peek and see if any of these make your MUST HAVE list!

If you are a party planner or invitation designer, then this is a must have set! If you just love to create with fancy, elegant frames then this set is also for you. Verses and Frames provided separately as well as in a combined art file so you can mix and match the frames with other verses or stamps. These aren’t just for Halloween. Use them for photos, place cards, signs, cardmaking, scrapbooking, labels, invitations and more. Also, you can use the verses for cards, flyers, labels, party favors, etc. Simply change the brush color in your photo editing or paint program to create these frames in any color you need them to be!

Use the 4 fun bonus images to create other Halloween or border designs.

Project 365 - Days 88-97 The Creative Life Continues

After an exhausting prom weekend, I headed to bed early for much needed rest. 

Now, I am ready to share with you some more catching up on project 365 - daily creativity!

Day 88 - Volleyball Tournament Photos

Day 89 - College Memories Box

You may remember the keepsake box I made for Kylie to store momentos from her relationship with her boyfriend. I didn’t want Ashley to feel left out, so I made her a College Memories Box to store letters we send her and other favorite keepsakes from her college years at FAU. I found the box at Marshalls and decorated it to personalize it for her. It coordinates with the comforter set we bought for her dorm room.

Day 90 - Crosses for New Digi Set

I am working on a religious themed set with crosses and words for Religious events and holidays.

Here are a couple elements from that I just finished.

Day 91- Dishwasher Magnet Design Team Project for Glue Arts

You can check out a supply list, complete project instructions with additional photos on the Glue Arts blog. Scroll down to the bottom of this blog post to view the project.

Day 92 - Stained Glass Cross Art

Working on my last graphic to finish up my Faith Filled Set!

Day 93 - Faith Filled Set Completed!

With Kylie's Confirmation coming up, I got busy completing this set so I could use some of my own digi art for making cards and gifts for my small Confirmation group and Kylie’s friends.

Day 94 - Photos of the Merc

My husband’s uncle surprised us with a visit. He brought down his classic custom build 49 Mercury so to leave behind for Ashley to use for Prom and for us to enjoy for a while. I took a few pictures of it to share with everyone. It is such a cool car and I just love the paint job.

Day 95 - Eggs to go...

...actually, to go along with the Bunnies and banners that I created earlier. 

All for a new set that I am working on called Bunny Hugs n’ Wishes.

These eps and png files with solid underlayers allow them to be grouped and layered

any way you wish. They are also easy to edit and change out the colors.

Day 96- Confirmation Card

Here is a hybrid card created in Photoshop using a white brush and the stained glass cross art done ealier this week with airbrushed colors on a separate layer below. I then used a mask to contain those colors to display just behind the art. I printed out the art, mounted on card fronts and added a simple bow to each.

The verse and screened, decorative stem flourish are also from my new Faith Filled set.

Day 97 - Flower Illustrations

Spring is here and beautiful flowers inspire me so I wanted to create a set of pretty inked flowers...very clean line with beautiful details. Here are the first two sketches.

I haven’t shared many cards lately, but for you card enthusiasts, just wait for my next group of posts.

Day 98 holds a new set design that has brought about an Easter cardmaking frenzy. I am having such a blast working with my latest digi set. And for you photo enthusiasts, I have more photos to share as well.

Have a week filled with Living your Life Creatively!

A digi sale and some inspiration to fuel your DIGI CRAZE!

Digi designs are popping up in all sorts of creative uses...svg files are great to use to cut out shapes & designs for use on layouts, cards and all sorts of gifts. Pair them up with some vinyl like Glue Arts’ Car Accents™vinyl to create anything from Sports Posters to wall decor to decorating your car! These signs were featured on the Glue Arts Blog to inspire HallowTeen home crafting.

You can also print and hand cut digital designs to create paper piecings from patterned papers like the layout I posted by Susan last week. For project ideas think funky fall pumpkins and art deco skulls! My Hallowettes digi set is perfect for these types of Fall projects.

Or if you don’t have a die cutter and software to use digital designs in this way, you can create fun scrapbook layouts with one of my digital scrapbooking kits or themed digi clip art collections: Feel of Fall Paper, Love is Plentiful Kit, Antique Charm Kit, Ladybug Garden or  Peace Rocks. Patterned digital papers are great to pair up with svg shapes or digital brushes to create custom elements/designs for any crafting project.

If cardmaking and invitations are on your holiday project list, the verses and fames in these collections will help you with your designing. Use my Elegant Frames, Elegant Verses 1, Elegant Verses 2, Elegant Nameplates, Special Numbers, Hip and Happy Frames or Forever in Love Frames to create custom stationery, card sets, monogramed gifts or digitize the designs to make custom embroidered gifts.
