Sorry it’s taken me so long to fix them. I didn’t realize the files had been deleted. I have no idea how that happened, but I’m reuploading them to 4shared and editing the links on the safari kit and the butterfly princess kit. If you’ve tried to download them go ahead and try again. They should be right by the end of tonight.

New layout I made
May 22, 2009 · 1 Comment
I made this page for a challenge over at Justmommies digital scrapbook forum. This isn’t using one of my kits, but I like using other people’s stuff too. This was a movie theme challenge. I had fun with this one so figured I’d share it. Glad to be back scrapping again.

Summer Garden Sampler Freebie
May 21, 2009 · 8 Comments
I am designing again! Yay! And I’ve found a home. I’m looking for a second shop, but have decided to start designing for my mom’s shop. She’s got a small shop, but I decided I would add my kits to her site. Anyhow to kick off my designing again I am giving out a freebie sampler of my newest kit. This sampler will be available for the rest of May. That should give people plenty of time to download the sampler. I included 5 papers and all elements shown in the sampler.
Download link:
Summer Garden Sampler Digital Scrapbook Freebie

Long time no blog
April 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Sorry I have all but abandoned my blog. I have been super busy and just haven’t been scrapping lately. I am training for my first marathon – see my other blog if you’re interested in following that http://mamawantsasixpack.wordpress.com. Anyhow, I am going to try and get some stuff done on this blog soon. Maybe some more freebies. We’ll see. I am very sorry about some of the kits not being able to download. I haven’t had time to look into that. I uploaded everything to 4shared ages ago. I will have to look and see on those. I am going to give it my best effort to make some pages or something in the next week. Stay tuned from me.

Using a template in Paint Shop Pro
September 6, 2008 · 16 Comments
I decided to write up this tutorial after seeing this question asked for the 1000th time and no really easy tutorials on it.
Step 1
Open your template. For the sake of this tutorial I will assume it is a layered PSD file, but will discuss how to do it without a layered psd file at the end of the tutorial.
Once your template is open you will see all the various layers in your layer palette. We are going to start with one of the elements in our template. In my template I have a star your template may have whatever, but anyhow this is how you do it.
Make sure you selected the star layer in your layer palette and then go to the magic wand tool to select the star.
Then click on the star layer with your magic wand tool to select it.
Leave your star still selected in your template file and then open up the paper you want to use and then choose Edit > Copy to copy it and then go back to your template and choose Edit > Paste as new layer.
You should automatically be on the new layer with your paper and star still selected, but if your not just make sure you select the paper layer in the layer palette. Then all you have to do is go to the top and choose Selections > Inverse and then hit the delete key and voila you have a star with your patterned paper!
You can then just delete the original star from the template since your done with it. Deselect your star and repeat this process with each layer in your template.
NOTE: As I stated above I said I’d mention what you had to do if you didn’t have a layered PSD file for your template. If your template comes in seperate png files you will have to create a new file and Edit > Copy, then Edit > Paste to copy each layer into the new file. You will then have to move the pieces around to get them in the right place and then follow all the rest of the steps for this tutorial.
