Freebie kit " Softly"

Hi all, 

back with the first 2 parts of "Softly" ...a previous Store kit. I picked this name because of the softer color palette used for this when I was still into the dark and Gothic.

I'm making this a short post today because I still have tons to do. As always not enough time to fit everything in I want to do :)

Right now I have 2 DVDs waiting for me to watch , after being out and about all morning , cycling , doing shopping, housework, watering and getting rid of weeds in my mini garden , picking cherry tomatoes and herbs to freeze/dry a stash for over the winter months .

Here is a layout I made with the kit.

So here are the first 2 links , 1 with papers and 1 elements . There will be 5 parts all together.

Last part of Freebie kit Natural Flair

Hi y'all  :)
Back as promised with the last part . Ahhh....it's nice to have time off work :) Right now I'm sitting here with sweet tea and having a break. Yes...sweet tea,lol. Some things don't change and Reggie definitely made some things stick. Like my love for sweet tea , Cajun food , Chillies, Jalapeños and Frank's Hot Sauce,lol.

And I've been experimenting with picture transfer on to plain fabric.
First I created the image in my design program and printed it on the transfer paper.

I was a bit skeptical whether it would transfer in this amazing image quality , but I'm a happy girl ! It came out amazing :)
I chose a plain Calico cotton shopping bag as trial project.

So with these transfer papers I can basically transfer any image I like onto plain fabric.

I'm also restoring an old blackboard and giving it a shabby look. This is the frame after 2 layers , but there's a lot more to do !

 I was recently asked "What's with all that pink? I thought you're an old goth?"
Well, yeah.... I still like my blacks and greys , but I suppose getting older has to do with it. I used to be a bit of a tomboy , but the older I got the more I was also appreciating the feminine side. I still wear a lot of black , but now I mix it with other brighter colors a lot. And from the dark Gothic look I had in my flat it has changed to lighter colors, because I cannot deny that dark colors make a small place look smaller and oppressive.
I love working with colors , and sticking to dark Gothic color schemes limits very much what you can do . And pure black can sometimes make you look older and let's face it  ...I'm not a spring chicken anymore and am fast approaching the big 50 ,lol

Anyway .... here is the last part of Natural Flair

Freebie kit Natural Flair , next 2 parts

Hi again ,
Came off night shift this morning and made the mistake of not setting an alarm .So I slept longer than I wanted to ....just hope I'll be able to sleep tonight ;)
On the bright side : I'm off work for 2 weeks now ...hoooray !!!
On the downside : Where are the Cleaning fairies when you need them? Today is a case of catching up with those cleaning chores, and the laundry ain't gonna do itself either ...

I found time the past couple of days to finish off that last project and did the matching sign to the heart tray . Happy how it turned out again with those antiquing creams.

And during a trip into town I made the most out of a sale in my bookstore ...in the coloring department. I was chuffed to pick these up for 50% off ;)

Hours of more coloring fun :)

But let me give you the next two links of Natural Flair now , before I get back to dusting and laundry.

Another folder with backgrounds and another with elements.

One more to come....I will post the last part on Sunday for you .

Do you like ABBA ?
Ville Valo from HIM did a solo project covering an ABBA song . I rather like it  :)



Till Sunday

Freebie kit "Natural Flair"

Hi again,
as promised I'm back with an older ex Store kit as freebie.

I was asked why I don't post about my cats or my son. Well, my son values his privacy and doesn't like being photographed too much for a start. But I also don't want this blog to be about family , more about art and activities ...whether it's scrapping, painting/drawing, cooking ,sewing .....anything that catches my interest really.
Shaun is well, working hard and still enjoying his biggest love -motor biking.I probably get a chance for some pictures when we're on vacation soon ,lol.

The cats are now 17 (the 2 oldest) and 16 (the daughter of the two) years old and still going strong . Here they are all together snoozing on the sofa. How the hell did I ever survive with just one sofa all these years? Most of the time they take over both of them now,lol. They have mellowed down a lot, don't jump as much and high and sleep more , but still healthy

And I said I would take a few pic of my little gardening project.

That's actually potatoes in the large pot , and thyme,sage and rosemary in the small one.

I forgot what seeds I have planted here,lol.... just have to wait and see...

There is a small passion flower which I want to grow along the wall, Some lavender , chives and parsley ,plus another tomato plant I still have to get into a larger container. More pics coming,lol.


I've been antiquing a heart shaped tray and busy working on sign with quote as well. Not finished quite yet but here's a little look on what I did so far.

Painted and some decoupage, but more to do....
Anyway...here is the freebie I'm giving away . The first two parts today and then the rest coming in the next 2 posts.
It contains 18 backgrounds and 36 elements , so quite a large kit.

Here is a preview and layout I made with it, first two links under the layout.

Backgrounds http://www.mediafire.com/download/9ywr3973621b1l3/sr_naturalflair1.zip
and some elements http://www.mediafire.com/download/9o2q3yjv0bhv3i8/sr_naturalflair3.zip

I lost the folder with all the detailed previews in , so sorry for not showing all the papers and elements in separate previews. But I try to make a qp with each post to show a bit more. Enjoy :)

And now I have to start getting ready , cook dinner etc because I have to do this " work thing" later ,lol.
For my friends in USA -Have a nice Independence day weekend ! :)
