Back with more designs

Hi again,
I finally got some more pieces for the kit done.
I spent the weekend relaxing , being online with Reggie and catching up as always with work in here.
But I also got some work done on the altered box.
After it was "wall papered" I attached some lace at the top...
....some tags and a pressed autumn leave as decoration.
Plus add a little rose deco, buttons, a cameo and some bows , and the whole lot looks a lot better than before.
I also transformed a plain notebook into a decorative journal book.

But now to designs. I have a background , bow and another journal/tag for you.

The colors that inspired this kit are those of a sunny Fall Day with blue skies.Here are the links

Yippieeee...I got Mediafire working this morning,lol

I'm back to work tomorrow and have a long week with 12 hour shifts in front of me , so not sure how often I can post more , but I promise more will be coming.
Also, it's Reggie's birthday tomorrow,and he's taking the day off work. So after I come home from my shift I will obviously spending time with him on Skype.
I think I will be able to post more when I start my night shifts on Friday. So till then ...

Another day with downloads

Good morning again,
...work often gets in the way of things, so I only have 2 more pieces to give away in the moment.I'm not sure how much time I will have tomorrow as I also have meeting to attend before my regular shift starts.So it will be a 10 hour work day for me. Add onto that , that I will have double traveling time because I have to go in the afternoon , then home and then back to work again.So I might need a couple of days to design more and add to the stash of the Autumn kit.

But here is the first change to box I am also working on. First step of  redecorating is a good wallpaper. So I had to cover it in some gorgeous scrapbook paper.

It's standing here now and waiting for the glue and paper to dry, and I will carry on adding to it tomorrow.

Kyra , your comment made me laugh , yes, one of me is enough as well,lol.

Creating is part of my "relaxing time" , we often have so much stress and are so busy, you have to find something to do that you enjoy and keeps you sane  ...as far as sane goes ...uhmmm, yeah.... I better not go too much into that ...:)

But even behind this , my influence is Reggie.I have a lot of Tarot cards , candles and other things stuffed into 3 ugly boxes. I won't be able to take it all when the time comes. But I can sort out my favorites from those 3 boxes , store them in this smaller pretty box and take it in my suitcase. So in a way, you could say this will be my traveling/moving box.

Anyway....I have to get ready for work again, time goes far to quick in this case.
Here are today's downloads
Watercolor paper http://www.4shared.com/photo/_j31Ob7F/srautumn2013_10.html
Tag /card  http://www.4shared.com/photo/0PkQ8g40/srautumn2013_card.html
...and I really like 4shared better than mediafire, faster uploads and less hassle ! Mediafire wouldn't work for me yet again.
Till next post.... not 100 % sure when I can create more, but I only have 2 more shifts to do before I have a little time off again.

More freebies :)

Hi all, hope you all had a wonderful weekend. For me it was an extended one as I had Monday off as well.
I spent most of the time with Reggie online , but also did some crafting.

I came across the picture of some hand sewn stuffed pumpkins and they looked to cute, I had to try and make one myself.
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/60165344995264834/

So I got my supplies out and got busy. This is my own version.

My next project will be an altered box .I'm planning to transform this plain red one into a work of art. Over the time I will post some pics of the process.

But now downloads. I had mega problems with mediafire again this morning, so I could only upload them to 4shared. I will keep trying to get them into the usual folder , but for the time being this will have to do.

More Vintage Halloween for Beautiful Autumn

Hi again
oh damn, I slept longer than I wanted to ! Last night Reggie said to call him in the morning before he heads off to work, so I stayed up a little while after I finished my night shift , skyped him this morning and then went to sleep when he headed off to work. When I woke up and looked at the time it was already 4.30 pm,lol.
Guess that was my bodies way of telling me it needed the rest.
Well ,I am having a lazy day with plenty of coffee .... I played with my friends on Wartune a bit, then opened my design program and made a few more pieces for the kit.
So now I have two more downloads for you. And after posting this it's time to make something to eat, because my stomach is growling and telling me it wants to be fed.
I only have a couple of hours until Reggie will be home from his 10 hour shift , and then we'll hook up on Skype again while we play our online game a bit more.
So here are the new pieces for today....
as always
Hugs
Snowy

Beautiful Autumn Vintage Halloween Background

Hello again,
did I fail to mention that this kit will also include matching Halloween and Thanksgiving parts?
Well, now you know ,lol.

Not much going on today , I slept half the day after working my first night shift, had a relaxing and warming bubble bath and now going to eat something and then another short nap before my next shift starts.
The weather here has gone horrible, it rainy and wet, very windy and the temperature dropped .... the rate it's going I will have to turn the heating on soon.
Reggie said last night" Not long and you here.We have lovely sunny weather still and temperatures in the upper 80ies.I hope we have such nice days while you are here"
Yeah, I hope so as well.We have walks to the river and creek planned.

Anyway , here is today's download

Autumn Watercolour , gradient backgrounds and elements

Hi all,
it's a night shift day....which means I have the day to do what I like before I start tonight. Nice :)  So I was busy creating a few more pieces for this Autumn kit.
Loved to see a comment from friend Edna this morning as well. Yes, I'm sort of back. Not quite as active as I used to when it comes to designing , but as and when the mood strikes me,lol.

I like to do lots of different things and usually have a few projects on the go at the same time. Oh yes, -and Reggie is going to teach me to play guitar. I told him I would love to learn and see if I'm any good at it. He has more than one guitar in his home and played for years , even in his own band.This is one of his pics showing his guitar collection.

I always loved music and used to play flute when I was a young girl. That's a long time ago, but I still know the basic notes, so I can build up on that again.

Have you got some ugly vase standing around which doesn't quite fit into your decor anymore?
I had this lime green one that didn't fit my color scheme anymore after I redecorated the living room. 
But that's easily fixed. One take a piece of material , in my case burlap and a few decorations,and elastic band or ribbon, one hot glue gun and get busy.

Anyway.... here are the backgrounds

And some elements ...

Autumn Vintage Ornament http://www.mediafire.com/view/7618k2ntd2b469c/sr_autumn2013_ornament.png
I will carry on adding to this kit, so watch out for posts with download links.

Next piece of Beautiful Autumn

Good morning again,lol
yes, Kyra...I have kept that sense humor. If anything it has multiplied .... That man of mine is just a bad influence on me (he says that himself ).

In the moment I'm working shifts again, so not much time to get a lot done.But I worked on a couple of pieces to extend the kit.
This is what is ready so far. I added another back ground and a journal page, but Mediafire is being a pain in the ass and won't let me upload the journal page, so I will keep trying and post the link tomorrow
Background 2 link: http://www.mediafire.com/view/s6a2979tn2u596g/srautum2013b.jpg
...or if you want to go straight to the whole folder , here is the folder link http://www.mediafire.com/?vzc7z7yaucpjj

And now Master Reggie is awake and requires my attention ,lol... so until tomorrow .
Hugs Snow :)

..."sulks" ....I've been told off ,lol

Oh dear, just come back to my blog and have promptly been told off severely by Kyra for disappearing such a long time,lol. She writes among other things :
Oh, you are alive still LOL! I was wondering what happened to you! Don;t you ever leave for such a long time from the internet, you hear!
Oh, you've made my day today! Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw in my bloglist that you had pasted again on your blog LOL.
You are okay and doing well, that is the most important thing.
Have a wonderful weekend sweetie.
Kyra

"Hangs head in shame" ... yeah, it's was a long time, but I had neither the time nor the inspiration to design anything. 
I spend every free minute I can with Reggie online as we can't be together in person and work commitments take a lot of our time away.
He and Shaun come first in my life.
But here a few more pics of what I have been up to.Roses always make great photo objects :) And these were just too cute .

Now something to make you chuckle. This was Reggie's idea. I got this Wall Decal on my last visit when we were browsing through Michael's . I planned on giving my bathroom a new look and when we saw this and Reg came out with the idea , I just knew I had to do it.I made a canvas sign to hang above the toilet ....notice the Febreze Air freshener is strategically placed by the sign above the toilet,lol..... we don't want any business to take your breath away, hehehehe....

Anyway, I have a tag freebie to go with the growing kit I work on.Png format , to either use for digi srap or to print out.

A long time.....

...since I last posted here. Hello all :)
I've been so busy with other things the past months.
For a start I was in Germany this summer for a long overdue visit to my parents and relatives there.
It was so nice to see everybody again and visit places where I grew up. And of cause the food...yummm.
I couldn't believe the old Italian Ice Cream Parlor was still there.Of cause I had to sit down and indulge in one.

My mum's garden is fantastic, but instead of picking the berries I probably ate more than putting them into the bag.
And her roses are lovely !

And of cause a visit to the Castle, with a beautiful view over the town.

Apart from that I have been busy to sort through my things here and get everything reduced to at least half the amount. From 4 folders with Scrap paper I am now down to a single one , a lot of books have disappeared from my shelves, more clothing has gone to the charity shop .....and I'm not done yet ! This will be an ongoing project until it's time to move. I can't take much with me.
Yes, I am still happy and in love with that amazing guy called Reggie. Only 10 weeks and I will be flying across to him again.
Currently I'm working on a hybrid Scrapbook /Art Journal with lots of inside pockets to store all the memorabilia from my journeys across.

This year I will be there for Thanksgiving , so I need some Autumn papers and elements.
I just made the first background to print out and put into my book.
And if you like it, here is the download link for it
http://www.mediafire.com/download/iecm60mfc0ym2fi/SRautumn2013a.jpg

I will be working on some tags and pockets , and some more backgrounds next.
But now it's time to get ready and get some work in here done before my late shift starts.
Hugs
Snowy :)

Better late than never ,lol...Happy Valentines

Hey all,
I know, I know...I'm late with the freebie parts.
The days at work were busy, plus I have a new job,lol. No, I still work at the same place, but Reggie got me into playing Wartunes (a Fantasy Strategy game) where you join a Guild. And he made me Guild Officer.
Normal couples do things together , we are limited to what we can do. So we play together in the evenings while we talk chat via Web cam, and my job is also to recruit new Guild members,lol.
It's definitely fun.
Plus more cleaning here and catching up to do...the days just flew by so fast. But now that I'm off work a few days I finally find the time to post.

I have designed a bit more....

And last night I got into an extremely good mood despite being tired from night shift.....thanks to this pretty bottle
...my kid of Valentines celebration while playing and taking to Reggie.

Last year on this day a very good friend, amazing and sexy guy sent me this picture via e-mail , which started everything.(this is just typical for his kind of twisted humour)

So it's not only Valentines Day, but the 1st Valentines Anniversary for us.One year has gone so fast !

Anyway, I will have more pics to show next post, for today I will just post the last parts.
Here they are

New Freebie and Blessed Imbolc

Hello all,
Did you hear the news from the Scrapping World?
Divine Digital is closing down I was told and Scrap it Sassy has also closed it's doors. It's a shame that 2 sites which have been in the Scrapping Community for years won't be there anymore. But hey, that makes room for the little site I want open. And to tell you the truth,I didn't buy much there because some of these sites were just too expensive. Nobody can afford to pay a lot these days.
Yeah, okay- designers will argue that we have to live as well , but why pay a lot when there are lots of freebie sites around?
Maybe if they would have made stuff a little bit more affordable people who like a certain Designer's style or theme would have been willing to spend a little and the sites could have survived? I don't know.
I like giving freebies , but with the planned move, having to pay all the fees for Visa, travelling costs etc I also need to save every penny I can get. But I would never charge unfair prices for my designs. I like to think when I finally do offer kits for sale again, that the quality and quantity will be worth the price I ask. And there will still be freebies as well.

We think we might have found a name for the site.....but I am not going to reveal more yet, apart from that two well known Designers , who are "old school" and have been known in the Scrappers community for years (maybe even longer than I have) are on board with me. It's going to be a partnership. More in time......

I have an order for three Dreamcatchers , so that keeps me busy in the moment. One is ready, for a little girl who wanted a pink, black and white one. I hope that it will help and her nightmares will stop.

I already did my Spring cleaning in time for Imbolc -which is on the 2nd of Feb, tomorrow. I have also been busy with some Valentines surprises, packed the parcel for Reggie (ready to be sent)and planted my seeds for the season and waiting for my new herbs to grow.

 With all this there wasn't much time for designing or scrapping last week. But I dug out a new freebie for you. I'm giving you -how fitting is this? - Imbolc , an ex store kit with 21 papers and 27 elements.Here the first two links- part 1 and 3 , one with papers and one with elements.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?b17kfo379oun73n

Enjoy ! :)
And for now have a blessed and Happy Imbolc

Hugs Snowy  :)
