"Blue Moon" Blog Freebie

Ok
I know its been a very very long time i posted a freebie. Have been really really occupied with some family matters and designing for the two shops where i am a designer. Just not getting enough time to design much with a toddler running around and cooking meals 3 times a day! The only time i get to design is when shes asleep. Moreover, have been getting loads of guests lately. Tomorrow again will have my sis-in-law for like 1-2 weeks. Will be cooking all the time i guess. I hardly cook for myself when alone really. I can survive without food, but not without my PC LOL... And i am sure so is the case with most of the scrappers and designers out there.




So here is a mini kit freebie called Blue Moon for the freebie hunters. Its has:

3 papers
1 laced ribbon
1 doodled arrow
1 doodled swirl
1 film strip frame
1 date tab

Grab it here. Hope you like it! The preview in the zip file doesnt show the doodled arrow coz i forgot to add it while making the preview. Saw it missing only after the pic uploaded here. And i had already uploaded the folder to 4shared, hence didnt update it there. The zip includes its png for sure so dont you worry ^_^.
Dont forget to leave some love :-D.

Sorry! This freebie has expired.

Doodles now in shoppe

OK
So as promised, finally i am up with some doodles. Well actually that wasnt EXACTLY the promise. I promised a whole KIT with some doodles, but looks like 1 got 3 packs only of doodles! Who doesnt like giving some personalized look to their LOs?? So here i am with 2 packs of arrows and one pack of semi-colored doodles. First, a quick look at LO i did with the Doodlee-Doo doodles and one of my papers from Rising sun Paper pack, only at ScrappyThoughts.


Thats our lil daughter at her photo shoot. Well, we went to this HUGE shopping mall where an agent from a kids modeling agency approached us and told us how suitable Hiba would be for a TV commercial or 2. We didn't, and are still not taking it too seriously.. i don't know why.. but we did go for a photo shoot to get her portfolios done... well that was the basic requirement of the agency, but we mostly got it done for US! Our memory. We never had any professionally done photos of our daughter. And shes too cute to not have one i bet! Got plenty of her pics these days to scrap, so will be using them mostly for my LOs. All the elements are from the Doodlee Doo doodles pack. Lace is yet to come in the shoppe... I know ^_^ i was too impatient to wait and used it already! hehe.



Doodlee-doo only for $1.99. Grab it here.

Doodled Arrows only for $1.99. Grab it here.


Part 2, only for $1.50. Grab it here.

Bubblegum Story Rewritten at 50% off!

Hi all
I was a bit not too satisfied with what I did with my Bubblegum Story paper pack. So i replaced four of its papers. And its has 50% off till next Wednesday.. i.e. 23rd July. They are all highly textured and suitable for printing. Will be posting a freebie from it later this evening.



Along with this, I am also looking for a quality checker for my products. Benefits will be unbelievable. The only qualification for the same is, you must be on a CT of at least one designer and have any number of galleries UP TO DATE. Is anyone interested? Pls mail me asap with the link to your Gallery and the designer's blog/shoppe that you are a CT at.

Have fun
Keep Scrapping..

I am not a very goo LO designer, but keep trying my hand at it. I find ksharonk's LOs very inspiring. And yes i like it clean and simple mostly. Maybe thats why i find her LOs inspiring. Nothing hotch-potch.
Do comment how you liked my LOs. I just checked my comments in the "Chit-chat" on the side and found that i have been awarded by EyeSpyDesigns. Apparently i have to award 7 other blogs. So heres my list.. Its mostly our design team at Scrappythoughts..

Tamara
Tanja
Meetje
Wendy
Shelli
Lois
Jaya

Wow! we are exactly 7! I hadn't realized it by now. 7 is my lucky no :D. Not that its gonna be 7 forever on the team, but at least for now.. I am LUCKY!!

See ya all around..

NO I am not a bad blogger, its just been that my internet has been really troublesome coz of rains, hence i am not able to update it frequently. And I think its going to be like this till monsoon ends...i.e. till september sigh!

Anyways.. heres what our CT member Shelli came up with ..


Papers are from my "Firewithin" paper pack, Tag from my part of "Curiosity" mega kit. Not sure of the bow.. but i am guess its by Tamara.


The 2 bg papers are from my "Bubblegum Story" paper pack, and Elements from my "Curiosity" mega kit.

30% Sale till Friday

Hi all
I was just looking at my older.. first few paper works and compared them with the ones now..i mean the ones now in shoppe... and honestly i am embarrassed about the textures i used on those (old ones). I was still learning things and was an amateur back then. Now that i have learned how to make high resolution textures, i wish i could do something to make up for the loss.. for all those who dloaded my first few works, printed it and ended up with a kind of messy texture. So the good news is, we are having a 30% off on the whole SHOPPE!! Thats right! The WHOLE shoppe but only till FRIDAY! So hurry. Buy anything you want at 30% off. Along with that i thought i could give you a closer look at my latest work to assure you that they all are perfect for printing. I am pasting one sample from each paper pack at 100% zoom. I think i should do it every time I have something new in shoppe.

FireWithin Paper pack

Rising Sun Patterned and solid


Bubblegum Story
The Lost Ball
I hope its clear enough in the preview... I guess i am yet to learn how to make a better preview :-(.

Rising Sun papers in Shoppe and a freebie...

YAY!~
i LOOOOVVEEE those star/sun burst papers. And hence, i made 2 WHOLE packs of the same. One for the shoppe and another for the contest freebie. The contest freebie is not done yet. But will finish it by tomorrow most probably ... if Hiba lets me sit on the PC for more than 15 mins together :P. Here is a preview of my latest work.



TO make the total an odd number, i have added a bonus deep red Rising Sun paper. I know.. Superstitious me :D. Total of 13 papers and it costs just $3.50. They all are high resolution papers.. perfect for printing! Hope you like it :-D!

Freebie hunters, dont you worry. I have a lil something for you all too. Its Laced semi solid part 2. The lace i've used in this one is different from the previous part. I really hope you like it. Try sending me your work as well. Its the best part of designing actually.. to see someone use it.


See ya around
Ciao

The MEGA Collab kit that i have been talking of all this time is finally up in the shoppe. Here is a preview of the whole kit.




And here is my part of the collab. Click in the preview for a better look.



The blue flower that you see above is actually lace bordered which apparently is not clear enough in the preview. I am i guess more bothered about the final image size. To keep it small, i mess up with the resolution for previews. i need to work on it "mentally" :-D.
