Preview of a new font--and kit!

Whatcha think? The font will be available only in the eponymous kit for a while, though eventually it will be another free font (I'm waiting to see what dafont.com does with it--they just accepted Jump, Painted, and Painted Messy, so it might take them a while to get to their next batch).

Template Tuesdays (Freebie Template)

Gee, what happened to the weekend? And to Monday, for that matter??? Well, it's still Tuesday my time, and here's the 7th template. Hope you enjoy it! Just click on the preview to download, and I'd love to read your comments!

Scrap Masks, new @ MScraps!

Hi guys! New this week are a series of fabric bits called Scrap Masks that you can use as photo masks to produce some pretty cool texture effects!





I've also included a cheater sheet of hints to help you get the most out of them in terms of retaining dimensional appearances.

Here are some wonderful CT layouts:

 The new Scrap Masks are so much fun to play with, so I hope you get a chance to check them out! Have a wonderful weekend, too! =)

I've been Etsy-ized!

Yup, now selling cards & original drawings at my Etsy shop (which I've had since 2006, can you believe it? Probably the only reason I actually got "heathert" as my shop name!). I will be selling prints, too--both on photo paper, and on archival-quality art paper--in a couple of weeks. It just takes a while to get those printed.

Come check it out: Ooh la la, Artsy! Shop!

Two of my favorites Kingfisher, and Cityscape:

Template Tuesdays (Freebie Template)

I know, seems like I haven't been around much--but I've been drawing. =) Which is always good for kits down the line... ;)

I think it's still Tuesday! Here's a multiple photo template for you, and the layout I made... Click on the template pic to download! And thanks for stopping by!

And the full layout:

Template Tuesdays (Freebie Template)

Hi gang--another Tuesday rolls around! This time I thought I'd go clean on ya. If you haven't tried that style yet, this is your perfect chance to give it a go! Just add a photo, journaling, place and date, and one embellishment, and you're good to go. Click on the image to download, and check out my layout using the template while you wait! And have a wonderful Tuesday, too! =)

Just a little trick that I used which you might find interesting: I first colored the mask, then clipped the photo to it, and lightly erased the edges of the photo so the color of the mask could show through. I think it adds to the softness of the page.

Also, in the template you'll find a bar of white that goes behind the wordart--that was just because the color I used didn't stand out too well over the photo. So feel free to hide or not use that layer if you want something even cleaner!

Most recent drawing: Kingfisher

 

Copic Multiliner & markers on Neenah paper. White from Sakura Glaze Gelly Roll, Hybrid Gel Grip, and white acrylic paint.

Free Font: Jump Add-On!

Hehehee... Remember my Jump kit?

Made the wordart into a font! It's only the caps, plus a dash, a question mark, and an exclamation mark, but that should allow you to make any alphas you'd want... Click to download!
