Productivity Overdrive!

Well, May was a HUGELY BUSY month for me. I had to finish (well, start and finish) a 5'x18" banner for a Midsummer Masquerade fundraiser ball in town. It's been sooooooooo long since I've painted on canvas--I was really scared to start! The 2nd day was the worst, but on the last day I suddenly hit my groove, and the whole thing turned out ok. (You can see it on the fundraiser auction website here.) Plus, I was busy making TWO free kits for 2 different scrapping sites. More on those later in June! So then I figured that if I was going to be featured in June, I should probably have some new stuff in my shops... and *boom!* Creativity happened!

So, I have a new kit for you called Flying Colors (I'd polled my fans on Facebook about whether "Tickled Pink" or "Flying Colors" caught their fancy more, and the latter won). It's nominally about graduation from any grade, but also of course about that exciting and fearful time of change, when you don't really know what's going to happen next... I had to show the brushes, and the word art, separately (click on them to see them full size), cuz of course the kit is huge!

And this, is a coordinating freebie!!

 

  Not only all that, but I also participated in the MScraps Memory Mix collection, where you can get mix and match pieces for either $1 or $2, depending on how full the packs are. Mine's a delightful collection of beach-themed brushes called Sunsplashed, taken from photographs of my own wanderings, of course!

And furthermore, while I was coming up with my little bead scatters for the Flying Colors kit, I just went ahead and extracted a whole BUNCH of beads, and put them in my commercial use shop (though they're good for CU or PU!):

I will leave you to imagine how long it took to use the pen tool to extract all those babies. Heh.

So there you go! And the end of school is approaching, which means I have less and less to do each day as Allen claws his way through the end of the curriculum--and for me, that means MORE TIME! Can't wait for summer vacation!

Hope everybody has a wonderful weekend playing. =)

WAHOO! iNSD is here!

I so love to just burn through all the challenges and make zillions of pages on these weekends... *happy sigh* And hopefully you do too! I have a global 50% sale going on both at the Commercial Use store, and the Personal Use store. So if you need extra goodies, you know where to go! Plus, I have a couple of freebies for you as well! You can pick them up on my Design by Heather T. Facebook page, or scroll down.

Happy new week!

Happy InterNational Scrapbooking Day Weekend!

Phew, there are so many things going on @ MScraps that I can barely keep up! Sales (my products are off anywhere from 30-50%, plus there's a Free With Purchase of mine going on, as well as the store's), challenges, and a blog hop train! I sure hope you have lots of fun--I intend to scrap my fool head off!

Here's the blog train portion! If you get lost, just check out the list on the MScraps forum. You should have come from France: http://acanuckinoz.blogspot.com/, and you'll next go to Helen: http://helens-art.blogspot.com/ . You'll collect a gorgeous kit if you pick up all the parts--I just love this color scheme, and the designers went crazy! Just click on the image below to start the download:

  Have a wonderful time this weekend!!

Another free font for ya... Alphabits Squared!

This is a fun little font! You can find it at Dafont.com, along with my other ones. I've got quite a little collection over there by now--12 of them!

Collaborative Kit Freebie!

Anita of Anita Designs and I collaborated to make you this gorgeous mini-kit, just because we love you guys and hope you get some "Me Time" to yourselves this weekend!

It's big enough that we had to separate elements and papers: 

Hope you enjoy it, and we'd love to read some comments, too--that always makes our day!

Font Freebie: Alphabits!

3 fonts in the Alphabits family: regular, light, and fat. You can get them at dafont.com!

As always, these fonts are free for personal and commercial use, but they may under no conditions be resold, even as part of a compilation, and if redistributed, MUST be accompanied by the original TOU. This is my way of paying back the design community for its generosity in many areas, whether it's for fonts, brushes, or textures.

MScraps 2nd Birthday - Blog Hop!

Hi gang! Welcome to my part of MScraps' 2nd birthday blog hop! If you collect all the pieces, you get this fun Birthday Party kit!

You should have just come from France's blog. My part is here (just click on the image to download the part):

and after me, you should be going to Helen's blog. If you run into trouble, just head over to MScraps to get your bearings!

Sunshine Poppy, Version 2!

I've updated my Sunshine Poppy font at the request of a user to include common European diacritical marks. The font itself has been slightly thickened, and the numbers reworked a bit to make them closer to the thickness of the letters. This file has the same name as the old, so if you install it it should write right over the old one.

The updated version should be at dafont.com whenever they do their next mass updating. Enjoy! ETA: Oh! It's there already! http://www.dafont.com/sunshine-poppy.font

Tuesday Template 17 Freebie!

This'll be my last one before the 25th--but I hope you enjoy it! Made my layout with my newest products coming out this Friday: Diamond Ice, and WaterMonths (this one is actually different from the one in the element pack). Hope you have an awesome week! Just click on the preview to download the freebie. And please do leave a comment or two if you like it--and link me up to your layouts!

My layout:

The freebie:

It's Tuesday--and here's a Template!

A new template, sort of a holiday greeting card, if you wish... Click here for the .png's, or on the image below for the .psd (shadowless) & .tif (shadowed) file.

 

Made everything with Home & Hearth (did you know there's a freebie add-on you can get at the MScraps FaceBook page?):

Hope you can enjoy it!

Oh--and 50% @ MScraps today for Tickle Your Tuesday, my AlphaTemplates!

Happy Tuesday!

2 Free Fonts: Home & Hearth

So, to make the alpha included in the Home & Hearth kit, I had to make a font, and then a display font (3 days of work!!). And here they are! The display font is better for titles or alphas; the plain font is a very legible print font, especially if you're using a program that has kerning enabled. Just click on the images to download the font folders!

These fonts are free for personal and commercial use (I do like to see what you do with them, though, and they may not be resold as is, nor included in any compilation without the accompanying TOU). The fonts I make are my way of repaying the design community for freebies that I've found online too. Thanks for sharing, you guys!

I'll be submitting these to dafont.com too, where you can find my other free fonts. Let me know if you like them!

It's Tuesday!

Our 50% sale is on over @ MScraps (Quiet Play, this week, for me), plus, here's your freebie template! PNG files can be downloaded here; for the .psd and .tif, just click on the preview. Sorry it's a bit big, but there's a lot of brushwork and transparency...

Everything in my layout uses my Golden Moments kit.

MScraps iDSD Blog Hop: For the Love of Scrapbooking

Hahaaaaaaa! MScraps is having another of their Facebook/blog hops--and here is my part! You should have come here from France's blog, and your next stop will be Helen's blog. All the parts together will make up a beautiful kit, For the Love of Scrapbooking--so don't miss any of the links! If you get lost, just visit MScraps's forum to get re-oriented... Click on this link to pick up my part: 

Template Tuesdays 14 (Freebie Template)

Hey, lookit that--I haven't gone to bed yet, so it must still be Tuesday. =)

I based this week's template on a layout I made tonight with my Just Because kit (coming soon to a MScraps near you!). It's got so many layers I made a separate file for just the .pngs: download that one here. For the regular .psd (no shadows) and .tiff (shadows) files, click on the preview beneath to download the templates:

And here's the layout I made:

 

 

Have a great Wednesday everybody!
