Heritage Kit Voting - Textures

Thanks to everyone that voted for the metal styles for our Heritage kit. Here are the metals that won - Silver C, Gold D and Copper A (Copper was the overall favorite metal). I have added some texture and aging...I'll probably play a little more before I come up with final versions, but this gives you an idea.Now we need to decide what textures we want on the papers. I have four options below. Please leave a comment and vote for 2 (two) textures.

These are the same textures, but I have shown them with other colors in the palette and with some patterns. Normally, I apply the texture after the pattern, but in these examples the pattern was applied after the texture.
I look forward to hearing your votes! Have a great weekend!

Favorite silver style: A, B, C, or D
Favorite gold style: A, B, C, or D

Scrap Saturday Freebie & Super Saturday Sale - August 18

PALETTE A IS THE WINNER!

This is the color palette I will be using to create the Heritage kit for my blog readers.I will be back later today with some other choices for you to make, so round up your friends!
I will probably set up a poll for these votes, but I will also need you to leave a comment about what option you voted for - in case the poll is not happy about being a poll - LOL.

Don't forget today at DigibyDesign, you can get my Wednesday Girl Sampler for 50% off - just $1.50!!! If you picked up Wednesday Girl yesterday during the $3.00 Friday event at Digiscrap Boutique (and even if you didn't), you'll want to get this kit, too. These items are not in that kit - they are more fun girly things like word ribbons, a crown, some flowers - stuff not shown in the preview, too.

Ashbury and Peabody (see earlier posts to get the 3 parts of Peabody posted so far) are completely mix-and-match. They are created from the same color palette. Peabody is more sophisticated with traditional patterns. Ashbury has a more modern twist.

Just click on the word Links, and you will see the listing of all the scrap goodies I have for you.

Freebie Templates

I am learning to make templates, so you will be my guinea pigs - LOL. If you download and use these, I would love to know what you think of them and the included instructions. I want to have detailed instructions, but I need some input for programs other than Photoshop and PSE.
I'd also like to know what kind of templates you'd like to see.
These are pretty basic because I am just starting with this, and I want you to have lots of flexibility.
I want to see links to layouts made with them!!!! HINT HINT HINT


Thanks for your interest, but this freebie has been retired.

Freebie on Friday - August 17th

It's Friday - AGAIN! This week has just flown, and it is the last official summer weekend for me. I go back to work on Wednesday...but a new school year is a little exciting, so I'm not as bummed as I could be.

Since it is Friday, and I like to keep the masses happy (learned some lessons watching the Rome mini-series - LOL)...here is this week's freebie. You'll get three more papers and a handful of elements for the Peabody kit. Links for Parts 1 and 2 are still available. You just have to scroll down (quite a bit, sorry) to find them.


As always, please link only to the home page of my blog if sharing freebie news, and these files are for personal use only. Do not redistribute the files or direct link in any way. Thanks!


Thank you for your interest, but this freebie has been retired.

And, here's a layout example using Set 1. This is my DH's grandfather, grandmother and aunt in the 1940's. The font is LDJ Aunt Elizabeth. I resized the brads from the kit.
I don't post layouts on here much, do I? Well, I am working on a slide show. I will get it up one day - LOL! To be honest, I think I have time to scrap one page for every 10 kits I do...if I scrap that often. That's really sad - LOL.

Have a great day!

Just Rambling,

Marcee

New Kit and Tuesday Chat

I have a new kit in the store - Leda!!!

This kit is full of bright colors and fun patterns!

It has 12 papers and 42 elements. This is a bit of a departure for me. I don't usually use all bright colors - but I think this turned out great. I really like the elements...they took a while, but they were worth it! And, thanks to Monica Larsen and Stacy Carlson for great designer tools.

This kit will be 25% OFF at DigibyDesign on Tuesday 8/7 since it is the featured kit for the Tea for Tuesday Chat. There are attendance and posting gifts, too!
