October 2022 Blog Hop = Freebies Galore!

UPDATE 10/16/22: Blog Hop has officially ended.  The papers that were previously part of the blog hop freebie are now included in the full Fall Best of All kit, available for purchase in my shop! 

I'm excited to announce that I was asked to be a part of a blog hop featuring some absolutely amazing and talented independent scrapbook designers!

What does this mean for you? To put it mildly: FREE STUFF!

Each of the designers involved in this blog hop have created some freebies for you in an array of awesome fall-inspired colors! 

Some of the designers have created digital templates, some have created papers, others made elements, journaling cards, stickers-- you name it, this blog hop probably has it!

If you've been following the hop, you most likely arrived here from Rosy Cheek Design.

And after you've snagged my freebie (available Oct 1-15), you can be on your way to Dea's Designs to pick up even more goodies there!

If you've gotten lost somewhere along the way, head back to the Independent Digital Scrapbooking Designers Guild main page for the complete list of all the shops included in this blog hop.

My portion of the blog hop is this collection of  12x12 digital papers in 5 fun, fall flannel-inspired and 5 polka dot designs:

And if you like this freebie, I have a whole kit with over 30 additional papers, plus pocket cards and stickers, too! I'm calling this kit, Fall Best of All, and you can click the link to find it in my shop.  

Digital Papers for the Wizarding World

 Any Harry Potter fans out there? Whether you enjoy the books or movies (or both), I've created a digital paper pack that you can use for making scrapbook pages based on our favorite wizard or witch!

It's called House Colors, and I took each of the four Hogwarts houses and made a collection of 26 patterns (stripes, plaids, and ginghams) and the two main solid colors for each Hogwarts house and put them together in this paper collection. Here's a sampling of what you'll get - each in a 12 x 12 size.

I've got black and yellow for the badger house: Hufflepuff... 

Navy blue and bronze for Ravenclaw...

 Silver/gray and green for those Slytherin folks...

And finally, a collection of papers for Gryffindor as well, in maroon and gold:

So if these are of interest to you, you can get this whole collection--that's over 100 digital papers that can be used as page backgrounds, in page pockets if you're using the Project Life App, or to enhance pages in lots of different ways using programs such as Photoshop-- in my shop HERE.

And if that wasn't enough, I decided to use a few of these patterns and incorporate them into a House Colors journal card kit specifically designed for use in the Project Life app.

It's got 3x4 and 4x4 and 4x6 cards that should cover your journal needs! Plus there's some filler cards that feature the "mascot" name and icon in a couple of different house color combinations.

Whew! That's nearly 200 journal cards you get! Plus, I've thrown in a few digital stickers of house names as well! I used them here over a photo of the castle:

Another New Kit - For That Other Disney Park in California :)

There was enough interest in my first Disney kit (see the post about it HERE) for me to make this second kit that features the lands, shops, & restaurants of Disney California Adventure park!

This kit is pretty much the same, featureing 8 different filler card designs in 4x6 cards (5 horizontal orientation and 3 vertical orientation), and each design is subway-style art (think word cloud-type design) focused around a specific "land" within Disney California Adventure.

Here's an example of one of the horizontal and one of the vertical cards in the kit:

Some "lands" have more attractions so that helped to determine whether it became a vertical or horizontal card!

Horizontal oriented cards included are: Avengers Campus, Buena Vista Street, Grizzly Peak, Pacific Wharf, and Paradise Gardens Park

Vertical oriented cards included are: CarsLand, Hollywood Land, and Pixar Pier.

Like the Disneyland kit, I've also included black and white, and "land color" versions of each card!

And I've got 3x4 (both horizontal and vertical versions) journal cards that match the fonts and colors of each land for you as well!

So, now to the good stuff—like how to purchase this kit! 

I'm offering this card kit in my new store HERE for only $3.50 !

Once purchased, the files sent will be two zipped folders (3x4 journal cards and 4x6 filler cards).  

Thanks again for your interest and support!

A New Card Kit—Perfect for Disneyland Pages!

Hey there loyal readers (all three of you, LOL).  I thought I'd try something out and see how it works.  I've created a new card kit that I'm going to offer for sale only through this blog post!

It's a mini kit with 40 cards that focus on my most favorite place in the world...Disneyland!

This card kit features 8 different filler card designs in 4x6 cards (3 horizontal orientation and 5 vertical orientation), and each design is subway-style art (think word cloud-type design) focused around a specific "land" within Disneyland.

My married kids just got back from a week at Disneyland and that got me excited to make these cards to compliment their pictures.

Here's an example of one of the vertical and one of the horizontal cards in the kit:

Each card contains the name of the 'land', the attractions in that land, and most if not all of the shops/restaurants found there as well—in a subway art-type style.

Some "lands" have more attractions so that helped to determine whether it became a vertical or horizontal card!

Horizontal oriented cards included are: Adventureland, Critter Country, and Tomorrowland

Vertical oriented cards included are: Fantasyland, Frontierland, Galaxy's Edge, Main Street USA, and New Orleans Square.

NOT included in this kit: Mickey's Toon Town (mostly because it's currently closed and under construction and will be getting a complete overhaul of attractions, shops and food locations and I didn't want to have to redo it later! LOL)  I'll update the kit with a small add-on when that "land" is open again in 2023.

But wait! There's more!  While each "land" card has it's own color palette of font colors, those may not "float your boat." So I'm also including a black and white version of each card, too! Here's a sample of those:

And just because I know there's bound to be someone who want's a little of both--there's also a third set of cards with just the "land" name in color and the rest of the card in black & white!

You didn't think I was finished did you?

You can't have a card kit without some matching journal cards!  These are available in 3x4 size and each design in both horizontal and vertical options.  Basically they each say: Things we did in [insert name of land]

I used the same fonts and colors as are on the filler cards. Here's an example:

So, how do you purchase this kit? I'm offering this card kit in my new store HERE for only $3.50 !

Once purchased, the files sent will be two zipped folders (3x4 journal cards and 4x6 filler cards).  

Thanks a ton!

Plus, there's festive patterns and the same bright colors in 12x12 solids!

Feeling Dapper

If you know me, you know that I'm a huge DISNEY fan! I love the parks (though I've only been to Disneyland and California Adventure and DisneySprings in Florida), the movies, the streaming service, the food (churros and Mickey bars anyone?), all of it!

While it's hard to create anything Disney-themed because of copyright, I thought I'd take a stab at something that people associate with Disney....the Dapper Dans. 

This collection of over 75 digital cards are perfect for documenting a trip down Main Street USA at Disneyland or Disney World, barbershop quarters, or anything requiring bright colored striped patterns!

This kit includes the following digital card files:

32 - 3x4 filler and journal cards in horizontal and vertical orientations

23 - 4x6 filler and journal cards in horizontal and vertical orientations

24 - 4x4 filler and journal cards

14 - 12x12 patterned papers in 2 styles and 7 color options

6 - 12 x 12 solid colors papers in 6 colors

21 - digital stickers (approx. 3 inches wide ) featuring three styles and 6 color combinations

So here's a sampling of those cards. Lots of stripes, vests, straw hats, and bow ties--in bright colors.
