Don't miss the Blimp kit at TDS

"Enchanted" mega-kit is a collaborative effort from the German-speaking Designer community they have created exclusively for The Daily Scrapper Lifestyle Magazine. Indulge into the beautiful and mesmerizing mysteries of castles and ruins in Germany. The designers have certainly outdone themselves creating beautiful pieces of 'history' and romance into this kit. Its versatility allows you to create your layouts in a variety of themes.

Content Includes:
160 elements, 72 papers, 11 wordarts in German and English, 12 labels in German and English and 3 sets of alphabets.

Here is the layout that I created with this gorgeous kit. I hope my friends don't mind their faces plastered on my blog! :o)

February Desktop

I used Crystal's Creations template from the Decorate Your Desktop Challenge at Lifescrappers for my February Desktop! I just love how it turned out with Crystal's new kit, Love and XO's, available at Lifescrappers and Scrappity Doo Dah! If you would like to use this template for your desktop, simply sign up for an account at Lifescrappers and then check out this thread for the challenge information...LS Decorate Your Desktop Challenge.

Free Word Art

I am trying my hand at brushes in PSE. The brushes that I am using right now are those that NBK sells in The Shoppe.



I made these two word arts using the 99 brushes mix. However, NBK has a huge selection of brushes available at The Shoppe. If you are a pro or a beginner, brushes give fantastic results!

Here is my first word art. I made this word art with Cheri font (free at Dafont) and 3 different brushes from NBK's 99 Brush Mix. I used this on a layout that I made for my daughter's Piano Recital. But, you could use it for any music or dance activity.

And this is my second try at word art. I created this with Loverboy font (also free at Dafont) and 4 different brushes from NBK's 99 Brush Mix.

Hope you can use these!

I have found that creating different folders for word art, templates, alphas and overlays works really well for me. Organizing everything before you have too many files and gets out of hand is key in finding what you are looking for at the right moment!

Sharing some newly released kits

I just had to show you some new kits that I have had the awesome opportunity to work with!
