It's almost Labor Day, but we are going to take it back to a different holiday--St. Patrick's Day. I love the green on this one and vintage feel.

And you know for my layout, I had to do Buffy and Angel. I used to want a claddagh ring so bad after watching this episode <3

Have a safe enjoyable weekend everyone and I will see you back next with an oldie and a newbie!

Mucho love!

I am a huge fan of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, so this kit is something that had been in my "to do" list for awhile. Released in 2023, it was the last kit I put out before Scrap Girl closed its doors. If you missed it at the time, you can grab it here now for free.

If there are other kits you are missing from your collection, you can let me know here or on my Facebook and I will do my best to get it uploaded. I can't promise how long links will remain active, I'm sure as a free user my space is limited...but I won't remove them until it's necessary. I also have a few new things I've been working on that I will post here on my blog, so follow me!

Thanks for still being here, loves!

.::Awesome Site for Scrappers & Designers::.

 Have you visited Pixel Scrapper?

It's a treasure trove of digital scrapkits and graphics, as well as a really cool place to hang out to chat with other scrappers and learn! Their commercial terms of use, for designers, is very generous and I have found their resources to be unique and of great quality. My favorite is probably their photoshop styles, but there is so much more--overlays, png elements, brushes etc. Take a look at these:

Elif Sahin's Painted Wood Style

Janet Scott's Painted Flower Brushes

Melo Vrijhof's Painted Edge Overlays

But Pixel Scrapper is even better for scrappers! There are so many kits in a variety of themes--you can find almost anything you are looking for! So many styles--mixed media, clean scrapping, traditional--it's all there. And if you are new to digital scrapbooking, no worries! Check out the article What is Digital Scrapbooking? It's very informative and a great place to begin your foray into digital scrapbooking. These are some of my personal favorites:

Janet Scott's All the Princesses Jewelry Kit

Melo Vrijhof's Bad Day Elements

Antebellum Press's Retro Picnic

Pixel Scrapper gives you five free downloads per day, plus as a new user you receive one free kit of your choice. If you want more? Join as a subscriber and receive 5 complete kits per day!

But I think one of the biggest draws is the community itself. Over the years, so many sites have slowed down or closed altogether, and I for one miss the camaraderie of socializing with others who share the same interests. Pixel Scrapper provides that community. Stop in the forum and visit the general chat area to talk about your day, or ask questions in the software category. Learn from the tutorials or join a blog train, or challenge yourself as a designer or a scrapper in the challenges section. You can even share your personally made graphics in the Commons area for others to use. There is really some place for everyone to belong.

Thanks for reading ya'll! Hopefully, I introduced you to a new site or maybe just reminded you if you haven't visited in a while! I love to share new places that I find interesting!

.::Bewitched + Freebie::.

 Happy haunting season!! This year's Halloween kit is a bit retro, alot colorful and just a wee bit spooky!!

The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats. Tom Skelton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. --Ray Bradbury Over 65 elements, an alpha and 15 papers. Grab Bewitched HERE. And this pretty freebie from Kythe!!  You can download HERE x's and o's Helly

.::Summer Fades to Fall + Freebie::.

 Why is that September makes me so sad?

Is it the end of summer, the onset of fall, the changing of our world? I'm not sure quite what the reasons are. All I know, is that September always fills me with a strange sense of melancholy and loss. With this kit, I wanted to give summer one small last hurrah, but in muted neutral tones to express the solemnity I feel.

And the wonderful, super talented Kythe has made a stunning cluster for yall!
