New tut using Just Beachy kit

Wanted to let you know I have a tutorial up using my Just Beachy scrap kit. You can find it on my tutorial site, it's called "Just Beachy Forum Set" Yeah, I know, I come up with the most clever tutorial names ever :D Anyway, this tutorial is to make a forum set, hope you like it :)

Donation Button

I have added a donation button on the right. I originally got into making the kits in hopes of eventually selling them and earning a little money (I have to support my PSP addiction somehow lol). I am a SAHM mom, and we all know that the cost of living is moving up higher than wages right now. But for now, I like making the free kits, so I figured I'd keep doing that and just throw that donation button up there. If you want to leave a $1 or $2 I appreciate it very very very much, but if you can't or don't feel the need to donate - I love you equally! :) Any money donated will first be used to buy some commercial use bows and elements that I kind of suck at making, and after that put towards my real life needs and wants...

THANKS!

New Kit - Orchids

So - I like to cruise sxc.hu looking at the pictures waiting to be inspired. I stumbled across a picture of beautiful orchids and viola - inspiration :) I still don't like / am not too good at making frames, but there are about a half dozen in the kit. One is included both as a PNG and as a PSP file, in case you want to utilize the layers.

I am still playing around with the elements, trying some different stuff. I tried making a ribbon, but wasn't too thrilled with it. I threw it in the kit, but didn't make any more. So, all that to say that the kits are a work in progress, and any advice, pointers, and/or constructive criticism is welcome!

Once again, papers are in the tagger sized kit only, as they are only 600x600 and 72 dpi. There are a few papers not included in the previews. And of course, I didn't preview the frames again. :) Dropshadows are only on the previews.

What's "tagger sized"?

Because it was asked - let me answer :)
Tagger sized papers are generally 600x600 (sometimes a little bigger), and 72 dpi. They are used by those of us who make signature tags, and are not suitable for printing out and scrapbooking with. I think they could be used for smaller scale digital scrapbooking, but since I don't digi-scrap, I can't stay for sure.
I tried making the larger papers, but it makes my program run sooooooooooo slowly, I just gave up. :(
Hope that helps!
(All my files are saved as .png so they can be used in Paint Shop or Photo Shop.)

Vino de frutas Mini-Kit

I have a new minikit for you, but first I have a favor to ask - can you please oh please go to youtube and watch this video and leave a comment / rate it. It's for a challenge I am doing for an online support group I am in. If you know anyone who is married to / dating a law enforcement officer, have them check us out at www.policewives.org

So, I just kinda lost interest in this kit, so I decided to share what I have done. I love the elements, but just couldn't get any mojo for the papers or frames. :( There are more elements than what are shown in the preview - same designs, just more color choices. You can download just the elements, which are higher resolution for scrappers, or the papers and elements minikit, which is designed with taggers in mind. Drop shadows on preview only.

Tutorial using my May Color Challenge kit

Well, nothing new today, but I am working on a new scrap kit. This one is taking my awhile because I can't get my mojo. lol I thought I was inspired, but now I'm thinking I may put this idea on the back burner and start on a new one, IDK. Anyway, I wanted to let you guys know that I do have a tutorial up using my May Color Challenge kit. You can find it here:

Here's what your result might look like :)

If you end up trying the tutorial, I would love to see your results! Email them to me at tutsbyj0eswife@gmail.com

On a completely personal note, I am going to see the new Indiana Jones movie either Thursday or Friday and I am SOOOOO excited! I love the previous 3 films, and I have heard that this one is just as good. Can't wait! :)

Just Beachy - Alpha

I have created an Alpha to go along with the Just Beachy kit. I probably won't do many alphas because I personally don't use them, but I thought this beach scene was screaming to be made into letters! :) I have included the font that the alpha is based on (which is okay per the font creators TOU) in case you want to use it in your tags / scrapbooking. The alphas are 200dpi, and roughly 400x400.
