I'm back!

Sorry I've been gone for so long, we had a really really bad summer

and it seems to want to creep into my fall!

I'll be so happy when things settle down again.

In the meantime, I've begun creating kits, elements and

best of all FREEBIES again!

I used my "Feels Like Fall" kit papers

and my "Feels Like Fall Add-on" papers

along with my newest button script for Paint Shop Pro

to create a whole lot of buttons!

This was too big to send it through as one zip

so I put it in DigibyDesigns Freebies section.

Just go here to pick it up.

Thanks for visiting,

see you soon.

Happy Independence Day....

Happy Independence Day!!

I really love holidays where we have
NO PLANS!!
The turn out to be such fun days.
We saw some awesome fireworks last
night, so my kids enjoyed sleeping
in late or falling back to sleep.
While they were sleeping I've been
working on freebies that I promised
last week and testing some
Paint Shop Pro Scripts.

Today is the 2nd day of
Digi by Designs
Independence Day Sale

in my portion of the store you can save
30% off (including commercial use items)
Visit the Store

This week I have a new

Paint Shop Pro Script in the mall.
Basic Elements 1
This script uses papers, colors and textures
of your choice to create 5 Basic Elements
for scrapbooking: 12 inch Ric Rac, a set
of 4 photo or page corners, a clip, an Eight
Petal Paper Pieced Flower and an eyelet.

This item contains: Templates for the elements, Script files,
Full Instruction and email information,
if you need any help or support.

AND FINALLY....
Thanks for reading and being so patient
to wait for this weeks freebies.

Sorry ran out of bandwidth on the
first link, so I had to break the file
into 2, you can try these
zip1 zip2
Now I have had an issue with esnips
they don't like you downloading 2
large files at a setting, so
if you can't get both right
away be sure to check back.
Sorry for the inconvience.

Sorry I got a little carried away with
the buttons, but they are so easy
to do with this script

Anyway, Happy Scrapping Everyone
MaryAnne

teen kit, new mini and FREEBIE...

WDYT. IRL. JK. KIT. TMOT.
Say what?!

Ever think you don't speak the same language as your kids?

If you're like me you probably don't! But now that won't matter,
here's a kit to get you up to speed.

With a modern and funky twist to everyday experiences,
"Say What?!" is a Scrapbook Kit that contains everything
you need to complete a whole album about your teenagers
or even questions you might have about what they are saying.
This is a great kit to scrap for or with your teens and kids.

Lilies and Daisies

This is a fun mini kit inspired by some beautiful summer flowers.
This mini includes solid and patterned papers, some hangers, ribbons
and cutouts. Perfect for all kinds of layouts and at a mini price!

Finally, thanks for visiting my blog!
Here is a little freebie

it coordinates with the Lilies and Daisies mini kit, but I just
couldn't wait to add it to the kit before it went into the mall.
So my impatience is Your FREEBIE!

Happy Scrapping,
MaryAnne

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
I'm sure everyone's been told, things they can do are only
limited by ones imagination. I know I heard that growing
up almost daily. I never did understand why grownups
would say those things. I was just a kid and my
imagination was quite unique!
But as I grew up, I had many more things to occupy
my mind. I found my imagination is somewhat
limited now. So I have to work to be creative.
Digital Scrapbooking has opened many doors
to that creativity! But as I sit here to play,
some days I really don't feel creative.
I can look at things for hours and just have
no clue what to do with this stuff on my screen.

The other day I had an AH-Ha moment.
I don't want to just create scrapbook kits and
elements. I'm taking time from my family to do
this and lets face it, I'm home because I want
to spend time with my family. So I had to
find a way to actually use my own creations
in my scrapbooks too (I'm a year behind right now!)

I looked at my newest items, my
Paper Makers Overlays

(also available at Digi Shop Resources)
and figured out I could spend just a bit more
time playing with them and create a kit
using the overlays. They are for personal
or commercial use, so I could put them to
work for myself!

I used the overlays above to create
Driftwood

It's a soft hued kit with
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
Perfect for layouts of everyday, heritage and more.

As thanks for listening to my ramblings.
I have a little freebie for you.
You can get it

HERE
Now back to real life.

Happy Scrapping,
MaryAnne

Happy Scrapping,

Happy Sweet 16!

It's official I have a 16 year old!

In honor of her birthday this week

I created this little freebie

and of course I used my Sweet 16 Kit

that I made especially for this occasion!

As well as some of my newest

Paper Makers Overlays!

I now have 6 sets available in the

commercial use products at Digi by Design

When you get a minute, check them out.

They have been so much fun to create and

I'm learning how amazing they really are!

In just a few clicks I can have many different

papers ready to include in a kit, give away as

a freebie or use to create some of my most

prized layouts for my dd's, which reminds me

I'm now officially 1 year behind!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm really going to be needing

the overlays, lol.

Saturday June 16th is another
Super Saver Saturday
This week you can pick up
Dandelion Bouquets
at 50% off!

Don't forget to pick up
Dandelion Bouquets Freebie
(for just a little longer)
It's just a little add-on I created to say Thanks!
The alpha included in the freebie was created using
my Alphacreate Script too!
If you have Paint Shop Pro you'll love it!
It takes making a custom filled alpha from a
tedious chore to a breeze in just a click of
your mouse! Best thing is you can use papers
you already own! Things you've created for
yourself or some from your favorite designer!!
Or you can use the materials palette to make
the alpha in any color and texture combination
you'd like, creating a perfect alpha for any
layout you choose!
This script is another of my commercial use
products, so if you're a designer or would like
to be, give it a try. You can make tons of
alpha's to add to kits or freebies in just
a short time!

Thanks for visiting

Cortinas del Azul

I was in the mood for something light

yet masculine when I stumbled across

this color scheme.

Cortinas del Azul

This kit contains: 10 12x12 patterned and

lightly textured papers, 3 frame clusters,

2 full Alpha's and 34 other "elements" including

ribbons, tied bows, laced eyelets and more,

all created in 300dpi.

Since I have to create the

"basic element packs"

in order to make other items for the kit,

I've added 4 element packs in with

this kit as well (not shown in preview)

remember I do allow limited commercial use on all

my products, just email me if you'd like to use

something or have any questions.

Now I need your help!!

I'm trying to create at least 1 kit and mini kit

a week, just to keep the creativity flowing.

But I'm running out of kit idea's and kit names.

If you suggest a kit and/or a name that I make

into a kit I will give it to you FREE!

Just make sure to leave me contact info,

so I can send the kit or a coupon to you.

Thanks for reading,

Happy Scrapping

This is a mostly monochromatic kit based on a digital painted rose.
The kit has 13 beautiful mixture of card stock, slight grunge
