A Happy New Year!

I had actually planned something completely different for your New Year's Eve Freebie, but then Just Jaimee gave away an awesome freebie this morning and I just had to use it. Therefore, this year's last freebie is a collection of alpha sheets made with her latest styles - 5 in all. Later in the new year - when I get more time - I will separate the sheets and make the alphas available as individual letters. But until then you have to do a little work of your own...

If you want something a little more sparkling - and wasn't around a year agon - I can recommend you to go to last years's New Year Alphas.

All I have left now is to wish you all a great New Year's Eve and a Wonderful 2012. Take care of yourselves and others tonight, OK?

Lots of Love - see you next year...

Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas days be merry and bright....

Danish Christmas - and lots more...

You better pour yourself a cup of coffee - I have lots to tell and give you.

1. Clean out doubles - Competition

If you were following this blog last Christmas you may remember that December is my time for cleaning out my archive. Such a clean out usually results in finding a lot of doubles = material I have purchased twiced. And I want to make it a Christmas tradition to give them away to you. Last year's Christmas Card Competition was not the biggest success, so this year I have decided to do something that requires less work for you. 

As you will find out later in this post inspiration can come from unexpected places and I sometimes need inspiration to make your freebies. Therefore, this year's competition will be as follows:

Email me something that means a lot to you - it can be a song title or lyrics, a poem, a picture or painting or simply a single word - anything you find inspirational. You don't have to email me full lyrics or the picture in itself just make sure I have enough information to find it on line.

Notice!

The deadline is New Years Eve and when the calendar shows 2012 I will have an impartial person pick the winners at random. There will be 3 equally big prizes for the lucky winners. When you email me put "Inspiration" in the subject field and make sure to include your name and email information and also let me know if you use PhotoShop as some of the doubles up for grabs are PS Tools.

Email address:  pms54@get2net.dk

2. Today's Freebie - For Carrie and her Mother.

The freebie I offer today is a special freebie. It is of course for all of you but it was inspired by a comment I got the other day from Carrie from Delaware and is therefore made especially for and dedicated to her and her mother from Aalborg in northern Jutland, Denmark. The freebie contains a lot of stuff associated with a good, old fashioned, Danish Christmas. I have also included a text that means a lot to all Danes around Christmas. It is an extraction from the Book "Peter's Christmas" written in 1870 and still known to all children in Denmark. I have used the fantastic illustration from the book to make a few elements for the kit. Finally, I have helped all you non-Danish speaking friends around the world by including a small word list giving you a few of the Danish Christmas words in English.

Here it is - click image for direct download (4shared).

I hope you will all enjoy a Danish Christmas with me. If you are interested in knowing a little more about Christmas in Denmark you can go to this site.

The story of the one left behind

This is the story of a Cute Little Alpha who played happily with all its friends on a designer's computer - not a care in the world... Until one day when an announcement was made that files were needed for a brand new Christmas Pack to go in the Danish Design Store!!!! All the files hurried to get in line and the Cute Little Alpha did all it could but was pushed and shoved until it finally found itself as the absolute end of the very long line.

The Cute Little Alpha crossed its fingers and hoped for the best, but luck was not its friend that day. When it was finally time for the Cute Little Alpha to apply for a place in the Christmas Pack a sign was put up saying "All seats taken - no more applicants needed"..... The Cute Little Alpha cried and cried and could not understand why it could not get into the Christmas Pack. "I'm cute and can be very Christmassy but I can also be used in all the other months of the year...". There were no friends left to play with so the Cute Little Alpha just sat in a corner of the Alpha Folder sighing and crying. 

Then one day the Cute Little Alpha heard something and looked up. It was the designer who felt so sorry for the Cute Little Alpha and had decided to pick it for a very important job. "You are going to be a Freebie on my blog" the designer said "and that is a very important job because you will get to live in a lot of loving people's computers and be used and used and used, and make people happy all the time!".

Now the Cute Little Alpha knew what people meant when they said "All good things come to those who wait" and the Cute Little Alpha jumped with joy - and has not stopped jumping since. Please let the Cute Little Alpha jump right into your computer and experience how much joy it will bring you!

You can pick up the Cute Little Alpha by simply clicking on its picture below.

Enjoy and be kind to the Cute Little Alpha.... please. It's even CU!

New in store = free sampler for you

My new product in my store at Scrap It Sassy is now uploaded and ready for you to purchase.

I have made a paper pack consisting of 5 Japanese papers all photographed and cut to size by me. 

Click image to get to my store.

I also added 5 free tags made from the papers and they are what I want to give you today for free.

I hope you'll enjoy them.

Not related to any Holidays!

When you move around in the online scrapping world this time of year you can easily get confused. We are being bombarded with a lot of Holidays at the same time - Halloween, Thanksgiving, DSD/iNSD and Christmas....! I had to draw back and make you something completely unrelated to Holidays.

That is why your freebie today is a mix-it alpha containing 3 scribbled alphas - 1 plain, 1 white paper sticker and 1 brown paper sticker - for you to mix together, or not.

Click image for direct download (4shared).

Oh my! Does it get into the category "Back to School" - and if so, is that a Holiday? Well, never mind...

Hope you'll enjoy a few Holiday-free days with this and I promise I'll be back with lots of Holiday stuff in a short time. In a few days I will also have a new product in my store that is related to nothing other than Japan! More about that later.

Enjoy - and stay happy!

Happy Halloween

Well, it's closing in on midnight here in Copenhagen and I find it appropriate to wish you all

Halloween has not yet grasped Denmark as much as I would have liked. The day is mostly a chance for the kids to get free candy simply by knocking on doors - they don't even make the effort of dressing up spooky... My day did, however, have one extremely spooky  element. Late afternoon, as dusk began to take over, a flock of about 30 crows decided to take over the air space just above or house... Both sound and sight gave me the chills, and they stayed for about half an hour!!!

 

There is one good thing about being an adult on a night like this: If I want to go Trick-or-Treating I don't have to dress up and go outside. I can simply wear my comfy PJ, go to the kitchen and scream at the candy basket - and I get anything I want :o)

I don't have an actual freebie for you today but I do have something free so it count, doesn't it? I have made this as a "piece of art" for my own use but found out that it would make a great gift for you for tonight. I don't know what you can use it for, but if you figure it out feel free to use it as you wish (but please give me some kind of credit for it).

Enjoy and have a spooky night!

 

That's what friends are for

About a month ago I received an email that were both scary and sweet:

my mom is justie. I hope i have right emails. I am sure you know a lady is harassing her and I know its cause that idiot is jealous cause I saw her work and it sucks and I watch my mom draw and shes great. she can make lots of great stuff. but she got so stressed and now she ended up having a heart attack. she will have surgery tomorrow but dr said 6 weeks of no work no stress no nothing. my dad said to turn all stores and blog and eveything down for that time so she wont want to work or fix or whatever. she said to email her friends and people to let them know what happen to her so they wont worry or something. she will be home from surgery by next monday if its all ok.

Gena

Justie is the talent behind the designer Just Creations and the blog with the same name and I have for a while considered her a friend. Therefore, I felt so bad about this email and crossed my fingers for more than a week hoping she would be OK. I don't know if my fingers had anything to do with it but she did do OK. Yeahh!

Unfortunately, the same can not be said for her blog. I will not go into details just say that the patient died and Justie is now not only unable to work for a while but also without a place to post...

That is why I was so pleased - and deeply honored - when she wrote to me a couple of weeks ago to ask if I would like her Halloween designs for my blog so they wouldn't go to waste. Of course I did, but I insisted to post them as her designs and not my own. And that is the reason that today's freebies look a little different from my usual freebies.

Justie supplied me with all her Halloween designs and I have re-packed them into 4 freebies for you.

Click each image for direct download (4shared).

"Halloween Frames" - 6 cute frames, full size, 300 dpi.

"Halloween Kit" -  4 papers and 22 elements/WA, full size, 300 dpi.

"Halloween QP" - 12x12, 300 dpi.

"Trick or Treat" - Elements, Word Art and letters, full size, 300 dpi.

Since 4shared is acting up (again) today you get Hotfile links as well:

Frames

Kit

QP

Trick or Treat

When you use any of these  designs in your work please credit Justie, not me. I have included her general TOU with the necessary information.

I hope you will all join me in wishing Justie a speedy recovery and if you leave a comment below I'll make sure she gets it.

Lots of Love to Justie and you all...

Where have I been....? - and freebies

Hi again everyone,

You may have wondered why this blog has been silent for a while - or you may not have noticed at all. But the reason for my absence this time has been all good. I took a well earned Fall Holiday to my personal Paradise on earth - the island of Bornholm. I didn't tell you beforehand because I didn't want to announce to all burglars that my flat was empty for a week :o)

It has been a wonderful week of peace and quiet, sunny fall days and absolute relaxation. I can recommend it to all of you who spend a lot of time with your computer - long walks, fresh air and of course plenty of good food. Another thing I would like to recommend is something I never thought I should say, but here goes...

Bornholm is a treasure for photographers and usually when I go there I return with hundreds of photos. But this time my beloved camera decided to take its own holiday on day two of the vacation, a spring broke and I could not take one single picture!!!! If you love your camera you know what I went through - all seven stages of grief in a few hours. But when I came out on the other side I realized that it was not such a bad thing after all. I suddenly had the opportunity / was forced to actually LOOK at the things around me and remember them in my build-in camera (my brain) and it was fantastic...

Well, enough about me - on to the stuff you came for:

Since I am not able to give you the Bornholm freebies I had planned I bring you a little more Halloween. A paper pack with 7 papers and a small addition of 3 "Happy Halloween" word art. I hope you will find use for it all.

I'll be back again soon - will you?

A pack of thrills

As promised I got the Halloween Misc-Mix finished - without any more pumpkin borders :o)

It gives you 16 thrilling elements for spooky layouts - keep it away from small children!

Click image for direct download (4shared).

See you soon.

You are not gonna believe this...

A few days ago I started making a little Halloween element pack for you but as usual I got sucked into one of the details - a border brush by Diana -  and suddenly found myself unable to stop! So instead of a small element pack I ended up with a pack of Pumpkin Borders - and not just any pack...

... 110 pumpkin borders!

I guarantee you will never ever be short of a pumpkin border again for the rest of your natural living life. I have even included a border of "fire" that you can place behind the borders to light the lantern.

As you can imagine a pack like this takes up a lot of MBs so I have separated it into 6 parts. Be sure to get them all.

But of you have the band width and the patience for it you can take it all in one download but be warned: It's close to 200 MB!!!!!

Links for direct downloads (4shared) are under the preview.

Pack 1 link should be fixed now!

PACK 1

PACK 2

PACK 3

PACK 4

PACK 5

PACK 6

ALL IN ONE!

I hope this huge freebie will not kill you and that you will find a lot of use for it come Halloween and Thanksgiving.

The small element pack it should have been will be made and I'll post it in a day or two :o)

Rock!

First I got an award because my blog rocks and the other day I got a comment telling me that I rock (Thanks Juli). That is something...

...and I have to celebrate it with something "Rocky".

I haven't got much time as I am working in something HUGE for you (will be posted soon), but I managed to make you a rocky, Halloween-ish tombstone alpha.

Rock on until next post!

First taste of Halloween

Hi all,

This weekend something odd happened.... 

Copenhagen finally got the summer we never had with temperatures around 20 C, sun and clear blue skies. It was wonderful so Sunday I went on a photo-walk around our local cemetery to capture the "Autumn Summer" (according to the official rules we are not allowed to call it Indian Summer). While walking around and collecting chestnuts I suddenly felt Halloween-ish - It was, however, a cemetery. So I went home to start working on some dark, spooky items from some of the pictures I took.

You will get some of them soon but today I will start out with something more autumn than spooky: 2 background papers. They can be used for both autumn and Halloween - your choice.

See you soon,
