Not THAT busted...

You might have noticed one of the comments to my last post about me being "busted". Well, Anonynous, I'm not THAT busted. I did, however, make to bads:

• I forgot to put the Credits in the zip file.
• I mis-took the font for being free to use.

Now I'm wiser and want to let you know that Anonymous is absolutely right - The font I used for the "Versatile Alpha" IS made with Juan Casco's font "Sucker" and I had no intention to hide that or make it seem as if I had done it all (I'm not THAT good ;o))

When I got the font I downloaded it from DeviantArt and could not find any mention of TOU for the font, but as soon as I found out it was actually for Personal Use Only, I immediately contacted Juan to apologize and he gave me permission to let the alpha stay on the blog for anyone to download.

Furthermore, I will make him an appropriate donation and put up the "Credits" with the download link as soon as possible. So Thank You to Anonymous for making me aware of my mistakes - and an even bigger Thank You to Juan for letting me keep the alpha online.

If you are interested in getting the font for your own use you can find it at DaFont and many other places - and don't miss Juan's website, he is extremely talented.

Until next time... stay as cool as your local weather allows!

One Alpha – Many Uses

Now there is only 2 weeks until I’m back to serve you full time here on NbF.

In the meantime I have created a great alpha for you. It could be called Steampunk, it could be antique/vintage, it could go as classic or modern…. I simply call it versatile!

I hope you can find your own use for it.

The download contains uppers, lowers, numbers and symbols all in full size, 300 dpi.

Credits forgotten in the download - so here goes:

See you soon!

Buttons Up!

I still have so much to tell you all but since my apperances here is so rare I will not wast your time with details and just give you the short version:

My training went great (I really like to teach) so I take another 4 weeks starting on Monday :o)

I invested in two new computers and upgrated my PSE to 9.0 :o)

When moving all my stuff from the old computer to the new one I placed it all on a (new) external hard drive … and then it broke down… and I lost EVERYTHING!!!! :o(((

Before you start yelling BACK UP: I had most of it backed up – but as zip files!!! So far I have spend 2 weeks un-zipping and have only finished about a quater of the files :o0

All this mess means that I haven’t got much to work with when making you freebies so you have to be patience for all the good stuff to return.

I did, however, compfort myself with a very small shopping sprea and bought something to use for today’s freebie for you:

A pack of buttons in lovely summer colours – I do hope you like them.

I will try to return soon with more freebies as I very much miss to design.

Stay cool!

I’m still here!

So much to tell you – so little time.

I have missed you all and I have missed designing so here is a little something I took the time making one very late night.

I have purchased Just Creation’s wonderful Rusty Styles and wanted to make something with them for you. It ended up as another Misc-Mix with 11 elements and one background all ”rusting with age”. I hope you can use them for something.

I am finishing my job on Tuesday next week (for a short while) and that will open up a lot more time to make freebeis for you. So stay tuned until next week…

Good news, good news and bad(-ish) news

Good News #1: I have received another award!

Becky from Becky’s Creations thinks my blog rocks - how happy am I? Very Happy! As always I am deeply grateful for the compliment and a little humble as it comes from a designer with a great talent. Thanks A LOT Becky :ox

I will of course pay this award forward to 5 blogs I find “rocking”, but please have patience. As you will find out in a line or two I am very hung up at the moment.

Good News #2: I got a job!!!!!!
As of yesterday I am working again. It is “only” as a trainee, only for 4 weeks and it is unpaid, but after almost 3 years without a steady job it’s a start - and it’s great.

Bad(-ish) News:
Me working full time (+ freelance on the side) leaves me very little time for designing and that leaves you with very little freebies for the next 4 weeks. However, I will not leave you completely. A small freebie once in a while should be possible.

I hope you can share my happiness in spite of the consequences and that you will stay with me here on NbF.

See you soon(-ish)…

Steampunk Alpha #02

This follow up on yesterday’s Steampunk Alpha is made especially for “Anonymous” who needed the alpha without shadows for cutting. I did not have the time to remove the shadows manually so I found another rusty metal style and made a brand new alpha from it. The style is the only thing different from yesterday’s version. I hope you can use this one for Father’s Day instead…?

See you soon.

Steampunk Alpha #01

We have passed over into June and that means two things: Summer is here and my 4shared bandwidth is renewed - yeahhh!

That calls for a freebie…

I have made you a steampunk alpha with both upper, lower, numbers and symbols, all as png-sheets. And if you don’t like steampunk, don’t worry. It can be used for so much more than that.

See you soon.
