Scrapping Freebie: Cute Music Themed Pattern Pack

May 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Finally I was able to get away from work and zip this freebie up. I was playing around with some patterns and made these cute ‘music’ inspired designs. Mostly made of dingbats from KevinandAmada‘s font collection.

The free paper/background included was irish coffee inspired greens and mocha. I also included .png overlays of the patterns, which would be really handy if you are lazy to use the .pat file. You can easily add a layer below for color variations.

Here’s our Cute Music Themed Pattern Pack #1

Personalized Folding Umbrella Templates

May 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Oh, I miss ‘designing’ at Artscow. You see that’s where I started digi scrapping. I wanted to make personalized gifts, then I decided maybe I’ll make my own backgrounds and elements for my photobooks. And before I knew it, I was mad out it. Lol. So most of my ‘free kits’ were my beginners experiments.

And I have so long since stopped making kits and templates. Sigh. Mostly because I don’t really have the luxury of time. But I wish I could get back to it. I love tinkering with designs. But maybe soon I’ll design some stuff because I want to make a photobook for my daughter and last years travels.

Anyway, i was browsing my templates and saw these umbrella templates I made. Personalized photo umbrellas? Yes! They make great gifts!

You can use these templates for free..

Scrapping Freebie: Floral Elements Pack 1

May 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Yay! Finally, I’ve gotten around to posting this. I made this a few weeks back after I finished making the Leaf PS Brushes. I was playing around with different ways I could use the brushes and before I knew it I had a couple of flower elements already.

Lol. It just took me time to clean things up a bit and ‘pack’ it for giveaway, I was too distracted with a letterhead prints project. Anyway, I don’t wanna delay it further, so here’s the freebie.

4 floral elements with leaves from the PS brushes freebie pack.

RedHeart Inspired

January 25, 2013 By Leave a Comment

After my month long vacation, I found myself roped into crocheting again. In fact I had my crocheting needles with me the entire time we were moving from one place to another. And had a crazy time crocheting necklace scarves and belts. Right now I’m crocheting a laptop sleeve for my sister and also two tablet sleeves for myself and a friend.

So what brought on this crocheting frenzy? Easy. RedHeart.com. It. Is. Awesome. I found myself enamored with simple easy to do crocheting projects. To be honest, as much as I drool over big complicated projects, I can’t commit that much time and I know myself, if it takes too much time, I’m just guaranteed not to finish it. So when I was combing for some fashion accessory crocheting project I stumbled across RedHeart again. And got sucked into checking out each and every pattern they have. Lol.

RedHeart Free Crochet Patterns

Next up, I’m looking for a pattern for a violin case. Yes, a violin case. This would be a gift for a friend’s daughter who plays the violin. I’m definitely going the extra mile here. But RedHeart is just so inspiring so I’m sure I can do it. Who knows next time I’ll be crocheting and stitching up Mitchell Guitars cases? There is something so awesome and appealing to me about musical instruments sporting crocheted sleeves and cases.

This is another great creative outlet for me, but that’s not saying I’m gonna stop with scrap booking stuff. I’m just getting inspired in a different way and who knows I might get a lot of scrapping ideas from these recent creative find.

Tips for Creating Your Own Business Cards

December 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

You might have noticed, once in awhile I offer business card design freebies here. Not just because I love making them, but more so because business cards, I believe are very important for a business.

Business Card Maker

There are several reasons why one would need a business card. If you are offering services, starting up a business, a business card is very important and essential in spreading word about you and what you offer. It’s a very important element to help you capture the attention of potential customers. It’s also like a small representation of you. And best of all, its an inexpensive way of making yourself known, coz let’s face it, not everyone has the budget to rent a billboard, or a 60 sec TV ad.

So for those seriously considering establishing a business, or building a network having a business card is essential. If you have the extra budget, then engaging a business card services company to design and create your business card would be ideal. But if you’re on a tight budget, you can just easily make your own.

A few tips for a good, professional business card:

  • Make sure the design, fonts reflects your personality and matches your business.
  • Do not clutter. Do not include unnecessary information.
  • Make sure you include important information. Primary info should be your name, email address, fax numbers, business phone numbers. If you plan to put your personal numbers on your card, then be prepared for those calls.

Freebie WP Theme Sneak Peek: Candy Clouds

October 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This project has taken a backseat, I’m a bit shamefaced to admit, I was in a procrastinating mood again. I keep putting it off coz I reasoned I needed a lot of time to finish each template. And that I don’t have much off. I have loads of websites to maintain and the ‘creative’ projects has been relegated to the sides. It also doesn’t help that I’m currently so into online shopping, I use up a lot of my spare time browsing sites for sale events, even a julbo sale won’t escape my notice.

But I’ll have the extra curricular activities rest for awhile and I’ve been working on a template for WordPress. I have plans to make this available for Blogger too but first here’s a sneak peek. I’m calling this Candy Clouds and I know its a girly theme. I like feminine themes like these coz I realize that there are a lot of lady/mom/girl bloggers out there and there’s not much cutesy and girly themes to choose from whenever I browse free theme repositories.

This will be available for download here soon..
